The Event

At this time last Saturday, I was so excited!  We were getting ready to go the Ball and Auction.  That big fundraiser my friend Beth and I have been planning for the last year.  I had my hair done, make-up on, bag packed, and time for exactly two photos of the event.  Two.

A big part of the evening is auctioning off the class projects.  Earlier in the year, my co-chairs and I selected the projects for each class.

Elizabeth's class made a table-top water fountain out of copper.  Her class went to a local shop and each of the kids pounded out a leaf shape for the water to cascade down.  Elizabeth's leaf is on the bottom. Yes, she has 5 kids in her class.  We love it.  I so wanted this fountain for my new patio.  Turns out someone else wanted it more.

Williams class made hop-scotch stones.  There are 9 kids in his class, and they are each assigned a number for grading purposes.  (I guess?)  Each student painted the tile that coordinated with his/her number.  William is number 1!  And these are the first blocks and focal point of my new patio.

Beth and I.  At the end of the evening.  Bags and all.
