Good luck and the winner will be chosen, via Debi's very first VLOG entry!

And, just because I think you should see it... when you are done checking out the jewelry and entering my contest, please check out Tuesday's Name Gallery. Back when Tuesday was sick, my sweet friend Tamara, came up with this idea, so that all of Jess' friends could let her know that Tuesday was always in our thoughts. Tamara took our creations and made them into a pillow for Jess and now, you can view them :)
PLEASE feel free to send your own versions of Tuesday's name, to let Jess know you think of Tuesday often too. (believe me when I say this, it helps Jess & family to know...)

Another Fundraiser for Tuesday!

My friend Sam is a consultant for Close To My Heart. She is going to donate 20% of her profit on sales from now until the end of May to The Tuesday Whitt Memorial Fund. All you need to do is go to Sam's website, place an order and send her an email to let her know that it is for Tuesday! YOU MUST LET HER KNOW IT IS FOR TUESDAY SO THAT SHE WILL KNOW TO DONATE THAT PROFIT!

I can not tell you how excited I an about this. I have just recently (about a year ago) found CTMH products and I can not rave about them enough.

A Tuesday Fundraiser

These beautiful pendants have been made specially for Tuesday by Mark, a wonderful designer at HomeStudios.
My good friend Sharlene went to him and asked him if he would be willing to design a piece for her to be sold for a fundraiser and instead he has designed two beautiful pieces and is offering 10% of his profits for ALL sales from now until Valentine's Day to go towards Tuesday's fight against neuroblastoma. This includes purchases of any of the items in his store! This is a HUGE gift!
These pieces are incredible, affordable & handcrafted
on Scrabble tiles! There are so many beautiful designs to choose from and even gift sets that include the necklaces as well.
Please take the time to look at his pieces and remember that you are helping a very sick little girl in the process.
Please go HERE to see these beautiful pieces. Thank you!

* If you do make a purchase, please put "FOR TUESDAY" in the comment section on your ETSY form so that Mark knows this is for the fundraiser.

Note: Due to the already high demand (thank you!), many people have told me they go to purchase something and it says sold out. If this is the case, scroll to the very bottom of the page and select contact seller and let him know what you want. He will email you back and make sure you get it!

It's All About Tuesday

Tuesday was admitted back into the hospital yesterday to start her 5th (of 6) rounds of chemo. Her mom is asking for prayers. Make sure you go over and let them know you are saying prayers for Little Tuesday!

Also, Debi at Who Says Eight is Enough Gives Back is sponsoring a fund raiser for Tuesday. Here is what she has posted on her blog, I have also added a button on the right bar of my blog to place you order.

Her blog reads as follows:

From today, October 20th, until November 17th I will be hosting a Discovery Toy party to benefit little Tuesday's fight against Neuroblastoma. Please take some time to view her family's blog, Go Blog Yourself, so that you understand why I felt compelled to help them out.
Then, please use this link to view all the great things that Discovery Toys has to offer:
DISCOVERY TOYS
Please DO NOT place your order online.
If you do, the purchases will NOT be credited to this party :(I have attached a copy of the order form here and all you have to do is click on it to increase the size and then save it to your computer. Then, you can fill it out and then send your order form to Barb (from Tale of Two Twinkies, she is a DT consultant).
This is her business email address: dtoys_barb@comcast.net
Barb will then add the shipping costs and taxes if applicable. She will also work out how you are paying. You can either pay her direct via credit card, or you can send your payments to me through Paypal or Revolution Money Exchange. Might I also suggest that you combine orders with friends, as the shipping tends to be a bit high due to the fact that everything is being shipped separately and not to our hostess, Miss Tuesday.
Please feel free to email Barb or I with any questions. (my email address is on my profile)
Now, on to the fun stuff....Discovery Toys has some really GREAT educational toys! And, I would personally like to suggest a few items that I have bought in the past.
My ALL-TIME FAVORITE items I have bought:
Sounds Like Fun CD Item #1850 $12.99
I have had this CD since David was a baby. I have played it every single night in my kids' rooms when they go to bed since 1995. I can sing the songs forward & backward & in my sleep, but I will be the first to tell you that EVERY one of my kids has learned phonics from this CD by the time they were 3yrs old, known their days of the week, months of the year and even learned Spanish. And, I am VERY proud to say that both Emma & Will can sing the phonics song and count to 100 by tens!
If you buy nothing else, BUY this!
Hide Inside Item #1195 $24.99
I have had one of these for years and years. It is just great for babies from 2 months to 3 years old. Obviously, my babies always started out just chewing on the different textured toys, but as my kiddies get older, they play "find the____" , etc.
It's very versitle and machine washable.

Wiz Kidz Item #4246 $9.99
As many of you might be aware, I have homeschooled my kids and I bought these for a fun activity to play with them. It really requires them to use their imaginations and have fun at the same time. (it also would be a fun activity for car rides on long trips,or even as a conversation starter at the dinnr table)
We LOVE playing this!Obviously, there are MANY other items from Discovery Toys, but these are on the top of my MUST HAVE list.
PLEASE, have fun and try to remember why you are shopping.... Tuesday and her family.

Once the party is through, Tuesday's parents will get to pick out lots and lots of fabulous toys for their children for the holiday season, at no cost to them!
Wouldn't you love to be able to say that you helped to make their Christmas a little brighter?And, as an added bonus, one lucky person who makes a purchase will be randomly drawn to win a new copy of Facing The Giants. It's one of my favorite inspirational movies, whose message tells us that nothing is impossible with God.
It's message has changed my life and I truly believe that NOTHING is impossible with God on your side and Tuesday is living proof.

It's all about TUESDAY

Look at this beautiful, happy family! It is so great to see them all together! Outside of the hospital! Outside, enjoying themselves, as a family. A normal family! The Whitt Family, was able to get out and go to a "Miracle Party" with their own little miracle. Go to their blog and read all about it. While you are there, make sure to leave them a little message to let them know you are praying for Tuesday on Tuesday! They have a lot of great news there! Remember, I told you Tuesday is home from the hospital until her next round of Chemo on Sept 29th. At which time, if all goes right, they will only be out patient! Amazing!

Also, remember the auction we have for that amazing drawing.

And another way to give!! Laurie P of Cookie Lee is offering her profits of 2 of her items to the Whitt family. Go here for more details about both!
