2. You can help by Bidding!

Another way you can help us raise money for the Komen Foundation is to *bid on a project or card along the blog bounce(hop). YES! EVERY Single card/project along the blogs for boobies bounce is up for auction. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Your *Bid not only includes the card or project but shipping to your home as well. Please Note IF you want to bid, and live outside the U.S. we would request that you pay the difference of shipping charges between where you live and what it would cost to ship within the US. *See how to place a bid for more detailed instructions.
If you are the highest bidder 7 days after the first post date 8:00 p.m. mountain time then you WIN the card/project that you bid on. So for my project, bidding will end on June 9th!!!

3. You can help by Telling Your Friends

Help us spread the word about "blogs 4 boobies" the more people that know, the more money we can raise!!!


How to place a bid on my card/project

Step #1
Find the comment section of the blog that shows the "Blogs 4 Boobies" card or project that you want to buy. *Please note you may only bid on the card/project shown in the specific "Blogs 4 Boobies" post. *Any bids not placed on the correct post will be considered invalid.

Step #2
Once you are in the "Blogs 4 Boobies" comment section fill in the dollar and cents amount of what you are willing to pay for the card/project. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Remember your bid includes shipping as well as the card/or project. 100% of the money your bid will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation

Step #3
Along with the $ amount you are bidding, be sure to include your email address so that we can contact you when you win!!

Step #4
Watch and wait.

Once you have entered your bid/comment sit back and wait. If someone out bids you then you may bid again. Bidding will continue until 8:00 p.m. Mountain time 7 days after the first post. 
* Please note that the participating stampers/bloggers will probably re-post their Blogs 4 Boobies card/project on the during the week of bidding in June. When the blogger re-post their project then the bidding will continue on the NEWEST post and that comment section.

"What do I do once I place a bid"
Watch and Wait

The "Winner of the Auction" Will be the highest bid (that includes an email address)in the comment section of the MOST RECENT blogs 4 boobies post at the end of the silent auction. Please note that ALL cards/projects WILL BE REPOSTED seven days after their initial post. The auction will end at 8:00 p.m. Mountain Time seven days after the first post, so again the bidding on my post will end on 06/09/16!!

Things to keep in mind:
Near the end of the bidding you may not see bids as they come in. Most blog have a comment feature where the blogger must approve comments before they are published. So bid high. You might have the highest bid

Ok, now, you want to see what you will be bidding on?


I made a set of 4 cards that you can bid on today, and remember, the bids start at $5....but really, you know this is worth WAY MORE!! This set is called Sassy Cats, and is quite frankly, hilarious!


I've used the two main cat images twice, with different coloring. For both of the cards with the cat showing it's butt, the inside has a sentiment included. For the inside of the forward facing sassy cat, the inside is blank. 




So, now you need to go see what everyone else has made, but make sure to help us out with this great cause by bidding, spreading the word, and shopping!!

Thanks so much for your support, and have a great day!!
