Team 'Fun'raiser - our second annual play day

 Some of my fabulous team The Lorikeet Stampers gathered on the weekend to stamp, socialise and create!  We gathered at the Lonestar Tavern for our first get together of the year!  It's a great opportunity to play with new products.

Happy table pics!

Little gifts for everyone: one of our new mini Blending Brushes and a delicious ice cream cone shaped cookie!

Remember mintie tearing competitions?  Everyone received a Basic White circle which they had to cut into a spiral using their Paper Snips.  Longest spiral won....cut by Kylie-Jean.

Lots of prizes throughout the day with a scavenger hunt and a quiz.

Our service project was to create single sided cards for Hope in a Suitcase

We made 74 cards in total which I will deliver very soon.  A bright and happy message to tuck into suitcases.

And the ladies were asked to bring some items to donate to the Hope in A Suitcase collection - that's a lot of beautiful donations!

We had some displays to inspire....

And of course some make and takes with new products.

I was blessed to be given this beautiful bunch of flowers and card at the end!  Thanks Mary-Anne for organising!

Christmas Charity Workshop! Fundraising and FUNraising

 On Saturday we held our Annual Christmas Charity Day!  Our wonderful team The Lorikeet Stampers banded together to prepare and run this amazing event!  One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! ® is that it provides me with a platform to hold such events, gather people together and give to worthy causes.

Thanks to everyone involved - many hours go into cutting and packing the kits, team members prepare samples for display, they advertise to their customers, everyone helps set up, biscuits are baked, snacks are packaged, raffle prizes are gathered and wrapped.  On the day, team members participate or run tables, help set up and pack away. The help is so generous!

We had 10 tables altogether (I missed getting a shot of one of the tables!) and the ladies were guided through their projects by our team of demonstrators.

To inspire our customers we had some beautiful displays..

And we had a magnificent raffle which raised over $1010.

The money will be used to continue to provide our footprint cards and kits to Gold Coast University Hospital, our cards and invitations deliveries to Meals on Wheels and our cards and products for Hope In a Suitcase.  

I was delighted to receive a beautiful bunch of flowers and gorgeous card at the close of the day.

Thank you to all who came along and took part in such a fun day.  As always the day is the culmination of many contributions and I am so grateful for all involved.

If you would like to be involved in these days in the future and you don't yet receive my emails, contact me on wheatonanna@hotmail.com

June 2022 Charity Day

Welcome to my blog!

On Saturday we held one of our fun and fabulous charity days!  These days are both fundraising and FUNraising - lots of fun and a chance to raise money for a good cause, thanks to our raffle with prizes generously donated by Stampin' Up! ®

42 ladies attended for a fun day of crafting and to raise money for the Gold Coast University Hospital Footprint cards, Robina Hospitals Craft Kits and Meals on Wheels!

Other than the fun projects (which I will show you in another post), there's always fun surprises like Golden Tickets, hidden in people's kits.

And Lucky Door Prizes

I love running these days with my team - we always have lots of laughs together.

All up we raised $720 for charity!  The prizes for our raffle were generously donated by Stampin' Up!®

Thanks to everyone who came, helped prepare the kits and displays and helped run the day.  A HUGE thanks to Maree who always organises our food behind the scenes.
