We did it!

We did it!  Another successful Oktoberfest scholarship fundraiser is in the bag.  Last night almost 350 people were having a great time at the Holiday Inn:  eating, drinking, laughing, bidding on almost 200 auction items, having a wonderful time.  Thank you to my friends and family who came to my aid (as usual) and pitched in to help make the event a success! 

The cramps in my shins and feet are finally almost worked out.  I wasn't so sure they'd ever go away at 1 o'clock this morning when I was laying in bed trying to will my toes to relax!

Last night's jewelry selection was all about silver and turqoise.  Everyone loves the necklace I was wearing--it looks so heavy but it's really a lightweight piece even though it's so substantial in looks.  It's one of the pieces I've purchased from a vendor at St. Margaret's annual December craft fair.  His booth is usually close to our "Pictures with Santa" booth and the jewelry calls my name until I go check it out.  There's almost alwasy a few affordable pieces I just can't live without!

Saturday was a day of relaxing and returning items we had borrowed to their rightful owners.  I didn't put one stitch of jewelry on today.  Don't fall off your chair!  It's a rare day that I don't put on even a pair of earrings.  I was just too darned tired this morning to even think about it.
