The Great Fete of 2010

As promised, I'm back to update about the Fete - you will remember I was part of a team of Mums who have been meeting every fortnight over 6 months to make things for the Gift & Greet Stall (which we renamed from the Craft Stall).  I manned the stall for 3 hours on the day, and it was pretty busy!  I discovered today that our little stall raised - wait for it - $6,200.00 for the school!!!!!!  WOW!!!!

Makes all the hard work worthwhile to achieve that result.

Here is a collage of photos I took at the Fete, including some of our products (my first Collage using Photoshop Elements, so it is pretty rough!):



As usual, I have just realised that my kids have a school holiday due to the Ekka (Royal Brisbane Exhibition) when I've scheduled my class next week, so I'll be re-scheduling.  D'oh!

In other exciting news, my box of pre-order NEW CATTY goodies is being shipped to me, so I should have it by the end of the week or early next week at the latest!   Squeeeee!

Hey Lou....that is a great effort!! Can I ask what you made for the stall?? I have promised the kindy where my son goes that I would make some stuff for their Christmas stall....and so far I've done nothing!! But I have a retreat coming up so I am going to get busy but would love some cool ideas of stuff that sold well!!
Cheers

Getting closer....

It's nearly that time of year, where the retirement list comes out.  That means the in-colours we've loved the past 2 years are leav...
