Diva Night at Rednecks for Gee's Girls :)

Well, we did it! Last Saturday, 29 fantastic women and one fantastic man opened up their wallets and their hearts for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. I've been blogging about this fundraiser for a while now, and I am so proud of how it turned out. We had great fun, great food, great tunes and great people making this day a huge success. We raised $1500 for Gee's girls in all, and I know that these girls are doing something amazing. I am going to provide the links the a couple of their fundraising web pages so that anyone who reads this and wants to be involved can donate online to their efforts, and help them achieve their fundraising goals. Lisa and Jennifer lost their mother to breast cancer just last year, so this is a cause very close to their heart, and I really hope they will be able to exceed their goals this year. This will be the second year for the team in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, and I wish them all the best with their journey. :)

Also I wanted to thank all of the people who donated prizes for the event:

Scrapbook and Smiles and Paula Mason, who donated a huge scrapbooking basket with the Diva theme.

Tara Leigh Designs who donated a beautiful pendant and necklace to one lucky diva

Carolyn McColl, who donated a beautifully decorated scrapbook for the event.

Okay, I know you are all looking for a little dish, and I hate to disappoint! We had our portable studio set up in one side of Rednecks hall, and there was a big poker tournament in the other side. There was oodles of men who must have been wondering what the heck was going on. The pool table was covered, and filled with gift baskets, photo albums, and pink and white balloons! This one player wandered in to our den and got his cool hat stolen right off of his head, and it was used by several of the Diva's in their photos! Later on, he came back to collect his hat, and found himself being worked over by the Diva's. He had won a bit of coin at the poker table, and the girls suggested that he have his photos taken for a small donation to the cause. ;) He asked them: "Why would I want photos of myself?"
They replied: "Well, you can have your photos taken with all of us!"

Our new friend Marco thought that was an offer he just couldn't refuse. We love this guy, and the word on the street is that he *might* just be single. I'm pretty sure I might be able to hook a gal up with the digits if she needs them. ;)
