Recycling Day

For years, I’ve been hoarding “good” boxes. I use them not only for wrapping gifts, but also at events to create height and interest in displays. They are especially good for silent auctions!

A Weekend for Me? What’s THAT?

I haven’t had a weekend that was just for me in a very long time….every single one has been a wedding or an event or a project or a shoot or work or something….for longer than I can remember back. So, when this weekend thrust itself up on me with no real tasks/projects at hand, […]

Cheesy or not?

As we are post-GAYla without a Fundraising Coordinator, I have had a busy week+. I’ve been running around town with a cab full of baskets and other silent auction goodies delivering them and taking money. Two such deliveries were to occur at ~5pm this evening. In addition, we have a big/looming deadline at work. I […]
