So, …that was fun!

Heres the dealio. I still have a bunch more stuff to list.
 Instead of having everyone check in throughout the day- let's say you meet me here tomorrow, Wednesday at 10 a.m.
and all the remaining items will be listed (it's all very very good!).

You guys. I just love you to pieces. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

xoxo

    I echo the thank you. I would be glued to my computer (therefore neglecting my children) watching for more updates. This will be better for all mankind!!

    I cannot believe how fast everything went!!! there were some items that i wanted- but i hesitated too long. i was happy to find that their shops were listed and I can order from their shops- it would be cool if people wanted to donate additional items from their etsy shops (or even a portion of their sales during the next 2 days)- i have more nie cards for sale at my etsy shop with 100% of sales going to the nie nie benefit. and i am thinking about donating a portion of my sales for the rest of the month (or possibly october- stephanie’s favorite holiday is in october) to the nie nie benefit as well- i just need to get around to putting that additional info in my shop. I don’t know if other people are doing the same- i know that there is a place on the benefit site that mentions all of the etsy shops- maybe that would be enough or maybe it could be mentioned on your shop… i really want to get an item that i missed at the esty sale-and i will probably buy it regardless of the benefit- but it would be cool to help out the cause as well.

    Thank you so much for doing all of this, Morgan. It’s got to be a ton of work, and we’re just sitting back doing the shopping. I can’t even begin to imagine all the emails and shipping and errands this has created for you! Hugs and Thanks and prayers for you, too. xoxo

    Thank you, Morgan! I, too, hesitated for a second too long on many items and missed out big time! I will be back tomorrow, though. I can’t thank you enough for giving all of us this wonderful opportunity to help the Nielsons. So many people want to help however we can, but just didn’t know how. You are truly amazing for doing all of this!

    Maybe you could put up a preview of the items you will list tomorrow, so we can take time browsing all of the nice items, and then when 10am hits…no holds barred!

    Morgan, this was such a success. It’s such a beautiful thing when so many people in Blogland want to participate in helping Nie Nie. A friend of mine gave me the link to the Martha Stewart post about blogging:
    http://www.themarthablog.com/2008/09/how-to-create-your-own-blog-let-us-show-you.html#comment-21227
    I thought, wouldn’t it be lovely if someone like Martha Stewart got the word out about the fund raising events to help this family. So, I left a comment with the link to your blog and my post which writes about the Nie Nie Fundraiser on Etsy. I hope one of her staff reads the comment and learns more about the cause.

    Morgan…Please picture in your mind a ten minute standing ovation!! You deserve it…Also, does anyone know if you have an item once it’s placed in your cart, or can it disappear while you’re looking at other items? I’ll check back on these comments for an answer…Thanks, Katie

    morgan i hope you’re getting some sleep right now! and i just wanted to say that i appreciate that you didn’t make it an auction. i think it’s great to auction some items, but by simply selling the others, it’s now an option for me to participate (if i can make up my mind quickly that is).
    take the doll for an example… the bidding in almost $500 right now. so glad to see that kind of money being raised for the family, but i could not even consider something on that level.
    i think your mix of sale and auction is just right! and again, thanks for all your hard work!

    If you put the item in your cart and then continue shopping, the item will be gone. You have to purchase right then if you really want something.
    Hope this helps.

    Just one more shout out from the peanut gallery- You are AWESOME for all the work and effort you have put into this!! I wish that I was local so I could help you in some way.
    I’m so amazed at how quickly everything sold! I wasn’t quick enough to get anything today but I’ll be prompt tomorrow! Hooray for all the good people of the internet who want to help this sweet family!!

    Holy Smokes that was incredible! Sadly I have a job that takes me away from the computer so I missed everything, and probably will tomorrow as well. But I am elated to see such an incredible response to this event. I am floored! And really, you deserve so much for all your time and energy in listing all the items. You are incredible.

    Question: For those of us who donated an item to be sold, will we get confirmation that it sold? I sent in an item and I wasn’t able to see it listed today because by the time I got online, there were only 3 items left, so I have no idea if it sold or not or was even listed. Thanks!

    Here’s the link to the store:
    http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6167643
    Then look on the right (gray area) and click on “160 Sales” this will show all the sales from today.

    What a wonderful response…..and you are so wonderful for putting this all together and bringing us all together to help NieNie. I think you need to call the Relief Society to come help you pack up all those boxes!! I’m hoping I can get online tomorrow to buy something and I’m thrilled to pieces that my little altered journal sold:)

    I just heard about the sale. Sorry I’m a bit slow …been a bit distracted due to hurricane Ike out here in Texas! I’m a little late for this one but let me know if you decide to have another sale. I have some handmade, hemstiched and crocheted handkerchiefs and 3 packages of baby announcement note cards that I would love to donate. Just send me your address and I will mail them off to you a.s.a.p.!!!

    Morgan,
    Got to tell you- you are beautiful! I mean it…really one of the most beautiful people I know. I feel blessed to call you my friend. Your daughter and son are so blessed to have you as their mother. What an example you are to all of us. When there is tragedy, when there is sadness- do something!..Act!..Make a difference! You are such a doer and the world is a better place because of it.
    Thank you, thank you!!
