Odessa Rescue Auction - Buy Cool Stuff, Support a GREAT Cause!

My friends at Odessa Rescue and Rehabilitation are holding an auction to raise money for their rescue.  Odessa Rescue is a Richmond, VA-based 501(c)(3) organization staffed entirely by volunteers.  They rescued my good friend Rita the Naked Pit Bull and have helped LOTS of pups find forever homes.  (You may remember Rita from my Blogville Pitty Post Day Post, Meet My Pittie Friends.)  We think Odessa is a wonderful organization.

This is one of my favorite photos of Rita

Mom has donated some of her crafty things priceless works of art to the auction.  She is offering 5 of her hand-crafted bone-shaped personalized polymer clay ornaments (like some of the prizes she made for my Silly Photo Contest), as well as one of her frames that she paints and decorates with polymer clay bones and beads and little glass stones and stuff.  (Some of you may recognize the ornaments in the photos -- mom used the ornaments she made for Casey and Reuben as examples.) (Don't worry, she's not auctioning off Casey and Reuben's prizes.)

In addition to mom's crafty things priceless works of art, you can bid on earrings, a purse, Marilyn Monroe stuff, super-awesome looking toy/treat packages, a faux fur dog collar, doggie t-shirts, human t-shirts, etc., and you can even get pawtographed photos of Rita for a sponsorship of $25 or more.
