Gala - Children Today, Leaders Tomorrow

This is my last one of these ever! Yay. This is about the annual black tie fundraiser for dd's elementary/middle school - this one is 2008. I've already done 2009, and we didn't go in 2010 or 2011 - just made donations. Seven of them was enough. Anyway, I didn't take any pictures at this one for some reason. I recall I was pretty cranky that night, lol. But, I have this dopey pic I took in the mirror at home of my dress. There's a glare on the pic, sorry. I tried to cover most of the mess you can see with me in the reflection - this was only a few days after Cassie's birthday, and half her presents are still strewn about the room behind me.

The largest piece of pp forms a pocket for the program (Cassie was one of the kids on the cover), which I cut apart so as to only keep the relevant pages - schedule, letters from school board president & chaplain, menu, pics of the kids, and info on the auction item I bid on and also the one Cassie's class made. I punched a hole in these pages and tied them together with a ribbon. The pocket is machine sewn with a mix of straight and zigzag stitches. I put a strip of lace ribbon along the top.

I started with the September Monthly Sketch Challenge 30-day Sketch-a-thon Day 8 sketch. I had to add another place for journaling. I also moved the title and spread the embellies out. Not my favorite page ever, but one that I'm happy to have DONE.

The journaling says: We ended up going to the Gala at the last minute this year. I bought a dress and had my nails done that morning. The only thing I had to have was the hardbound Letters to God - Cassie talked about Great Grandpa and Johnny in Heaven in her letter. I was in a bidding war with the Molloys in the live auction, but I won it for $800.00.
