Silent Auction for My Son's Halloween Fun Night Fundraiser

This year I've been more involved in my son's education and school. He's in kindergarten at the elementary school where I went. They really depend on the parents to volunteer in each class. I decided that I would focus on helping in the classroom and volunteering as much as I can as time permits. Sometimes I get roped into more than I had bargained for, but it's all for a good cause. I've enjoyed working with my son on his homework and watching him excel in school. Just seeing him read a little more each time we read a new book is mesmerizing!

I had offered to donate a clay floral arrangement and that basically got me somehow roped into designing the gift basket for our Halloween Fun Night. Each class is required to create a gift basket with a specific theme and the families donate to the basket with items or cash. Since I agreed to donate an arrangement they decided on a "garden" theme. They thought I also offered to design the basket so I got suckered into that one. Honestly though it was kind of fun to do. Thankfully the other parents donated items and cash so this is a great gift to receive. Since I have lots of zenatona art and "bloomies", I thought this would be perfect to include in the themed planter! I titled the planter - "garden in bloom". All the parents loved how it turned out. I already know a few moms who are ready to bid on this item. It's all for a great cause. It's one of the big fundraisers for the school for the year and a lot of fun for the kids.I made all the signage for the planter to make the gift cards and seeds stand out a bit more. I had used the artwork I had made for one of my clients which I thought worked perfectly and I loved the pink and green hues! Makes you ready for Spring again even though I love Fall!

I'll also be trying my hand at face painting. Clay, now give me clay and I can really do something with that. Face painting? Oh dear.... LOL.
