Betty--
Such beautiful fall colors on all the trees in your second photo!!!!!

Did I post the dried/silk arrangement i made just last week to donate to HD for out Employee Fund to raffle off and raise some money?
I also did a baking basket......A nice basket full of goodies and supplies for baking.
Cost me about $45 for both--and I baegain shopped a lot---good at that!

THEN---one of the regional HR's was at the store and said we could not raffle anything off--as that was considered gambling!!!! Geez! How silly is that? So--instead--we held one (of many) lunches that the EFC prepared and for which they asked/charged a $5 donation and everyone that bought a lunch got a ticket for both of those hand-made things and then they did a drawing for the winner.

NOT what I had intended--but so be it in the silly world of those that make and enforce unreasonable rules.....

Here's the fall arrangement.....
