I channeled my inner Lynn Lawrence (aka Martha Stewart) again yesterday and decorated for this month's relief society enrichment meeting. Amber thoughtfully put together a service auction to help the sisters in our ward use their talents to bless each other's lives. (See what I did there, mom?)
I received mixed reviews about the activity, but I think everyone who wanted to had a really great time last night. The ladies I sat with were a hoot and made for a great evening. The best part about s service auction is that the activity doesn't end with yesterday, the service continues on throughout the month as the sisters each give their auctioned time and talents to one another. There were haircuts, highlights, gardening, freezer meals, moms lunch, art lessons, car detail, family history, baked goods, FHE lessons, Birthday cupcakes, Christmas gift wrapping, babysitting, personal training session, knitting lessons, crafts, pet sitting, home organizing, clothing alterations, and several other useful talents auctioned off last night. It was a cool experience to see how many talents there are in the sugar creek relief society.
I auctioned off 2 hours of handy-Meg time. I'll hang pictures or curtains, purge a closet, organize a pantry, or fix something. Kristi A won the bid and stoked to go over and hang pictures in her new home while I get to know a new friend. I also auctioned off bread for Sunday dinner and it goes to the lovely Gina B----who is a bread baker extraordinaire, herself! She requested artisan bread. Something delicious is comin your way, Gina!
The two items I won are a family Christmas picture taken by Carly and a voice lesson for my girls with Jo Evans. I haven't told the girls yet, but I know they'll be excited about it, and the family picture with Carly is something that was on my list of things to purchase, so that's a pretty awesome relief society auction discount! Score!
