Giving Tuesday Mystery Box Auction

1 Dec

Happy December and Happy Giving Tuesday!!  I have a few mystery boxes to destash today and wanted to change things up for Giving Tuesday! I have THREE mystery boxes available and each box contains lightly used or new crafty products valued over $600 and five handmade cards from me! Each box also contains at least one sold out STAMPtember set, one sold out My Monthly Hero kit, and several brand new items still in the original packaging! This is a little sneak peek of some of the items you might find in a box though you can see that those hidden stacks fill the entire box.

I am going to offer each box as an auction item starting at $150. A VERY kind and generous crafter who has purchased destash boxes from me in the past has offered to match the final donations and cover shipping for each box! Total donations will be split between World Central Kitchen and our local wildlife rescue! ️

Here’s the details on how to bid:

  • Leave a comment with your bid. I will do my best to keep this post updated at the top with the current highest bids.  I am running this auction concurrently on my instagram so you can also check it out over there!
  • Bidding is open until 11:59pm EST, Thursday, December 3rd.
  • I will message the winners on Friday and they will have 24 hours to make their payment via PayPal before I move to the next in line.
  • I know that this year has been tough on many of us so if you are unable to bid, please leave a comment letting me know what you’re thankful for this year. I will choose two commenters and send them a little package from me! ️
  • This auction is open worldwide though international buyers are responsible for shipping over $25.

Good luck and happy bidding!!

    Hi, Jessica – I have been spending too much lately, so I will not be bidding, but I am very thankful for my health and for having a job. I’m a teacher and it sure isn’t easy at this time of hybrid / online instruction, but we’re making lemonade of lemons the best we can! I loved that little “A Christmas like no Otter” teaser you showed… I adore LF stamps. But I have a lot…. I think what you are doing is TERRIFIC and I love WCKitchen! What an amazing organization.
    Wishing you the happiest of holidays!

    I think it’s wonderful that you’re doing this, appreciate your generosity and your talents.
    I’m thankful that my family is in good health, and thankful for FaceTime and Zoom!
    Happy and healthy holidays

    This is such a wonderful generous offer, Jess! I will not be bidding as I lost my husband & am now on SS so watch my pennies. I love all your blog posts & have really learned a lot from you. I am so thankful that I have my health & that I have a home & wonderful family, friends & neighbors during this “stay at home” time. So glad to have the internet to keep in touch with all but sure miss visiting all my family. I pray that you & yours enjoy a blessed rest of 2020 & & a happy new year!

    Jess – This is such an awesome idea and so very generous of you! Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent with all of us….your videos are the best! I am so very thankful for my family and friends. I am glad to be able to keep in touch with my children and grandchildren via FaceTime, but I sure do miss spending time with them in person! And I absolutely cannot wait to give them all a HUGE hug! I would like to take a moment to wish you and your family a blessed holiday season and a very happy, healthy 2021!

    Hi Jessica, So very thoughtful and generous of you to donate to people who may be going hungry and to local wildlife. I am very thankful to Four Paws Int’l and Cher for rescuing Kaavan (the loneliest elephant) and their continued champagnes to rescue animals all around the world. It thrills me to know that champions like them exist and people who have compassion to help the downtrodden. My biggest wish is that all people as well as animals are respected and treated with dignity. May we all be safe and healthy in the coming days ahead.

    $160. I’m thankful for my family, my health, my job and for people like you who support their community, especially during this difficult season. Thank you 🙏🏻

    I would like to bid $150.00 for one of the boxes. I think I understand this correctly, that you have three boxes available, starting at $150.00 each. Anyway, I am very thankful this year for the continued good health of all of my family and friends. And thankful that even though I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September, it is a very early stage and I have a very good prognosis because of that. So I’m especially thankful that I got my mammogram in August, even though I really didn’t want to!

    Hi Jess, I will not be bidding. I am thankful for my mother (she is 95). I am her fulltime caregiver. I have been on this journey with her for 13 years. There has been many health issues. She is the strongest person that I know. I treasure our time together every single day. God bless you.

Starting off 2021 with a clean and simple card featuring one of my very favorite companies! 🖤💛🖤 I love the new Lovely Letters alphabet set from @concordand9th and how nicely it pairs with the other alpha sets to create this card!

So earlier today I posted the most liked alcohol ink work from 2020 and here are the cards you liked the most this year! ❤️ There are definitely some surprises in there 😂 but it’s fun to see what you liked best!

It’s always fun to look back and see what posts you liked most over the year. And often I’m surprised by what is or is not liked. I’ll be sharing my annual favorite cards series in a few days but I thought I’d share your favorite 2020 alcohol ink posts and cards today! ❤️ Surprisingly alcohol ink art and ink-blending are more liked than most of my cards 😅 so I thought I’d share them separately! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 It does make me wonder if I should change a bit of my art focus for next year! 😂🤔😜 ••• #alcoholink #alcoholinkart #alcoholinkartist #fluidart

It’s always fun to check out my @yearofcolour at the end of December and see how it’s changed from the previous year (swipe to see 2019)! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Apparently I’m getting a little bolder in my color choices and still avoid greens and browns as much as possible. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️😂 #yearofcolour #yearofcolour2020
