The {21] Purge: Day 21...You've Come A Long Way Baby!!!

 

Today is Day 21 of The {21} Purge!  Woo Hoo!  Today we cross the finish line and  Rhonna's FINAL message is:  "ok. now that we are at the end of the game....I get a little emotional!  Isn't it crazy how you look back & it seemed like we started just yesterday?  see? Now, each time you do another 21 Challenge, it will get easier. With each step...you will become even more amazing! You will become the kind of person you want to be."

 

Wow...there were some days that I didn't think this day would ever come ;)  Looking back over this {21} Challenge and the past three weeks...all's I can say to myself is...You've Come A Long Way Baby!!!

Today was my final day of PURGING and I plowed through the process of expelling all my RUBBER.  After sorting and bagging up all the sets that will be added to yesterday's sale, I found myself with all these EMPTY kit cases...woo hoo!

For now they will go into storage until I'm sure that I will not need them for sorting some of my other craft supplies.  Check out all the stamps that I've bagged up for sale...all ready to go as soon as the bids are accepted this Wed., Dec. 1st :}

Oh yeah...I added purged another 18 sets today to add to the sale.  Here is a reminder of the guidelines:

There are over 50 sets of stamps (between these two posts) for you all to place bids on between now and Wednesday, December 1st (7:00pm EST).  Below are the final stamp sets, along with a description and a STARTING BID amount (minimum bid required to purchase the set). 

Shipping will be $4.95 per set for priority mail shipping (sorry but shipping is limited to stateside only ;).  However, I can fit two sets into each envelope for each second set of stamps ships for FREE ;)  Simply:

1. Become a subscriber (a must) to this blog by filling out the email subscription form on the sidebar of my blog...you know...at The Love Shack! (Please note that your email addresses are not shared with anyone else and you will not receive any spam from this blog).
2. Leave a comment with a description of and your BID amount for, each set.
3. Monitor the comments between now and the closing date (Wed. Dec. 1st) to be sure that you have the highest bid for any sets that YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE ;)
4. Include your contact email in your bid comments so that I may contact you directly to award the BID and to send you a PayPal invoice for the BID amount and required shipping.
5. Once PayPal confirms your payment, then I will mail the stamp sets and notify you accordingly...WHICH means you'll have them in plenty of time for any HOLIDAY stamping you'd like to do...ho ho ho!

REMEMBER all proceeds will be going to charity and PLEASE help me make this a success and a WIN-WIN-WIN situation for You-Me-and THE MERCY HOUSE!  If you have any questions, please just leave a comment and I will get back to you right away.  PLEASE note that MOST of these sets are limited edition sets from Stamping Up and that they are no longer available.  ALSO that I have filled in the plastic cases and bags with some additional, coordinating stamps because I don't like empty space in my boxes/bags and because I'm nice like that ;) Here's the sets: (note you can click on the image to have a larger photo pop open in another window ;)

Well that's all folks ;)  I'm plum turd and ready for some rest.  I'm putting it out there to the universe and asking for a most benevolent outcome for this sale and that we raise as much as possible to aid The Mercy Maternity House in their mission to provide alternative options for pregnant girls living in the streets of Kenya. The Mercy House will aid them in nutrition, housing, prenatal care, counseling, Biblical teaching and job skills for sustainable living.  Visionaries, Kristen and her husband of 15 years, Terrell, are answering God's call and they covet our prayers and support in this great endeavor.

Congratulations! You have worked really hard! I have many stamps as well that I am not using but I still can't part with them yet. What a good idea donating the profit to charity. You are so inspiring! Joan

Not a problem Barb...I'll add these to you order. Please send me an email with your PayPal address and snail mail so that I can invoice you for all the sets and the shipping. Thanks a bunch, fondly, Roberta

I'll bid $6.00 on the Bon Voyage set (hint hint someone we know would be able to use them for her business) I think I'll gift them for Xmas!

THANKS CORTNEY for posting about my Rubber Sale and for bidding as well. I'm not going to extend this sale...WHAT I will do is offer another sale so that I can get the bids closed and mail out these Rubber awards ;)

[Cortney Lyon]

Yippy! Congratulations on completing the 21 Day Purge! I would love to bid on the Penguin Paradise stamp set for 5.00. You can't beat that price! I'm glad it will go to a good charity too!

[Heather]

Congratulations Roberta! I bet you feel great! I will take a look at the stamps. Hope your sale is successful. It sounds like a great cause.

Done....great Job.....I really don't think you're going to stop now that you have done this for 21 days. The future purges may not be on the same scale but I think you had already started looking at things differently. Your stamps are my post for today so I hope you get a good response. Sounds like a very good cause. Have a great day.

[Deb]

Wow...can't belive all the stamps...wish I had the room for more! Good luck, hope they will sell and go for a great cause!
