Thanks to all of you who helped out with our rummage sale this past weekend. Thanks to generous donors, lots of hard work, and lots of buyers, we ending up making around $800 to go towards Anna and David's mission trips. This was higher than what we originally thought once some additional sales revenues were added in.
Now it is time to start auctioning off more items as we have just over a month to raise the remaining money. Anna still needs about $1500 and David needs just under $1000.
I'm so thankful for the many friends who have donated items for our auctions. Today's offering is a truly unique one. My friend and fellow Mississippi University for Women alum, Audra Odom, is an educator in Scotland. She is donating two Royal Wedding commemorative issues of magazines published there in the United Kingdom. We are going to auction the magazines off separately. Audra is going to ship the magazines to the winners straight from Scotland. That, in my opinion, adds to the coolness of the offering. Getting packages in the mail is always fun but one from Scotland? That just doubles the fun!

Mandy Purvis Heath has bid $20 on the HELLO! issue. Thank you, Mandy! I know you have a heart for missions. Who knew you also had a passion for the Royal Wedding? ;)
I big $25 on the HELLO! issue and $15 on the Woman's Weekly.
WOW, LYDIA! WOW!
Mandy sees Lydia's bid and raises her's to $30. This really is amazing. I was afraid that SEVEN dollars was too high for a starting bid! ;D
Okay, if I'm interpreting this correctly, Mandy will win the HELLO for $30 and Lydia will win the WOMAN'S WEEKLY for $15. Is that right? I'll fb y'all about this.
