For those who haven’t heard, my blogging friend Stephanie Nielson and her husband were in a terrible plane accident. They are in critical condition and Stephanie has third degree burns covering about 80% of her body. Recovery will be long and very expensive. To help raise funds, Design Mom has declared Thursday Nie Nie Day. Starting tomorrow all over the internet there will be auctions and things for sale–including here on Oh Happy Day. I’ve heard some whisperings of some of the things that will be auctioned and there is some seriously amazing stuff. Design Mom will post a comprehensive list of all the auctions going on.
So tomorrow get your pocketbooks ready…and please forward this information to all your friends.
{ps: who is so lucky as to have 4 children, ALL with different colored hair. So jealous.}

I can’t wait to start bidding! I took part in the balloon launch {you can see our video here. } but feel I need to do more. I’ve loved reading NieNie for a long time now. Stephanie, Christian, and her family have been on my mind constantly.

I wish that I had readers to auction something too. 🙂 I am going to bid on as many things as I can though. Has there been an update lately? My heart is aching for their children.

I have been a faithful reader of your blog and LOVE IT! Thanks for continuing to offer so many inspiring ideas/thoughts 🙂
I was so moved by the story of Stephanie and her family, that I am donating 10% of all the sales from my etsy site (www.sparklejenna.com) between 8/28 & 8/31 to their recovery fund. Thanks for helping to get the word out!

I just read about this on another blog and feel so awful for this family. I posted the Donate to Nie Nie button on my blog and have encouraged fellow bloggers to do so. What you’re doing is wonderful.
