I am not one for doing the walk thing..I have so much running to so with the kids and the baby that I dont have time, asking for money from people doesnt come easy collecting is even harder:o so I thought since I love to sew and use to do the e-bay thing that I would try it again..while looking at the lister thing I found a tab that you can donate percentage of your sales right to the nonprofit org of your choice and the juvenile Diabetes research foundation metro detroit & southeastern is on their list :D
So I think I am going to set up an account and start selling again ,,,,I found away I can help :)

We just ordered a double pump pouch, and there was only one site i could find it one. (worse of all it is was $45!!) We needed a place for her pump and her new cgms. We got a regular zip pouh for the pump, and on the same belt is a clear front pouch for the cgms.

Once you get things up and going, please give us a link to your auctions. Jess loves american girl doll

That's cool... I don't have any girls and we don't use pumps but if we did I would order something.. Maybe you could make these quilts for people and do them as buy it nows and tell the people to go there to pay for them..

Yep.. it was a called a side by side... and if i could be really picky. i would want the one for the pump to be sewed tot he belt so it didnt move around (in the back) and the one for the cgms to be able to slide around on the belt. This is when I really wish i knew how to sew.

I want to switch to a new charity - CWD Foundation. There is not a walk. I was watching The Big Give and how the one guy had friends and family over. I am not a big hostess-y person with a big house like his, but I wonder if something like that could work. I have no idea if you would work it around a theme or what - or how you would go about asking people for donations. I guess it would be like an open house, but definitely I'd want it clear that it was a fundraising event. Just beginning the thought process.... :confused:

The cgms is the same size as the MM pump (i believe). We sent the trial one back and havent recieved ours yet so I cant measure it. I tried to look online but didnt see the size.

The animas pump is similar in size to the MM.. It is 2.9" x 2.0" x .76"

Oh, and she has a 23" waist if you need to know that too.
