TODAY IS THE DAY

32 Years Old Today

This is my Beautiful Daughter Nellie now living in Chicago and today is her 32 Birthday and the cook book is going up today and in honor of her 32 BD...the first 32 buyers that pay will receive a free gift from my bin full of hand made items :)

This is how Nellie looked when she first started helping me with my Famous Celebrity cook book when she just turned 12.

The Local News paper will be here within 10 days to write an article about my cook book so if you want to get in on the free gift  then you better hurry up as I am sure I will get flooded with orders when that story is published (It did happen in the past)

If you go to my right side bar you will see a picture of my cook book and you can click on that picture to go to my selling blog to place an order or ask questions.

I am very excited about this cook book as it has some awesome recipes from some awesome celebrities and I have included all the autographed photos and letters that I have received from some of them.

Thank you to all my blogger friends that have encouraged me and also shown excitement...You mean a lot to me.

I do have a request from any bloggers that would like to help me get the word out and post about it and maybe put a link on their side bar.

And if you have a Face Book page maybe you could post about it on there with a link back to my selling blog. Thank you to all of you that got the extra mile to help .

I will be donating a portion of the proceeds to no kill pet shelters and also hoping to make a little to help us get moved back up North by friends and family (we need to move because of health problems) 

Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you are thinking. I Love reading your comments

GETTING NEAR THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

I enjoy helping others in need whenever I can and especially Pets that have no voice and can't ask for help.

I have a goal now to help some pet rescue centers with part of the proceeds from my cook book.

I do have another goal and that is to be able to sell enough to save up to move back up farther North to be closer to my Friends and Family. There is no way that can happen from our retirement income soooo along with the cook book and selling on ebay and a few Garage sales I hope to achieve that goal by July 20th (and I did put a reserve on a U Haul for that date).

I know it will take more than 1 truck to move all our belongings but since it will be Billy and I doing all the packing and Loading and driving we may have to make a second trip.

I do think I can achieve this goal since I have always been able to do so in the past. Here are just a few of the newspaper articles about my achievements in the past (YES...you can get free P R from most all newspapers) This first picture is Nellie and I showing the news reporter how we put the Cook Book's together. This was 20 years ago and he came to our houseI guess his favorite recipe was from Brooke Shields and he liked the picture of her :)
This is where I made about 25 Gingerbread Houses and sold them at a craft sale to help pet shelters
This is the young boy I helped with CP to get some Chairs he needed. He is now 16 and is going for special driving lessons so he can be able to drive some day
This is the article that the news paper did about it and when the Jaycees saw it they donated part of the chairs plus another man saw it and came by my house and wrote a ck for $300.00 for the last chair. Made me very happy even though I only sold 2 cook books (on that round) and I was able to achieve my goal to help Josh
These are just a few things I have listed now on ebay so go take a look if you can
My Husband even decided to part with his collectible saw to help the moving fund :)

Here is a link to my auctions so you can check everything out and also don't forget to check out my selling blog for some great deals http://www.ebay.com/sch/makingmemoriesnana/m.html?item=270908087952&viewitem=&_trksid=p4340.l2562

I will be adding more all week that a lot of you crafters might like
