Lift Off!



CJane had asked those who care for NieNie to give their prayers, fasts, money and on Saturday Balloon Releasing. Regular readers of NieNie know that her family release helium balloons with messages in them regularly for birthdays and anninversaries. So we decided to join in the fun on Saturday at 6pm the Olsen gang and some neighborhood recruits sent off a few balloon's with some well wishes for the Nielsons.

There were big gatherings at parks and at temples. It was fun thinking that bloggers all over the world were also letting off balloons at the same time for such a great cause.

Design Mom has declared this Thursday to be Nie Nie Day and there is going to be hundreds of silent auctions with the proceeds going to the Nielson family. Be sure to check them out and maybe you'll find some treasure and being doing a service at the same time. I will be auctioning off some jewelry on my jewelry blog, (which I have been neglecting during this move, but soon to be resurrected) @ myneckcandy.blogspot.com
(if you want to join in on the fun check out Design mom for more details.

I just need to find out how this auction will work and then I will be good to go!!

sorry kimmee, I'm not good at explaining things sometimes. Read my side bar for their story and check out cjane's blog on my link list for the full story. Get your tissues ready, it's a tear jerker!
