By now everyone must know that our dear friend Cholo is happy to have Valorie (visual- vamp)and Alberto back in New Orleans. ( Alberto was in the hospital in Calgary after a heart attack.) My heart aches for them. For days, I have been worried and wondered how I could help. Blogger -decor to adore jumpled to it and has an on-line auction. I have donated a custom work of art, of your pet. (update -11/9 - 8 am, Bids started at $50 and the latest bid was for $125 - bid by leaving a comment)
Last Summer, I had the pleasure of meeting Valerie and Alberto and they both left a special place in my heart! In fact Valorie left her heart necklace which I had to return. She wore a wonderful red heart~ which she took off when they danced the tango for us in my home.
Let's show our support, opening bid will start at $50 and all donations will be given to Valorie and Alberto. Bids will close in one week.
Blogger's unite and show our support for a friend in need! Please feel free to make a pay-pal donation, on-line at;
That is just terrible...and you are wonderful to donate such a generous gift. I will have to go today. I hope all works out well. Bloggers unite!
