My heart goes out to all of those who have lost loved ones, their homes, their lives, their towns in the worst bush fires Australia has ever seen. This is a very hard day for so many Australians.
Find it in your heart to give even if it is only small it will help in some way. I was so taken by Judy at Lily-G's generous donation of the remaining sale items in her homeware/furniture store which she is going to pack up and send down to Victoria. I hope we can all find a way to help our fellow Australians.

Anna... my heart goes out to you and your countrymen. It's just shocking to see such destruction. I've been thinking of you.
Hugs and hopeful thoughts from Canada. LPXO
I am so sorry to hear of this devastation Anna! Your fellow Australians are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was just reading about this, such a tragedy. I am so sorry to hear about these horrific fires.
I will keep Australia in my thoughts and prayers.
So sad about what's been happening down under. Hope there is a change in the weather very soon.
Must be very hard to take; I can't imagine. My thoughts are with you all...
Anna,
Thank you for posting this. We need to send this info all around our blogging community. What these people have gone through is unimaginable. The stories that have filtered into London are unbearable. Anything we can do will help.
Thanks again.

My heart also goes out to everyone who has lost loved ones and their homes.
This is awful. But your post is a wonderful tribute! My heart and prayers also go out to all of the victims.
Oh Anna, my heart goes to everyone affected by your fires - I know full well, first hand, the devestation these fires bring - we have them here in Southern California, too. I just donated what I could through Red Cross (thank you for providing the information), and my thoughts and prayers are out there.

I saw these fires and the tremendous loss on the morning news here in the US. Our prayers are with you.
Hey Anna,
I love your blog, not just because of your amazing talent but also because I'm an Aussie living in California and it makes me feel a little less homesick.
I'm also heartsick about whats happened in Australia this weekend, the loss of lives both human and animal, the loss of property - just devastating.
God bless Aus and keep up the good work Anna.
The grief is beyond measure, the sadness, the stories, the outpouring of emotion, it has just been the most heartbreaking of days.

Words cannot express the devastation we are seeing in country Victoria.
I would like to donate all proceeds from our Valentine's Day cupcake sales to the Red Cross. http://www.thecupcakecompany.blogspot.com/
I urge everyone to donate a little something to help ease the pain of our fellow Australians.

you have such an inspiring blog, so beautiful...the destruction and death in your country is heartbreaking...so much senseless loss...I cannot help but think of the little koalas who could not run fast enough...my thoughts and prayers are with your country during this terrible time.
Oh its just so sad and the pain and suffering is just incomprehensible. Thankfully I haven't personally been affected by this, but sad stories of acquaintances are starting to trickle in.
It's so sad to hear of so many little towns - some of which I've stayed in before, and have family living in - being destroyed by fires. It breaks my heart. As if a drought and all that hot weather wasn't bad enough. I really hope they catch the arsonists...
Hi Anna
So sorry to hear about this. I have sent a donation from Canada. It is a small token, but I hope it can help. I hate for people to suffer. I hope that their lives can soon return to normal.
Dear Anna,
In Europe we are really concearned about this situation too and it's on the news every day. Thank you for posting important info on how to help, I will post a link to you on my blog.

I do not know you personally, but my heart goes out to your entire country. What a tragedy! All Australians will be in my thoughts and prayers, that your country may find some peace.
