Just Donations accepted too....

We've had a few people tell us that they would prefer not to purchase raffle tickets because *after all that is a big doll and I just don't have a place for her*....Well, you if you also feel that way you can just make a Donation ONLY.

When you click the donation button and sign into PayPal there will be a link that says:

+add special instructions to the seller

Just click on that and type in Donation Only - No tickets. That way no raffle ticket numbers will be assigned to your name and you have still contributed towards our goal of raising $10,000.

We hope everyone will consider donating even just $5. a month for the next 4 months would make a huge difference.Thanks everybody!!!

Finished Doll!

I can't say enough about the beautiful job Mz Jan Brown did in creating our art doll from our contributions, but hopefully you can! I was literally gobsmacked by what an amazing job Jan did! If it wasn't for every one's beautiful contributions she definitely wouldn't exist!

She is on her way to the publishers to have her photo shoot and next time we post it will be announcing the raffle but meanwhile do some gawking at the photo album!

2 New Ties

Not only did Jan create the doll from all our beautiful contributions she also created two beautiful ties for the doll as well.
