I am back

I am sorry for my nearly three week absence.  As many of you know my father passed away early in June.  I have experienced first hand the power of a hand made card in the mail from many people including many of my customers.  Thank you!

I postponed my catalogue launch and had a mad rush to prepare it but I was very blessed with helpers on the actual day and on the day before.  Thank you to everyone who helped me with actions big and small and plenty of hugs.  I really couldn't have done it without you.

I did remember to take some photos....

The launch bags - spotted with the new In Colors and the fun spot from the Layered Letters Alphabet set.

 

Lucky door prizes - I wish I had taken a better photo but they are now happy in their winners' homes.

Our ever popular raffle - prizes are donated by Stampin' Up!

Some of the Make and Take tables.

And displays of new products and ideas

I love this watermelon gift bag - CASEd from Cindy Schuster

Proceeds from our raffle for the whole day totaled $210 plus another $20 from sales of donated stamp sets.  So total for the day of $230.  One of my team members, Angela, also had a launch and her raffle raised $115. 

So we have a grand total of $345 to send to the Gold Coast Children's Hospital.  Yay!

It's nice to raise some money while doing something that is so much fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

In the next post I will show you our Make and Takes.
