Fundraiser...raised the roof!!

Howdy!
Miss me????
Have been catching up on some well-deserved sleep after the fantastic day last Sunday.

These were taken very late (hence the cardies!!LOL) when most had gone home.

It was a lovely, relaxed day and just about everyone left with something new. A prize, a friendship, a tip or technique....

....lots of lovely laughter (especially from the Naughty Corner) and some well-deserved quality scrapping time for most.


Thanks to all the 20+ ladies who turned up, braved the morning rain, my layout class and a really {bad} game of Heads and Tails.

We raised $500.
I'm speechless and overwhelmingly grateful to Kathleen and Tamara, the owners of Inkredible, who continually open their hearts, and this time their store, whenever I call out.

Sorry there aren't more photos. I should delegate that responsibility next time.

WINNERS ARE GRINNERS....indeed...
The Jilly G-G canvas - Maria (yay...give, and ye shall receive!!)
The AVON goody bag - Margaret
The Stampin' Up goody bag - Dina
$60 voucher to Inkredible - Helen
$50 cold, hard cash courtesy of Pandemonium Cafe - Angela
Bottle of Moet - Christine

There were so many Lucky Door Prizes, we had to run 2 lots.

Once again, thanks to the many prize donors and people who made some yummy sweets to sustain our creative juices for 12 hours.

My next job is to go shopping at these fine establishments:
IKEA (believe it or not)
SenseAbilities
Sensory Tools

I have raised $1 000 with your help, and I am humbled by the overwhelming and instant response I received from this community that I was initially very reluctant to open my life to.

But look what happened!!!!
THANK YOU!

I'll be back with specific items that will hopefully be en-route when I next post.

Stay tuned....
After Easter hols, I will run that online class for those that missed the first one last year.

....SEEK and make a difference, learn something new and feel good about yourself
