Together as a Team we are unified in reaching out to others by creating Treasuries, posting in our personal blogs and shop announcements, sharing personal stories, comfort and knowledge to those in need...this is the core of what EPE stands for"!- Quoted from Team page.

Hey Family!

Remember back in February I blogged about Brenda's auction for one of my old "Find Motivation"posts? If you don't remember, you can read the original link here:

I 've been so busy lately, I forgot I am a registered participant in this auction! so I have to come back from my vacation from Etsy a lot earlier than I planned LOL. But it's worth it.

Brenda Novak is the amazing writing talent behind such books as " Every Waking Moment" "Cold Feet" "Still Water Trilogy" and her latest editions " The Last Stand Series"
You can learn more about Brenda and her amazing story here: How is all started Brenda Novaks Journey.

The 5th Annual On-line Auction to Benefit Diabetes Research was started in 2005 and has been a huge success by raising over $250.000 just last year alone. The auction started May 1st and runs through the month. Brenda's assistant, Lauren Hawkeye contacted myself and 30 other awesome Etsy Artist to participate in this event. We can be found here under Lauren Hawkeye's Treasure > Treasure Chest (Sponsored by Etsy Artisans) So far things are off to a great start as bids are coming in daily.

These are the items I have donated to the auction:

The Journey Necklace

Intrigue

XOXO-Hugs and Kisses

This event is deeply personal to me as my grandmother passed away in March 2007 from her battle with Diabetes. I know I would be making her proud by participating and bringing attention to anything that would help find better treatments and a cure for this disease.

For more information about the auction and/ or Brenda visit Welcome to Brenda's Online Auction link, or check out http://www.brendanovak.com/auction_abouttheauction.shtml & www.eharlequin.com

Brenda Novak’s 5th Annual Online Auction for Diabetes Research

Ms. Lauren Hawkeye, Assistant to Brenda Novak, A New York Times Bestselling Romantic Suspense Author, contacted me on January 2,2009. Lauren was looking for some great creations for this year’s auction. She happended to be searching on Etsy when she found my shop and wondered if I would be willing to donate some of my items to the auction! Are you kidding?? Of course I said YES!

Brenda Novak is has written such books as " Every Waking Moment" "Cold Feet" "Still Water Trilogy" and her latest editions " The Last Stand Series"

I personally am inspired by this awesome writer as I read her biography. Can you imagine catching your child's day care provider drugging your children with cough syrup and Tylenol to keep them sleeping while you worked?? Brenda writes that was a huge part of the motivation for her to work from home and behind her now amazing career. Please read more about her amazing story here: How is all started Brenda Novaks Journey.
