Auction 5 – SOLD!
Regretsy Cut Out Cat earrings – sold for the sphincter clenching price of $71.00!
(Earrings by Sugar Lilac Jewellery on Etsy)
The auctions have closed, and I want to thank all of you for your amazingly generous bids.
These auctions have raised $461.50 for The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. I’ve just donated it to Drea’s fund, bringing her total to $1,791.50.
Drea hopes to get to $2500, and I’d like to help her get there. So I’m donating ALL royalties for books purchased through the link on the left, and Amazon will kick in an additional 5%.
I’m going to keep donating royalties until Drea reaches $2500, or until the Relay on June 11. So far, we’ve raised over $170 with Amazon, so I really think we can close the gap by then.
Thank you all for your support. This is my 5th year as a cancer survivor, and I want to help other people have anniversaries like this too.
If you want to donate directly to Drea’s fund, use this link.

Bought the book through your link when the auctions first went up. I couldn’t afford to bid, but I could do that. It came on Friday, and I’ve been enjoying it so much all weekend. As the sister of the survivor of a rare cancer, I want to say thank you for doing this.
And for all the fucking whimsy we can handle!

Cancer is such a bitch , it takes bigger bitches to fight it, so big ups to the spirit exemplified here.
Even if I wasn’t a huge cat lover,I’d dig these adorable earrings to pieces.

Regretsy is so great, and this fact just keeps being reaffirmed.

I just bought the book! I saw it at an airport Barnes and Noble but I wanted to wait to buy it from Amazon. You kick ass, Ms. Killer!

Congrats on all the auctions! Great job!
I wonder if you could get Judge Mathis to donate a portion of his book sales, for all this free advertising.

Now I want to create whimsicle fuckery on purpose. SO BADLY.
A friend of mine used to show me individual Regretsy posts (the Poodle Silhouette one was the first she showed to me) but tonight I just spent several hours going through all 130+ pages of the blog.
My only regret(sy) is that I didn’t leave anything to read later :{
I’ll just have to buy the book >:}

I still have the GLOWHARD wrist band Helen gave out when she was getting treatment. I was proud to glow along with her while she was radioactive

I bought some of Drea’s cute hair baubles for the cause, and they are adorable! I’ve been a cancer survivor for 6 months now, and owe a debt of gratitude to Regretsy for keeping me laughing, even when it really fucking hurt. Thanks April and Drea!
