:wavey: Hello DPF! :wavey:

​
Dan and I really wanted to help little Ida get her dream bike, but right now, funds are pretty tightly budgeted for our honeymoon in February. So how else could we possibly help? By auctioning off a one of a kind, 8" x 8" custom made shadowbox for one lucky winner's favorite pins!


For those of you unfamiliar with my work:

... and many, many more reference photos available upon request.
​

So how does it work...?? Easy! Bid any and all pins that you would want to win in a game or auction -- No pin too big or too small! The winner will send their bid to Angie (MotherKnowsBest) to be used in games and auctions to benefit the bike fund for Princess Ida. PLEASE DO NOT USE MY WANTS LIST when you are assembling your bid - please bid pins that you think would help us raise funds for this amazing cause!

I will contact the winner within 24 hours of auction close to ask for your ideal theme -- movie, character, ride, park, etc. -- and then I get to work! I usually ask for TWO WEEKS to create your one of a kind shadowbox, integrating themes, colors and traits from your movie, character, ride or park, but please understand that this wait could be a little longer due to the holidays. We will be in constant communication and I will send photos along every step of the way.


~* Other Stuff *~

- Due to the fragile nature of these shadowboxes and shipping costs, I can only ship within the United States. Sorry!
- Your shadowbox will be a one of a kind, and as such, I request that you do not ask for an exact replica of one I've already created.
- 8" x 8" shadowboxes can hold as many as 16 pins depending on how you organize them and their size.
- Pins in the shadowboxes are not included in the prize! Sorry!!
- Winning bid MUST be in Angie's hands by 12/11!!

This auction will end Sunday December 1st @ 10:00 PM Walt Disney World (EST) Time.
... That's ten days to put together an amazing bid!!

Please bid early, bid often, bid for each other and know that every bid is helping make a little girl's dream come true!

Thanks for looking!​
 
I was hoping to see one of your beautiful shadowboxes included in the fundraising ever since I saw your Frozen one! Thank you so much for this! :D

Thank you for the first bid! Just for clarity, the winner will win ONE custom made shadowbox, and the theme does NOT have to be Frozen - it can be anything you like!! :D

Thanks Carissa! Let's see if we can get any more bids since people are up early for the Frozen release!!
 
I am sure that you will get nice bids and one very lucky person will get a wonderful shadow box from you.

Here is my bid to get things a bit warmed up:

 
I will start with
