 Debbie Rawson told about
Pinterest.  It is a website that has ideas
and you have to ask for an invite. Then
they will send you an email with the invite info
then you can setup your account.  You can follow
others.  I think you have to have a Twitter or
Facebook account.  There are good ideas for
all kinds of things.  Sewing, food, quilts, crafts
anything you can image.

CHINESE AUCTION
We had so much fun until Alice didn't
win anything.  Everyone bought tickets
5/$1 and then went around and put the
tickets in the bags that they wanted to win.
Then when everyone was done putting
their tickets in, the drawing started.
So much fun.  Of course one side of
the room won more than the other side.
There was some really great things is win.
Fabric, notions, quilt books. . .

Debbie was the biggest winner.  She even
won a bag to put all her winnings in.  Of
course she won big, because she bought
$20 in tickets (100).
