It has been NUTS! So we booked a private party for this Saturday… and I KNEW we were not going to be home all day because I also helped a fellow photog at the food bank Saturday morning so that the kids could have a picture with Santa and play in the jumpers and stuff while their parents were picking up food for Christmas. All of it was fun! But I am still trying to recover and get caught up!

The private party was a blast! A BLACK AND WHITE affair… meaning totally casual or formal, up to them! So we got a vast variety!

So here is the AWESOME part of the night! I didn’t know that this was ALSO a fundraiser for a local charity!

The DJ for the party tells everyone that he has donated $5 to the raffle and that he is donating $20 MORE… to encourage people to donate more money… So I donated $40. (Hehehe) Shelly, the party planner mentions it on the mic and embarrasses me! hahah Welllllllllllllll, toward the end of the night they start telling people it is the last call basically to donate money. Pull the change out of your pockets he says! It goes for a worthy cause! So I grab another $5 and stick it in the pot!

Keep in mind for all of you that know me…. I never EVER win raffles. My Hubster wins everything but I NEVER win those silly things. So… they do the drawing. And what number do they pull??? MINE! MINE MINE MINE! I am thinking YEAH!!!! I am gonna get a really cool Harley shirt or something totally fun! YEAH GO ME!

Uhmm No. It was like $400 in CASH! WHOA! I looked at my husband and said “We just cannot take that money!” He agreed and got the mic from Shelly and told the crowd, “We just cannot take this money. We would like to donate 100% of it BACK to the charity.”

OH MY GOSH! I cannot tell you how GOOD that felt! Here is the charity! Please visit them and give with your heart! http://www.mysistersplacedc.org/

Oh yeah and a picture from the night as well! Sorry!
