Pink Petals for Pink Saturday

I meant to add a post to the mr. linky for Pink Saturday last weekend,
but we were out of town and I didn't have internet access.

Here are a few of my favorite photos this season (so far!) of purple coneflowers,
focusing on the beauty of the petals.

Make sure to check out an auction for a family in need HERE too.

 I'm linking up with Beverly!

Wear Red in Memory of Elijah Rainbow Fisher

Red is Elijah Rainbow's (yes, Rainbow! How awesome is that!) mom's (Lauren) favorite color.
Such a strong, powerful, amazing color.
The first color in a rainbow for a reason.

Please feel free to add this wonderful “Wear Red” Facebook cover photo to your Facebook page to show your support, and spread the word.


Be the first to add an auction.

I will be adding an auction of things in a few days, so make sure and check back!
If you would like to contribute something to my auction, please contact me at,

All the money received will go to the Fisher family.

Thanks to all who have been helping the Fisher family.
Your donations are very much appreciated.
The donation page has been down some.

Lauren’s blog is back up, by the way, and she has been blogging about what she is going through.
Take a moment to say a prayer for their family.
Stop over on her blog and write something comforting to her.
Wear Red--in memory of baby boy, Elijah, who has changed so many lives.

Rest In Peace, Elijah Rainbow.

Please Help! Elijah Rainbow Fisher-Donations/Auctions

This one is a tough one to write.

But I would like to get the ball rolling for a family in need.

A sweet, 6-month-old baby boy died Saturday.

Elijah Rainbow Fisher.

The exact details of his death are not known at this time.

I am a mom and I feel called by God to help the Fisher family.

I only knew Lauren, Elijah’s mother, briefly through reading her blog (which is currently down) “Sparkling Adventures”.

She is an amazing mom to know through blogland.

And has inspired me along my path in life.

Today, I’m celebrating the day my own nephew entered heaven.

June 26, 2004

He died at the tender age of 8, of natural causes.

8 years later . . .

I am in a place to help.

God is so smart (love this new quote from a friend).

Today, I would like to help relieve any financial burden for the Fishers.

First, you can donate.

Second, an auction would be amazing to help raise funds.

I need your help.

If you are willing to donate an item/s (art, crafts, services, etc.) and post them on your blog, that would be awesome!

In that post, list what country you are in and if you are willing to ship overseas or not.
Also, put somewhere in the post that the winner will need to donate the final amount HERE, along with their name.

Make sure to list when you will end your auction as well.
Please confirm that the winner has indeed donated the amount before promptly shipping the package out.

If you do not have a blog, but would like to donate item/s, I will be posting some items to auction off here as well.

Thanks so much for your help in advance!
