Girls Night In

Tea Anyone?
 on Sunday I held my annual Girls Night In. Traditionally as the name implies this is at night time. However this year I decided to do something a little different and had an Afternoon Tea. Everyone brought a plate and my friend Brylee organised some fun games for us. Some local businesses donated goodies for Silent Auctions and we set about enjoying ourselves in an effort to raise funds for Womens' Cancer Research.

The idea is that everyone who attends donates what they would normally spend on going out out somewhere, to the Cancer Council, and to boost the numbers i also have a few things to auction or raffle off. Many of the ladies came in Pink and we had a great time and we had some beautiful gifts too. Tea went by the wayside a bit as we indulged in Pink Champagne. It was a beautiful day nice and warm and sunny, and we had a great time.

The theme was sustainable living and everyone had to bring there best sustainable living tip, and the weather received a gift voucher for 4 hours eco friendly cleaning. We also had a pamper hamper to auctioned off and the delightful Santa seen in the picture below.

Hope your weekend was delightful too.

If you would like to donate some money, or maybe would like to hold a girls night in of your own, you can do so on online here:

Girls Night In

Every October is as most of you probably know the month we collect money for and and devote some time to Womens' Cancer.
I come from a family of all girls, except for my own family, and two of those girls have had to deal with a type of womens' cancer. So in an effort to contribute something to research and finding a cure for this horrible disease I along with a bunch of other women around the country hold a girls night in. Its something I've been doing for a while and this year was my 5th.
I decided that a girls night in is nice and everything but if the boys came we may have a chance at making more in donations and it would also mean those single mums i know dont have to worry about childcare etc. So this year I invited everyone. Girls, guys and kids. We had a BBQ and a couple of raffles and also some silent auctions. All up we managed to raise around $500, and had a lovely night doing it!
Here are some pics of the evening.

Chatting with the girls

Now where's that fire hydrant we had?
