Nie Nie Day
August 25, 2008
A few posts down, I had blogged about Stephanie Nielson and husband Christian, who were both involved in a terrible plane crash about a week ago. Like so many others, I’ve been heartsick over this tragedy and its implications on their family. And, like so many others, I want to help.
Design Mom has issued out a call for us bloggers to hold silent auctions, where proceeds will go to the Stephanie and Christian Nielson fund. The plan is to kick-off the auctions this Thursday, which Design Mom has officially declared Nie Nie Day.
So without further ado, here is a preview of what I’ll be auctioning:
Custom Boy or Girl Silhouette Stationery Set
(Inspired by Stephanie’s famous mantle)
Boy design
I have still yet to design the girl stationery set. I’m thinking something floral. Bright colors. Definitely with a retro influence to it.
Winner of the auction will receive 20 A6-size folded notecards with their child’s silhouette and name printed on the front. Inside will be blank. Set will come with 20 coordinating envelopes (orange for boy, I don’t know yet for girl).
The entire set will be packaged in a very cute, vintage children’s puzzle box. Inside of the box to be fabric lined, by moi.
Make sure to come back here Thursday for product photos and to join in the silent auction. Design Mom will have a running list on her site of other bloggers auctioning their wares. If you still don’t see anything you like but would like to help out, visit Stephanie’s Benefit Page.

I first heard about Nie Nie on Mrs. Dub’s blog. She seems like an amazing person and it’s so tragic that their plane crashed. My heart goes out to her children.
Jenn, I’m so impressed that you and others in the blogging world have banded together to raise money for Nie and her family. I don’t have a crafty talent to contribute, so I guess I’ll just have to bid for your fabulous cards. Rats (he he)…
