Auctions & Giveaway

I'm working full-time for the next couple of weeks so there has been little time and energy for blogging or crafting this week.

That's me at work, 6 years younger and trying to look sophistocated whilst standing on the side of the road!!

But I just wanted to pop in here to say - how amazing it is that we-bloggers-we have collectively raised $45,000 for the Queensland Flood Appeal.  Again, a huge thanks goes out to Toni and Carli for getting our butts into gear.

One of my auctions still has no bidders.  This photo box may not be the most exciting looking thing on the planet but my word it is useful.  I have one at home and it is fabulous for safely storing photos until you get a chance to put them into albums - and to be honest, I actually have two of these on the go for our photos because I have the best intentions in the world to put my photos into albums but life seems to take over.

Anyway, a big thank you to the generous souls out there who have bid on my other two auctions - vintage sheet layer cake and EQ7 software + book.

And, for anyone still reading this - my 200 post, half-way to 70 birthday giveaway is still open so go and leave a comment for your chance to win.

Queensland Flood Appeal - Auction #3, Creative Memories Large Photo Sort Box

** AUCTION NOW FINISHED**

** Winning Bid = $40 from Jeni**

** THANK YOU ALL FOR LOOKING AND PARTICIPATING **

Up for grabs is a brand new Creative Memories Large "Power Sort Box" - black in colour.  Holds up to 2400 photos - organised in a way that allows you to see exactly what you have, keeping your pictures safe until you get a chance to put them into albums (and much safer for your pictures than an old shoe box)!

My apologies for the photo quality - please click on this link to see what it's all about.
Just remember, this Large Powersort Box holds twice as many photos as the Medium one (and isn't quite as pretty)!

This product is no longer for sale, however the medium box (which is half the size) has an RRP of $49.  Please note, this item ships flat and requires assembly.
