Neighborhood Christmas Party

We have some stuff that didnt sell at the boutique, so tomorrow morning at 9 am, we will have some tables set up at the christmas party. It's at the provo sunset stake center. We will be in the reliefe society room the whole time. Santa will be there too!

Boutique Samples!

Here is just a sneak peek at what is to come! You really won't want to miss these 1 of a kind crafts!

Would you like a picture frame?

How about one of the many baby quilts?

The Tinkerdoos (is that right?) made burp cloths and doll bibs!

How about a set of 9 beautiful Santa cards?

Remember, this is just a sample of what will be there! We have lots more donations coming and there will be lots of delicious treats!

Karaoke night #2

The last karaoke night was so much fun!
Join us for even more fun this Saturday night from 8:30 to 10:30 at Hogi Yogi.
There will be some kind of a drawing at 9:30. Im sure it will be something delicious!
Also just for coming, you will recieve a 20% off coupon for Teryaki Sticks and Hogi Yogi food and drinks!
See you there!

Change of Plans

There has been a change of plans with the Christmas boutique. As you know, we were going to have it at "The Center" but we recently found out that there will be a farmers market that very morning in downtown Provo! We will have our very own table set up with everything that we have made to sell!
If you have any questions or would like to help, call DeAnn Jenkins at 373-0244.

Bentley the Bear

My neighbor, Margo Smith, has a daughter who sells Avon. Avon has a charity bear. When Margo heard about Bunnie, she wanted to help. So we are now selling Bentley the Bear! We will have order forms at all of our fundraisers now. If you would like to buy one, he is $20 and $8 of it goes to Bunnie. He is very soft and cuddley. He would make a great Christmas present! Get your Bentley bear today!

Details

The boutique is going to be so exciting!
Lots of people have already donated stuff that they have made!
It's probably going to be held at "The Center" (the teen center) located on the corner of 500 north and Freedom ave.
Time: 10 am to 2 pm
Date: December 13th
I'll try and get some pictures up of some of the stuff that we will be selling.
Did I forget anything?
Yes.
Tomorrow night, Amy K. and I will be at the PHS performance of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dream Coat".
Brittany is the stage manager and she said that they can announce our booth during the intermission!
I have been told that they do an awesome job, so go check it out!!

Golf anyone?

Suzanne set up a whole golf tournament that took place on Saturday!
Here's what went on:
We sat at hole 12 of the sleepy ridge golf course all day.
When golfers came up, we would tell them Bunnie's story and ask for donations.
If they made any kind of a donation, they would be put in the drawing for gift cards from Magelby's, Supersonic Car Wash or Gear for Guys.
It went really great and we even got to drive our own golf carts!!
Thanks to everyone who donated!!
Special thanks to the businesses mentioned above!!

Christmas boutique

On December 13th we will be having a Christmas boutique!
We really need all the help we can get for this. If you want to make any thing to sell we would love it! It will also be a bake sale. So if you're good at making any kind of delicious dessert, let me know!!
Here are some items that we will be selling for sure:
Aprons
Quilts
Baby stuff
Christmas decorations
Jewelry

Hot wassail by the cup
Hot chocolate by the cup
Pies
The most delicious pumpkin roll ever
Bread and jam

We are also not sure of a location to have it at, so any ideas would really help us out!

Thanks!!

Tonight

Tonight was the Provo high choir concert. We just found out a few hours before that we could set up a donation booth. It was pretty hard to talk to people as they were coming out because it was so noisy, but we managed to raise some money. Thats money that she didn't have before!!
Thank you very much to:
Taylor Simpson
Bob Ririe
Dalas Johnson
and Rony and Tammy Harris for all of your donations!

xoxo, Amy

P.S. People have been asking if we can make a calander of events. Thats pretty hard to do becuase things will just pop up or they will not happen. But here are some things that you can look forward to!
1st, we will soon have a pay pal account set up on here!
2nd, were gonna get pictures on here!
3rd, Christmas boutique! I'll post later on about this with more detail for sure! For now you should just know that you should be really excited!!

We are on our way

We had our first fundraiser on Wednesday night! Boy was that wild. Everyone was very positive and happy to help. We had a list of people to say, "thank you" to, but it mysteriously got lost. So THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU to everyone who donated!
If you came that night, then you witnessed a miracle. If you didn't, I'll tell you about it.
Wednesday came. Katie and I were supposed to go to "The Corner" early to get everything organized. We were leaving our house when we got a phone call saying that the karaoke machine that we were supposed to be using broke. (Here comes the anxiety.) I quickly remember a childhood memory of the Bradford's having a karaoke machine that I was so jealous of. We ran to the Bradford's and they were so happy to let us use it! The machine didn't have a screen for the words to be displayed on, but we took it anyways. We arrive at Hogi Yogi and the boys at Yoasis started helping us set up. During this time, I was freaking out in the back of the building and trying to finish a sign that we had just remembered to make. All of a sudden, I got this huge feeling to go see what was going on up front. When I got up there, everyone was sitting around the karaoke machine looking quite scared. The karaoke machine was not going to work. So I went back to finish my sign. I went back up front 5 minutes later and everyone looked happy as a clam!
Here is what I know happened.
A man was on a date. He was sitting a couple tables away and overheard them talking about how it was not going to work.
I guess he turned to Katie and friends and said something like, "Hello, I am an angel sent from heaven."
Just kidding! It was probably more like, "Hello, my name is Mike Streeter. It just so happens that i own a karaoke buisness."
HOLY CRAP!
That was the fastest miracle that I have ever seen!
Mike offered to help us on 1 condition- that we attend his baptism on Sunday. (I'm not sure if he was serious or not, but I'll be there!)
He started making some phone calls to get like an amp or something like that.
During this time, Paul, the awesome manager at Hogi Yogi, was also making phone calls to the sound guy in charge there.
Then Mike and his date left.
Everyone started showing up.
The ukulele concert started and ended.
Mike came back with all his stuff.
Boys at Yoasis and Mike set up karaoke stuff. They even got the words to come on the tv!!
We hear lots of Hannah Montana and raise big bucks.
Over all, I would say it was a bug success!!

Thank you very much to everyone who is supporting us! I'm very sorry that I can't name all of you right now, but here are some people that we owe huge thank you's to:

Mike Streeter (Duh!)
The people at Hogi Yogi (For letting us have it there)
The Bradfords (For letting us borrow your karaoke machine)
Marcia and Dennis Wright (For letting us borrow your cd's)
Kallie Lundquist ( For also letting us borrow your cd's)
Barbara Wright (For Bringing the ukuleles)
Shelly Stubbs, Miki Allen and Mauri Farr (For showing up to play the ukuleles)

I know there are so many more, and I promise if I think of them, I'll write them down.
Also, I know this doesn't have to do with anything but I know it would make Bunnie happy to hear. Many of us have a good friend named Cameron Kidman. He got baptized this morning at age 19.
Congradulations to Mike and Cameron on their baptisms!!!

Thanks again to everyone!!
xoxo, Amy

It's on!

We are finally having our first karaoke night!!

Anyone and everyone is invited to come!

Where: The hogi yogi across the street from Provo high

When: Wednesday October, 15

Of course you get in for free. Then once you are in, a donation booth will be set up to donate even a dime if you feel like it.

Say you get hungry or you need a delicious "watermelon wave" while you are there watching a ukulele performance by Amy, Barbara and whoever the heck else feels like it. Don't worry! If you say you are with us, you get 20% off all ice cream and food! (Not including yoasis. But that stuff is really nasty anyway.)

Bring everyone you know and come prepared to party!!

xoxo, Amy

Love and Ice Cream

Last night the young women (and Bosley) gathered at Suzanne's beautiful home.
We told them about our idea to raise 25,000 dollars for Bunnie!
I was a little nervous to see how the girls would react when we told them, but i dont know why i was nervous.
Of course it went over great!!
Everyone was so excited and they gave so many ideas of how we could raise money!
Infact, just today a bunch of us went and talked to the principal at PHS.
I was a little bit nervous again.
But he was very nice and extremely supportive! He told us that the student government was looking for something just like that! He even took us down to meet with the teacher that was over it, who was also excited and supportive.
They are just finishing up a fundraiser that they are doing for Stephanie and Christian, so starting November we will have donation jars going around Provo high!
A couple days ago I went to talk to Barbara to see if she would do a ukulele concert with me on one of the karaoke nights. She just got her tooth pulled and she told me not to talk to her :)
So I went over the next day to ask her again.
I told her and she just laughed real hard!
But she loves Bunnie just as much as anyone else so she said yes!!!
(If you have ever been to one of our famous ukulele concerts you know that you are in for a treat! Hopefully...)
Maybe one of these days we'll actually get some real dates planned.
Speaking of which, im off to talk to hogi yogi!
Thanks to everyone for helping out!!

xoxo, Amy

P.S. Brittany said that she would help me out with this blog, so soon it will be beautiful!!

Munnie for Bunnie

Hey everyone!
Suzanne, Katie and I came up with an idea to start a blog to keep everyone updated on the fundraisers we will be doing for Bunnie. (There will be lots!)
If you want to keep up on Bunnie's treatments, just go to: http://bunniebloggin.blogspot.com/.
Let me give you some background behind these fundraisers.
Bunnie came to church about 2 weeks ago and told us the news about her cancer.
Everyone cried.
Then we all said, "What can we do to help her?"
Well the young women made cute scrapbook pages to show our love for her.
Barbara made a quilt for her.
We gave her baskets of love.
But we just want to do more!
So we will.
Were going to help pay for her treatments!
Katie asked her friends at Hogi Yogi if we could have a karaoke night there.
All the weekends are booked until the middle of November.
We will plan a night on a friday or saturday then, but maybe for now we could do it like for Y.W. one night?
You guys let me know and i'll have Katie check if we can even do that.
If you didnt know, the color for non-hodgkins lymphoma is lime green!
We want to make lime green t-shirts and bracelets to sell at the fundraisers.
If any one has any more ideas just let me know.
We love you Bunnie!

xoxo Amy
