A massive year came to it’s final peak over the weekend with 2 major events. Firstly the Bazaar on Saturday and then Amy’s Birthday on Sunday (see separate post on that one!).

The Bazaar –

Measa and I have worked so hard over the past year to get this off the ground and I can say I am so relieved that it is over. When I take on something like this it all becomes very personal to me. After all, I’ve invested a lot of time, energy, emotion and words into making sure that it would be a worthy event for the school and community. The stall holders, overall, said that it was OK, but it was very quiet in the afternoon. Grand final weekend, Floriade to name just a few major events were what we had to compete with. I’ve always found that it is a certain few that help out willingly every time, but what about all the other families that are at the school? I guess that is what disappointed me the most. Families in the school want to benefit from money raised, and yet barely anyone volunteers to help out with the organisation or on the day help, or worse still they don’t even turn up to have a look and buy something! Anyway, rant over. It was a fun event and I am so thankful to our friends for helping us out and making it that way.
