Queensland Flood Relief Raffle

by Nova on January 17, 2011

You’d have to have been living under a rock not to have been aware of the floods in Queensland. Yesterday I watched footage on the tv of people I know in their shell of a home in Brisbane after the floods receded. Heartbreaking.

& so the BIG clean up begins. Volunteers are flooding in, it’s incredible. What is also much needed is money & oodles of it! Let’s see if we can all dig a little deeper and maybe you’ll win something along the way :) Yay! Toni has the master list of auctions and raffles up on her blog now and it’s being updated daily at 9am.

I am raffling a Dr Seuss pillow/cushion ~ a mini version of the wall hanging I made for the modern relief raffle.

& here’s a taster of little surprises under the bunting . ..

How to Enter this Raffle – Please Read

This raffle is open to everyone no matter where you live. *Postage will be included in your prize.
To enter this raffle please donate $5 (Australian) to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal.
Upon donation you will receive a receipt number to pop in a comment on this post. Please also make sure I can contact you via your comment.
You may enter as many times as you like but each entry / donation must have a separate receipt number.
A winner will be randomly selected on Wednesday 26th Jan and announced here. I will also contact the winner via email.

Please only comment on this post if you are entering the raffle so it doesn’t mess up the numbered comments for the draw ~ :) I’d really appreciate that, thanks so much!

*Please note, due to postage, we will only be sending the pillow/cushion cover. It fits an 18 inch pillow / cushion form.

Please help spread the word!
Thanks so much for your Support :) x

Receipt #40343205898 (via direct deposit)
Thanks for the prompt to donate. I haven’t much money but I gave what I could. And that pillow’s a great incentive :-).

Yours,
Simone.

2 Simone Despoges January 20, 2011 at 9:44 am: I didn’t realise donating more money would count for more entries: I donated $20.00 also.
So, this is comment #2 for Simone.
