I am listing today for my daughter Melanie.... She had wanted to participate in the Event this year, but last night her house burnt to the ground and she lost everything she owned, even her two cats. No one was home, Melanie was at work and the kids were with their grandmother, we are thankful that no one got hurt. Melanie had talked about this event and wanted to do a listing, but her items were lost in the fire. So I thought I would set up my site for her. Bonnie also has two blogs participating this year 566 & 567 and she has offered a doorprize so Melanie had something to offer you for stopping by.
Melanie's blog "Oh the Drama" is about her family, her animals and her cross stitching. A lot of the items she stitches are for The World of Charity Stitcher Yahoo Group. Bonnie is one of the quilters for the group and I just keep them in supplies.
just leave a comment to be entered.
Bonnie had giveaways for CSN Gift Cards on her Southern Style and Nanbon's Corner Blogs... stop by and enter those contests too...

Thanks for visiting..
I am amazed at how many of these wonderful bloggers have offered to send Mel a card of encouragement, A special Thank You to all of you... If any one would like to send a card to Mel, leave me a message and I will be happy to send you our address...

ReplyDeletePlease send my best wishes for your daughter and her family, and I am sorry about the loss of her furbabies.
ReplyDeleteWe had a house fire in June, but luckily it was contained to one room, no one was hurt, and we only lost a few "irreplaceables" everything else is replaceable. Even our cats were out.
I am keeping a good thought, adding prayers, lighting a candle, and sending out positive, and calming energy.
I would love to win a lavendar sachet, and please tell her or you can do it for her, visit me at #209.

Talk about inspiration amidst tragedy! I can't believe Melanie even found the time to get an OWOH together! I'm sorry to hear about the fire and loss of her little kittys. I'm glad it was when the rest of the family was not home though. I'll be thinking of them, hoping things get better quickly and that Melanie wins some grand OWOH's :)

Hi Sean,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to my blog, I really appreciate you stopping by. This is so lovely of you to do this for Melanie and for Bonnie to have a gift for your visitors. I will go over to Bonnie's blogs and leave a message for her too.
Would you please come back to my blog, #9 on the list and leave me another message with your email addy or if you scroll down my side bar, you will see my email link. I would like to talk to you about sending something along to Melanie anyway. I am still recovering after a house fire two years ago so I do understand how devastated she must be feeling, losing everything. But thankfully they were all away and not hurt or even there to visually see what was happening.
I am amazed your family can even think about being in OWOH right now! You are fantastic to be doing this after such a shock.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes smoothly as your daughter remakes her home and house-- and that OWOH brings you all many new friends!

If you would allow me to send her a card, just to know I am thinking of her, please email me at the addy below and send me a snail mail addy that I can send it to. Also, to you sir, thank you for serving in the military. I am an AF brat and there is not enough respect in the world to pass on to you. :)

Please forgive me for not getting here sooner...I feel so sorry she has had to go through this devastating loss(home and pets) and amazed that you continued OWOH for her despite this tragedy. What a fabulous parent you must be and I am humbled you did this so she could still be part of this event. I think rallying around someone, even a stranger, in need... be it with cards....supplies...monetary...shows just how amazing this art community truly is. I for one would love to be sent Melanie's address if you please. Please hug her with the knowledge that the hug is coming from many people!

Hi Dad, Melanie is very lucky to have you and her mom and the kids at this trying and sad time. My heart goes out to her at this time and she has my deepest sympathy. I have already entered her in my drawing 1st one and her name is still there for the second and will put your name in also for the second and so both have a chance to win the second drawing. Please go by my blog Blossoms Bloomers again for the peek at the second prize.

It was so nice to meet you Sean. Thank you for visiting with me today. Your daughter and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. Fire is such a taker of all things. I'm so sorry for the loss of her furbabies. The blessing is that she and her children were not at home. With support and help she can rebuild and it sounds as though she has a very strong support group behind her.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Thank you for stopping by my blog, on behalf of your daughter. I am so sorry for her loss of home, and her cats. How awful. I visited her blog, and it sounds like she has had a hell of a time thus far. I hope things get better for her and her family. I'm not good with cards, but perhaps she would enjoy a journal?
ReplyDeleteYou have done a fantastic service for your daughter. My heart goes out to her for losing her two cats. I would be crushed if that happened to me.

You are such a great father for hosting this for Melanie. If I were to happen to win, please give the sachet to Melanie. I survived a house fire in 1994 so I know the devastation and shock she is feeling right now. Despite the loss of her two fur babies, I am sure she is so thankful to still have her human family intact. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and your grandkids. I am so sorry for the loss of their beloved kitties.
ReplyDeleteI hope Melanie can get her blog going again soon. "Oh the Drama" will have a lot more to talk about now! It will be her therapy so I hope you encourage her to continue as soon as she's able. I pray for this to be put swiftly behind her and keep on keepin' on.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you for stopping by my blog ... I wanted to say how much I wish for things to be Ok after this fire and that it is so good to hear that everyone is safe.
I also wanted to ask if it is possible that the banner on this blog can be attributed the 101st Airbourne Division (Screaming Eagles)? I have an interest in the group from many years ago and wondered if that was the case.
I am wishing all the very best,

Forget the door prize. I think we all should send something to Melanie. I know I will be. At a time like this I just want you to know how we feel your pain. I remember reading about an artist that lost years of art journals in a fire. I cried for her, I couldn't comprehend loosing everything I had ever created. I know we can't replace her things. Maybe we could share our art to encourage Melanie to create again.

I cannot even imagine losing everything in a fire. I always think I should make a point to make a get up and go bag - like what would you take if you had a moment to react. But we tend to like to think that it won't happen - and then what if it happens when nobody is home! Horrible - please give your daughter my condolences. :(

I would like to offer your daughter one o my giveaway journals! I have three shown on my blog at: http://eat-sleep-create.blogspot.com/2011/02/one-world-one-heart-2011.html#comments. I was to choose one winner and I have already done that, so as soon as she picks which journal, I will contact you again with the remaining two to choose from!! I am so sorry to hear about the fire! I am glad no one was hurt, but I am sure there were many items that were priceless and can't be replaced-I can only imagine how that feels! I will be praying for her family!! Anyway, if you would send me an address and a first and second preference on the journals- I would love to send her one!!
