Basket Alive!

WOWZA!! Last night was so fun! Okay, so I was ten minutes late :-/ I missed the snow shower during the VLB service, but all in all it was a great service! With the church all decorated, its so purty! Then came the Basket Auction! Who knew Bro Rick could REALLY sound like an auctioneer!! Mercy! Anywhoo, Sis Peggy needs to go to AA...Auctionholics Anonymous! She bought 8 baskets I think, and they were NOT cheap!! We had several baskets, probably around 30 I guess. I really wanted some of them, but they got so high I couldn't afford them. (when I say high, I am talking in the 100-150 dollar range) It was sweet tho...There was a basket for men only to buy, it was a "romanc" basket with a bunch of flowers, an O'charleys gift certificate and some CD I think. Anyway Damon and Bro Tim were going against each other on the bids. Damon went up to $80 and I think brother Tim got it for $85. But atleast he tried, made me feel special! :) I bought a princess themed basket for my cousins in Idaho, and another smaller basket. Oh yeah...remember how I told yall I spent WAY to much on my basket and was concerned how much it would bring??....welll...It started at a minimum bid of 250...no, not $2.50...$250.00!!! WOWZA, sister Crystal had put a silent bid in of 250 on before auction started I believe. She later told me, she hadn't made a basket and only wanted to buy one, and that she saw mine had a blanket in it so decided to get it. My basket brought the highest bid for the night, PTL. However, most importantly we raised over $1400.00 in about an hour for the youth retreat! Thank the Lord!! WOOHOO

That was great! I told Danny I'd rather have 80.00 than a romance basket... or else he could make one up. Beside Tim ate the chocolate outta the basket. *rolling eyes* MEN! =P

I was only gonna bid on yours cause I knew you had all good stuff. They held it for last though and started at 250.00! GEEEZZ LOUISE!!!!! I liked Jen's foot basket she got too (she got a good deal). Maw Maw give me the peanut butter basket Lynn made. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

NOT FAIR!! That had lynns peanut butter balls in it! THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!

To be honest I couldn't hardly believe it started out at 250.00 either!! I kinda knew it would bring more than 30 bucks with the way the other nicer ones were selling, but still. I liked the Thomas Kinkade one for my Grandma, I really wanted the one with the cooler, but it went for like $170.00. YIKES I wanted to give it to Damon, but I could NOT afford that!

Hey Em...go to www.blogger.com and enter your user name and password. It will bring you to a settings or new post page. Click settings. Then go to "template" scroll down until you see < h2 class = "sidebar-title" >Links < /h2 >
it's almost at the bottom. Then you just add your friends blogs in like this
< li > Em's Bama Blog < / li >
you can see where you blog address fits in the middle, then I can change the title around to whoevers blog it is. I just copy and paste the format then enter the individual blog website and change the display name.

Take out spaces though

And....Wendy, I wonder if she'd let me buy it from her. Does she have plans on giving it to anybody?

wemmies said...

No plans, call her.

Kasey said...

I just talked to Sis Peggy aka Maw Maw (she said I could call her that) anyway...she said she is thinking about giving it to her son, she's gonna look at it and decide what to do. But, if she decides not to I can buy it from her for whatever I feel appropriate. WOOHOO

That was Brad's cooler Road Trip basket! We picked out the stuff together and I put it together. I can't believe it sold for so much but it was soooooooo much fun to put together!!!

If you want a run down of what's in it I can tell ya. :-)

Sis. Leslie got my relaxation kit basket for $100!!!

So together, we still beat you, Kasey! Gotta love the one flesh concept.... :-)

Kasey said...

I pretty much know what was in it. I knew you and Brad had done that one, I didn't know the relaxation thing was yours. But see it took TWO to beat one. Thats not very fair, now is it? Say you're sorry and lets move on ;)

Rachel said...

"They shall be no more twain, but one flesh"

HOWEVER, I will concede that this one DID make two baskets.

So you're right. :-)
