Mary's Graces: Discussion: Treasury Challenges


Illustrated Ink
I would really like to make three specific treasuries and I will give a $5 Amazon gift certificate to the winner of each or a $10 donation in your name to the charity of your choice. The winner will be chosen by random number generator of any member who has an item in their store based on any or all of the three treasuries that I want to do. Even if you're not chosen for the treasury, you still can win, as long as you have an item listed in your store on the dates posted. Multiple items each get a number. Notice the dates are Sept. 1, Oct. 1, and Nov. 1.

I think you know by now that I prefer to include religious items in my treasuries, so please keep that in mind. Of course, to be entered into the drawing, you do not have to be chosen for the treasury. You just need to list an appropriate item and follow the rules below. Basically - include the treasury title at the beginning of the title of your item, include marysgraces as a tag and include the treasury title as a tag.

Do not be pornographic or sacrilegious in the choice of your item. I prefer religious items. Please consider that we are the team of Mary's Graces.

1. Day of the Dead - please research what it's about and what makes it unique and come up with a new or vintage handmade item that represents this celebration.

For examples, see today's treasury. Go to wikipedia and learn more about it. Talk to Hispanic friends. Anything you can do to learn about it and make an item to represent this holy celebration.

This treasury will be done on Nov. 1, so please list your item before then and let me know so that I can add it to my favorite as well as give you a number for the prize entry.

Please have the title of your listing start with Day of the Dead and don't forget to include marysgraces (one word, no spaces) as a tag and Dad of the Dead as another tag.

Do not be pornographic or sacrilegious in the choice of your item. I am seeking creative items relating to this religious celebration.

2. Breast cancer - the ribbon color is pink. Please have your entry include this color. Other than being at least partially pink, the only requirements are in the title and tags. The date of this treasury will be September 1. So please have your items listed by that date.

Just a couple of examples: The patrons saints for breast cancer are St. Peregrine (all cancers), St. Aldegundis (breast cancer), and St. Agatha of
Sicily (breast cancer). There may be others. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is often associated with cancer. Are there others?

Please have the title of your entry start with Breast Cancer and don't forget to include marysgraces (one word, no spaces) as a tag and breast cancer as another tag.

Do not be pornographic in the choice of your item. I am seeking creative pink items preferably religious.

3. Ovarian and Uterine cancer - the ribbon color is teal. Please have your entry include this color. Other than being at least partially teal, the only other requirements are in the title and tags (see below). The date for this treasury will be October 1. So please have your items listed by then.

For example, St Peregrine is the patron saint of all cancers. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is often associated with St. Peregrine and cancer. Are there others? Anything pink will be entered.

Please have the title of your entry start with Ovarian/Uterine Cancer and don't forget to include marysgraces (one word, no spaces) as a tag and ovarian uterine cancer as another tag.

Do not be pornographic in the choice of your item. I am seeking teal items, preferably religious.

Any questions, please post them here so that I can answer them here. If the questions are personal, please email me at
