John and I are not going to be able to attend the Alpha Resource Center Silent Auction this year due to a conflict so instead of attending we are going to donate two gift baskets.
I wish I had taken a photo before I turned the baskets in to the center, but I didn't, so I will describe what I put in each basket. This is more for my future reference than anything else.
Both baskets were centered around hats donated by Courtney.
The first basket was called a Winnie the Pooh Basket.
It included the beautiful hand crocheted Winnie the Pooh hat made by Courtney,
A Winnie the Pooh stacking toy,
A Winnie the Pooh sound book,
A stuffed Winnie the Pooh,
and
Some Winnie the Pooh flashcards.
Value of the basket was $70.oo
The second basket was a Football lover's, especially Packers, infant basket.
It included a hand crocheted football hat and football diaper cover made by Courtney,
A Packer sleeper,
Packer booties,
A Packer meal set with silverware, a plate, dish, cup, bottle, and bib,
A taggie stuffed football.
Valued again at $70.00.
I really hope the baskets go for their value or higher and I hope the recipients enjoy the contents.
I wish I could be there to watch it all unfold.
We are giving Ruth and Larry permission to bid on a few items for us not to exceed a certain amount of money, so even if we cannot be there in person, we will be there in spirit and we will be able to spend a bit of money.
