make a wish

so this was a really cool thing. the vase was auctioned off in a regular bidding style auction and it went for $250 and the plates are being auctioned off today at the golf tournament. Out of all the smaller items the vase went for the most money, the cool part was that they actually gave the vase back to the family and the person who won it got a plate instead. i found out last night that the whole auction was kicked off by my idea to donate the pottery and in 1 month they were able to get enough stuff to auction off and they ended up making $10,000 on just the auction last night. It was so awesome!! I know God brought them into my store so that more money could be raised and so that they could add another avenue for people to give. I am looking forward to more opporunities with the Make A Wish Foundation, i am going to try to put something together so that maybe when ever they grant a wish we do something for the family or child to commemorate it. Maybe just picture frames or plates..i dont have all the details worked out but i am very excited.

getting ready for romania

a trip to target! $150 and almost everything off of my list. what remains on the list should be available locally at kmart or reynolds or maybe even big lots. rain boots (golashes) advil face paint crayons watch razors small umbrella space bags (hopefully big dave has these) the other things i need are books. and i am going to get them at the library. i had a long talk with my friend amanduh and she told me the good ones to try to find.

In response to Who is Parsons Brown???

attacking someone on their web site isnt very nice. but just in case anonymous wants to know i did not know parson brown was a minister and i dont think i have ever heard that in a sermon..so i am not sure how being a devout church member has anything to do with this song. and i wasnt trying to ruin CHRISTMAS!! i never thought about the meaning until someone else brought it up and i always thought parson brown was just a color...and to tell you the truth i never thought anything sexual about the song and in re-reading my post there is not a mention of the "questionable" part of the song being about anything sexual...well everyone is entitled to their opinions. sorry if i offeneded anyone it was not meant to be offensive. merry christmas.
