Excited and Terrified...

Excitement (and exhaustion) abound in our house today. We held our Bunnings Fundraising BBQ yesterday at Nerang. The day was fantastic, raising just under $1000 for Ayla's ABR But that's not all that has created excitement in our house. We're excited and humbled and blessed and extremely thankful for the wonderful show of support that we had for the BBQ. Friends, family and the amazing team at Wealthfarm Financial Planning all descended on Bunnings yesterday, helping out on the Barbie or just rocking up to buy a sausage. We had good friends from our Mountain home come down early to get the day started. Thanks so much Mark and Mick. Mum and Dad came down from Bundaberg to help out. At one point we had 6 members of the Wealthfarm team manning our stall at one time. I found myself standing back lost for words at their show of support and feeling more than a little emotional at how blessed we were to have them.

Bec, Nicole and my Aunt and her friend came on for the afternoon shift and clean-up and our friend Heather arrived in the afternoon to help too only to find that there were plenty of hands to help finish the afternoon off. Thanks Heather for offering your help....sorry we sent you home :)

And still, the excitement doesn't end there...but this is also where the terror comes in. On Thursday, I received an email to advise me that I had finally been successful in my application to have a stall at Mathilda's Market!!!!! What's that? Only one of the most exclusive Baby and Kids Designer Markets in the COUNTRY!!!! And my little fundraising venture, Don't Tell Mamma, will be there trying to keep up and mix it with the big fish...enter little nervous giggle. I'm very excited and VERY TERRIFIED!!! I have next to no stock after Christmas and only 1 month to produce oodles of stock that hopefully will meet and exceed expectations. Wish me luck and don't be surprised if I appear to be missing over the next 4 weeks.....
