Our Hummingbird House Charity Day

We had a fantastic day on Saturday!  The Lorikeet Stampers ran a charity day to raise money for craft supplies for Hummingbird House!

The day wouldn't be possible without the help of a whole bunch of people.  This is the team that ran the tables.


But I also had help with cutting and packing kits, prepping raffle prizes, prepping the bags and naming them, preparing samples for each table, setting up, creating and setting up displays, preparing food, running the kitchen, taking photos, running tables (even by two of you who had no customers), tidying up, packing down, vacuuming and loading cars. 

And here's Trudi who bravely offered to run the kitchen!  She bakes the most amaaaazing cakes.  Others in the team also brought platters of food and we had Subway rolls for lunch.


Here are some table pics.






Stampin' Up! gives us a box of retired goodies which we raffle and the money raised goes towards Hummingbird House.

Here's hubby's realistic drawing of a hummingbird.  He generously tried to give me credit for this amazing drawing but I mustn't have you admire it without knowing the real illustrator.


Stamps or chocolates...stamps or chocolates....stamps AND chocolates!!


We also try to have a display.  It was fantastic.  And much bigger than this.  I went over many times to take more photos and there were people admiring all the lovely work so I couldn't get a good shot.  And this one has a gap where a card has fallen off!  Oops!


All up we had 32 people attend and we raised $659 for Hummingbird House along with an additional $200 donated directly to Hummingbird!

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this cause and to everyone who helped prepare and run it.

Stampin' Up! CEO Sara Douglas gave us four reasons for getting together and stamping.

Connect with yourself 
Connect through creativity
Connect through caring
Create a community

I think Saturday was a great example of all four!

Pop in again for some pics of the projects we made.
