What I am about to tell you is going to make you go completely mushy for your fellow internets. Seriously. When I heard about it I gasped out loud and did one of those Hercules claps. An anonymous blogger is going to match the funds we raise in this season of U.T.E.R.U.S. fundraising. Yes, you read that correctly: MATCH the funds! As in every dollar we bring in by direct donation, by purchases from Etsy, Ebay and any donated ad revenue this blogger will match us. Has your mind been blown? Our community is seriously amazing.
So now I am getting into tel-a-thon mode and giving ou a giant Jerry Lewis nudge: Let’s give!
Here is how you can be a part of this:
1) Donate directly to the U.T.E.R.U.S. paypal fund (there is a link in the right sidebar for you to click on)
2) Donate an item to be auctioned off on ebay, or bid on an item on ebay
3) Donate an item to be sold on etsy, or buy an item on etsy
(we need LOTS more donations for etsy!)
4) Sell ad space on your blog and donate
5) Sell a crafty service you have (web design, photography, lessons in being awesome) and donate
So look in your garage or forgotten closets this weekend for items to donate and let’s get busy!

I just read this at Mel’s and got teary. I’m always moved by others’ generosity, and this is just astounding. Must go buy or sell stuff. Not quite sure yet. Perhaps both.
I squealed when I heard! And jumped up and down. People are so awesome.
I’m still giggling over how exciting this is.
That is so utterly awesome. I wish I had the money to help out =( maybe next season
Very cool!
As for direct donations, do you mean the button that goes to Calliope’s IVF fund? When I click the UTERUS link I get the original stirrup queens post. Not sure which to use – yes, I am lame, I fully admit it!
