O-M-G! I can’t believe it! You have reacted beautifully to my post from last night. No sooner had I posted, and the top-ups came pouring in. We have made it!!! Thanks and congratulations to all of you. You deserve that kiss! And confession: I got my calculations wrong last night (not an accountant, as…
Good evening, all. I am happy to say that all my packages have now been packed. I took two more runs to the post office today, and there is one more package to be posted tomorrow. Another package will be sent from the UK tomorrow, too. Which will finish all shipments and conclude the fundraiser.…
Good evening. I feel a bit Guylty guilty for not having been back with more updates yet. I have spent pretty much all of the last three days organising, picking and packing the orders. At this stage, all bar *one* eBay shipments have been dispatched to the buyers and they should have received notifications via…
Good morning. My phone dinged and dinged like a Swiss cow galloping down the Alps last night 😂. You cleaned out the fixed-price sale almost completely. But never fear, I had put half the items aside in order to restock this morning. Here is the new, updated list of what is available: Photo Holders 4…
First of all: Thank you for your participation in the just-finished fundraiser auctions. You bid and bought so generously, and provided a thriller for some of the items in the last minute. Moreover, many of you buyers have already paid the invoice, so huge thanks for that. I have already done a quick calculation, and…
The god of fundraisers has heard my pleas. Or rather: *You* have heard my pleas. I woke up this morning to the hoped-for breakthrough. Phew. So glad, because that means I didn’t make this edit for nothing. 😉 So, we’ve broken the €2,000 barrier. That is £1690.46 or US$2052.51. Wonderful news. We are now in…
Hello hello. After a lovely long day away from the computer, I am back with my evening update. Guess what? We are now well into the last 24 hours of the 2022 auctions! In fact there are only about 17 hours left until the auctions end tomorrow afternoon. I was away from the internet for most…
We are not done yet with the auctions, but for those who are eagerly awaiting the fixed-price sale, here is the low-down. As in the last couple of years, we are following up the auctions with a fixed-price sale of fan items on Etsy/Pattern. You will find it at scissorsandsmiles.patternbyetsy.com and the website will look…
As promised, I am back with another update before I turn in for the night. I won’t make it long, but just to say that bids moved a good bit over the course of the day and we are sooooo close to breakthrough #2. There’s about €100 to it, so theoretically, with 34 auctions on…
Good morning, RA world! Just a quick update this morning. While I was sleeping, things developed just the way I thought it would. After the breakthrough last night, bids kept coming in and the total of all received bids so far have moved on. The great news is: All items have now received a bid!…
