BYU Football Up For Auction!

Our Family along with many bloggers have joined together to hold silent auctions on our blogs to raise money in behalf of my cousin Stephanie and her husband Christian Nielsen, who are survivors but badly injured in a plane crash a little over a week ago. They are in need of our prayers and financial support. Their medical bills are said to reach millions. To learn more about their family and their story and how you can help go here.
We have a Football, signed by BYU's Head Football Coach Bronco Mendenhall and his 2008 - 2009 Players... Up For Auction!
(Ranked 16th in the Nation... so far)


The rules for this auction are as follows:
1. My auction will be open on Friday, August 29th and will end @ 10:00 pm on Friday, September 5th, 2008.

2. To make a bid you must go to the comment section and look at the current bid and then increase the bid in dollar increments. Please include your email in your bid so I can easily contact you.

The only thing that I am aware of that has people linking to other auctions is designmom. Other than that I have been doing the same as you. Emailing everyone I know, texting, and asking people to link me to their blog!!! Before this not many looked at my blog except for close friends, but for this I want everyone to look! I will definitely link yours to my blog. Let me know if you can think of anymore ideas.
