PIR Gift Basket Auction
Hi Ladies,
Some of you may have seen a conversation between other moms, in a different PIR date, on Navy For Moms regarding a gift basket auction at Sarge's Meet and Greet. I thought this would be fun for us to do as well, if we can get enough of us ladies to participate. I believe the idea was to make a basket specific to our state or locale. The proceeds will go to Sarge and his wife for hosting all of us. This would just be on top of our donations for the Meet and Greet in appreciation to them. I think if we could have at least 10 ladies say yes to participating, this would be enough to "go" with. We will need to set a monetary limit to spend on making the baskets, so I will wait to hear your response:) I am signing up to make one basket right now:) Anyone who cannot or does not wish to make a basket, can feel free to bid on the baskets;)
Thanks for any involvement!
ps. Mine will be "Imported from Detroit"

Just wanted to share ...I am having so much fun with putting this basket together and learning so much about my state ... I am so glad I agreed to do this ... Hope everyone else is having as much fun as I am doing the basket.
Thinking my basket theme might be "Eating your way through PA" not sure yet though

I have all the items for my gift basket representing Northern California. My daughter is going to help me make it look pretty.
I am lacking a catchy name! My basket will be full of items made or grown in Northern California and also several patriotic items, including the basket itself.
They only thing I have come up with so far is: "Proud to be Northern California Free!"
Pretty lame, does anyone have any suggestions???
The value of the basket will be $35.00
I will provide a list of items later when I get home.

HA, no it is not lame...I like it! Mine is titled Imported from Detroit, and it isnt even all from Detroit! It was going to be, but I wanted to represent more of the state, so I did:) Go with the name you have:)

Hi Saratoga, and everyone else. I'm kinda of all over our FB page and forget to come on to N4N, I know I posted a while back, but I'm working on So. Cali basket, I know I saw a price range before. It's not to big, but I made it with love, I hope you guys like it. I'm actually having it shipped to the post office in Waukegan they said they will hold for me to pick up. We are flying and baggage is expensive.

I'm with you on that Saratoga. I just want to hold him and smell him. Funny how things are you miss things like their scent, their goofy laugh, or even them trying to annoy you.
