Her Bad Auction is the sort of thing I love: gambling combined with shopping and money going to a worthy cause (raffling counts as gambling, doesn’t it?).
I tell you that’s the perfect combination, all it lacks is a reason to get dressed up in fancy clothes. Mind you, I do blog wearing a tiara so I guess I was already half-way there.
The draws are this weekend and if I win something from here, here or here (just to name a few of the glorious places who have donated goods, such amazing “I want that now” kind of goods), well if I win something, I’ll be one happy motherbumper.
The fund raising is for a great reason: Tanner who is an amazing boy (and nephew of Her Bad Mother) has Muscular Dystrophy. You can read more about this fund raiser here and a really cool letter writing idea here.
So if you have a few bucks go check out the items – tickets are either $1 or $5 and it’s a fantastic cause.
You too with the tiara and the gambling compulsion?
The banker was all “why don’t you just donate the money to MD (so I get the tax receipt) and buy the items you want so you know you will get them”
All the man thinks about is his frickin tax receipts.So I explained to him the competitive nature of the raffle. The bragging rights to be gained by winning. The trash talking mommybloggers…. I think he is starting to get the picture.
i can already tell this is going to be bad. i already put in a bid for a bunch of things…but i’m considering going back and bidding some more. it’s seriously an addiction.
at least it’s for a good cause!
Even though I need me some winning items, I’d be happy if a bazillion raffle tickets are sold.
Yay for HBA … its going really, really well by the way!!!
I’m all about tiaras. And gambling. And liquor.
You get the picture. Kind of an over-the-hill, baby-toting Paris Hilton, but cooler.
