OT: Yay It's all done!!!

I have victory! (doin the victory dance)5 months of hard work is finally finished! I have been in charge of planning a silent auction at church. This is a huge fund raiser for an endowment fund that provides college scholarship money for seminary students. I haven't completely totaled up all of the numbers, I will be doing a bit of paperwork this week, but it looks like the auction made around $3,000. I have basically done nothing these past 4 days (and most of my free time in the last 5 months). Anyway, it felt pretty good to have brought in as much as we did. The icing on the cake was that two pieces of my artwork sold for a decent amount and so did some paper-piecing that I did as a part of a scrapbooking kit I made. I also came home with some nice items. Although my hubbie was mad at me for bidding on a printer (which I won). He doesn't have room to talk though. He bid on a wateercolor piece I did and we won so I basically paid for it twice and it is one that I can't really use anywhere in the house. Oh well, it is cute that he couldn't let it go. It shows that he has a sentimental streak. Anyway, the end result was worth not sleeping for 2 days. It was for a good cause. Just had to share. ~~Jaimee

Congrat's on the good results! Always feels good to make something good happen huh? I worked 3 yrs as PTO Pres, to get a playground built at my sons' school. $42,000 worth of work, and not just in bake sales..lol But, end result? Playground for all the children! hugs

i'm proud of you!!! it's great to see things come to fruition...i feel that way about yesterday's reunion--but am glad that it's over for another year!

HIP HIP HOORAY!!! Good job!!! I bet you really do feel relieved. I have a question though what does OT stand for in your post title? Cheryl

Hi Jamiee, Off topic or not, it's a great accomplishment that I'm glad you shared! I think challenges and rewards such as this help boost self esteem -- something that many of us with weight issues struggle with. Good job!
