I forgot to mention that the golf tournament silent auction didn't go so well. :-( They didn't have anyone bidding on anything, so they gave away things as door prizes.....including the golf bouquet and the two future bouquets I had pledged to make. :-(
I was a bit upset about that. Just think.....I put all that work into the bouquet and was going to have to make two new bouquets (at my expense!) and raised NO money for the Gambia mission effort.
I told the organizer my thoughts and let him know that it was a bad call to put up donated items for door prizes. He agreed and apologized.
Needless to say.....I probably won't be doing any more silent auctions. I don't know that it is the best venue for my cookies. I do much better when I sell them myself.
I hope to take and post pics soon of the chocolate cookies I did yesterday........
