Biggest Morning Tea Event in May

This year I decided I would be brave and host a Biggest Morning Tea event. It actually turned into a Biggest AFTERNOON Tea event by the time a suitable date was found allowing for Soccer commitments!!

Inspiration was found globally for the projects and there ended up being one or two too many perhaps. 11 lovely ladies attended the crafty afternoon and these are the projects we created:



I also applied to Stampin’ Up!® for a donation box to run an auction as part of the event. Well a big box of retired goodies arrived and 32 lots later we were well set to have a great day. Thankyou so much to Stampin’ Up!® , a wonderful company who so generously supports their Demonstrators in fundraising endeavours.

After a very civilised, if not dreadfully polite, auction of craft items we raised a total of $472 on the day plus $60 from online donations. A huge thank you to all the wonderful ladies who attended, you helped make the event so much more fun. I will be holding the event next year....but with much SIMPLER projects!!
