Successful Fundraiser & Awesome Day

Hi! Everyone.

Yesterday was the day of our anuall fundrasier, organised by the lovely Mandy Gilchrist! Mandy does the best and most wonderful job, with these fundraisers, that she puts her heart and soul into. This year the fundraiser was held for the Hunter River Community School. Mandy & Regina organised and put on the most wonderful day for us all. Classes were held, by Jen Hall & Myself, with 100% of class fees going to the fundraiser. We had great participation in these classes being filled, and most kits being sold. Michelle Thomas from Scrapbook Divas had the scrapbook store on the day, with a wonderful new range from MME, and believe me i went crazy, this is definetly one of the nicest ranges from MME i have ever seen.

Many, Many, People ,Companies &  Scrapbookstores, Scrapbook Internet Sites & Scrapbook Magazine Distributors, all donated fantastic prizes.

Jen Hall donated one of here Jenerations photography packs as a special raffle, & i donated a very special photo frame also as a raffle prize on the day with the lovely Stacey Pollock winning the prize, she was elated, as she said she had a perfect photo to put it in. There will be a picture below, for all to have a look at.

There was many laughs, lots of noise in the room, and just a wonderful day. Alas though! because i was so busy all day, only able to complete layout, which still needs some finishing touches, i did not get to take any photos. So i am relying on some friends to forward me some of the day, which i am sure they will.

This is the layout i taught for my class on the day.



This is the prize that i created and donated for the raffle. The picture is not that great, this week the winds were very strong, and it was hard to find a good place, with good lighting and no wind. It is actually a scrapbook 12" x 12" photo frame, with a stand at at the back, or a hanger for hanging on the wall.

Anyway that is it for now, i have my Dad coming for lunch today, and i need to get lunch organised, will be back soon with more updates.

Marion, the framed scrapbook page is absolutely beautiful!! It is a very special piece of art and I'm sure Stacy is excited to have won it. I wish I could have been there, it sounds like you all had a great day.
