Acution - Paintings by Junior

Things have been so busy I have not had a chance to get Junior's paintings posted here for auction. We were out at an appointment earlier this week and as I lifted him out of the car I was quickly reminded that I need to get back to work raising funds for Junior's wheels.

For now he has two paintings available, each is on a canvas panel. If you would like to bid on a painting just leave a comment with your bid and which painting you are bidding on(be sure I have a way to contact you). I will close bidding next Friday May 28th.
All proceeds go towards Junior's van fund. Thanks for helping Junior get a little closer to getting his wheels.

thank you

A big thank you to Becky, she was the only person to enter our raffle this time so she wins the baby legs, build a bear, and a Junior painting.

Now to decide where to go from here, regular fund raising is not an option. I just have no ability to fit it in around caring for Junior. It has been suggested that I contact my church but that is also not an option, we haven't been able to attend in a year so aren't exactly considered a part of things there.
We will get there, and I know we are certainly not the only ones in need of an adapted vehicle.

Baby Legs and Build A Bear Raffle

Hi Everyone I finally was able to get everything ready for our next raffle.

For this raffle we have 4 pairs of BabyLegs and an adorable set from Build A Bear.
Junior has been using BabyLegs in place of long sleeves for about the past year and we absolutely love them. For the littler kids they can be used on the legs as well.

Also this adorable set of Moose from Build A Bear. Thank you so much Michelle for donating these to Junior's raffle. The Pair of Moose come complete with the outfits pictured, but they come with a story book instead of the dvd and little robot shown in this picture.
We will be adding one of Junior's paintings to this raffle once he finishes it. He has been on a games kick lately and hasn't done as much painting as usual.

Any donation enters you for a chance to win.

Wheels Blanket

Well we can't have a raffle to raise money for Junior's wheels without raffling something with wheels. So today we made a "wheels" blanket to add to the raffle for Junior's painting. Now the person who wins the raffle will get both the blanket and the painting.
Any donation enters you into the raffle and don't forget to enter the giveaway as well, you just need to leave a comment to enter that one.
Here are a couple pictures of the blanket, Junior loves this material.

Give Away

Last night we had a bit of a J-tube disaster and nothing has worked to unplug it so we will be headed to the hospital as soon as the doc calls to have the tube replaced.
I decided I best get this posted first thing this morning since I don't know when we will get home this afternoon.

Here is Junior's first give away. Some of his favorite books are the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" series so we decided these two hard back books and matching stuffed animals would be a great giveaway. Junior is getting a set for Christmas so we wanted to giveaway a set as well.
Just leave me a comment and you are entered for a chance to win, become a blog follower and get a second chance.

Also don't forget to enter the raffle for Junior's painting. Any size donation enters you for a chance to win a Junior original which he painted all by himself.
Both the giveaway and raffle will be ending on December 4th and we will post the winners on Decemeber 5th.

Welcome

Welcome to Junior's new blog. Our goal is to raise money to purchase a van for Junior. As he gets bigger it is harder for me to get him in and out of our small car. I want him to be able to continue to experience life as well get to his numerous doctors appointments no matter how big he gets.
To read more about Junior check out his regular blog Junior's Amazing Journey.

I am completely new to fund raising and would love any and all ideas you could share. Junior loves to paint with his head brush and we will be raffling off one of his paintings in the near future to get things started.
I would like to make a button to link to Junior's blog but have no idea how to do this, if anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. I also have no idea how to link for donations.

Now a few pictures of Junior(so you can get to know him) for those who may not have gotten here via his regular blog.
