Survived the Garage Sale....just!

Another huge weekend at our place!

The Girl Guide Garage Sale was on Saturday morning which saw the four of us up & out of bed and down to the Guide hut by 4am!!!!

The weather was perfect (luckily as the large marque we borrowed was missing posts and was of no use to us at all!!!) - the customers pleniful and relatively generous - the helpers (while not as many as we'd have liked) were fabulous. We were packed up and home by 1pm - just before a big storm hit! We didn't sell everything but donated the 'left-overs' to a charity shop and Blue Care nurses + Rotary got our books. The Treasurer rang today with an early figure on funds raised and it looks like we'll clear over $1200!!! We made $700 last year so this is a great result!

Even though I was exhausted Saturday afternoon I still managed to scrap :D
Here's my Week 8 LO for the Scrap Chat Project Scrap Away...



Also made a friendship card for a Little Scrapbook Shop weekend challenge...

And the monthly Scrap Chat sketch challenge (double) and the digi challenge...




I've had today off work to tidy up a few garage sale things + do some "me" things (like checking out a new fabric shop on the north side!!!).
Will share my great fabric purchases + my first coin purse in my next post!
