Ok, something seems to be wrong, because there is no #16 in the actual items shown with pictures, and there is no hairy blanket shown either. #18 is supposed to be the hairy blanket, but it's showing up as the hair tool!

I'd like to bid on the hairy blanket, but am afraid to bid on #18, because I don't need a hair tool.

I guess we can continue to bid all the way through next Friday, and up our bids as the days progress? I've never done anything like this before.

Hum.... I definitely see # 16... the set of cards... Addibee even bid on it (thank you
)#17 is the hair tool, #18 is the Hairy Blankie.... Probably going to be this one:


Kitties looooove these hand made blankies! I am not 100% sure about the color yet that's why there is no picture yet...
Even though I bough it and donated it for the auction, I will be bidding on it too... I always wanted one of those blankies, and because they are handmade, they don't come by too often

Why can't you post a comment? Foreign members who win bids have to pay for shipping (the cheapest way available, of course...). The person who is donating the item will tell you how much after the auction is over

OK, Carolina - when I bid this morning, #17 was the notecards. Now it's #16? I noticed there was no #16 when I went to the site... and I thought it was strange. I don't want or need the hair tool either... sorry... not girly enough for it and I have very short hair.

When I bid, I said #17 and put "notecards" in parentheses, just to be sure!


I sure do like that blankie, too!! I think my boys might fight over it!

I know! It is pretty, isn't it! Amelia, Bear's mom, has one... She got one as a gift from ML... Kitties love these Blankies... they look sooooo soft!
You know this lady, Peggy, she hand-makes these blankies to sell, and whenever a cat from the blogosphere is in need (which is always), all the money from the sale is donated to that kitty. Pretty cool... The $$ from this one went to Jacky, plus the bids

Yeye you guys!!! Thank you so much!!!

Just one note so you can be found

Don't forget to put your emails or at least say you are TCS members!
I will give you instructions after the auction, but it is pretty simple - pay for the item on the paypal, send an email to ML, and voila! Receive the item!

Hugs to all, much love, and I can't thank you enough! You are an amazing bunch of people

I was hoping that it was ok to request a PM here rather than publish my email addy, so thanks, I do appreciate that!


Thank YOU for being so bighearted and for helping to get this going!

Thank you

I put a comment in there with all tcs members so far!

It helps too if everybody uses their TCS names (like you did)

We will get it all figured out, I am sure


This is so fun!
and................. there are some items in there that are just perfect for Secret Santa, don't you guys think? Hint hint

Addie,
Got a response - she had reserved #16 as I was going to add an item, but that was delayed and added in the end later. Even though the # changed, the results did not - she still has you as the notecards, and will keep it as so.

Look on the summary on the top of the page: It is correct, and it matches your name/Item. You are fine. If you need to bid again, just bid on the new numbers; sorry about that

Hi guys!
The auction is over, and we helped Jacky with $325


To the winners of the bids, here is what you need to do:
Go to Jacky's blog and make a donation for the amount of your bid via the Paypal button located on the side bar on the right.
Then email KC (kc at catblogosphere dot com), informing of your payment, (make sure to tell her the item #) and your item will be shipped at once! The best way to do this is just forwarding her the paypal receipt, this way she can get your shipping address already; this is what I usually do when I win
- She will need this info to send you the items


Thank you so much for participating, you guys are the best!


Here are the winners:

#6 Kitty Mini tote Bag $10 - Mary (CruiserMaiden)
#8 Box of Bodice Buster Books - $ 10 - TCS GoldyCat
#10 Book: Housecat Confidential - $15 - GingersMom
#16 Notecards - $ 10 - Adrien (Addiebee)
#17 Styling Tool - $ 30 - Bad Kitty 2001
#2 Black Bracelet Watch - $ 15 - Bad Kitty 2001
