Here it is the holiday season and once again I have not had the time to indulge my interest in creating things for the bazaars. But that has not stopped me from being creative and finding all kinds of ways to use my ideas. In some ways have the one easy out flow blocked has created many smaller and manageable outlets. (or at least manageable so far)
As many of those who read my blog know I have been spearheading the fund raising efforts for our school garden. Those of you have known me a long time know that I am rather a shy salesperson and I find myself reluctant to ask other to do what I would prefer not to do. So the packaged fundraisers were not on my list.
Small efforts such as a donations table at all parent events and keeping a wiki, and asking for donations have all garnered us a fair amount of money. Our biggest efforts though will be in the form of a spring bazaar.
Nothing small about this effort though. I want it to be well worth the price for vendors and well worth the effort for attendees. The simple reason beyond the need for the money is that I want to create an event that serves the whole community and becomes my legacy to this place I live.
And yet in spite of all the time and energy it is taking and will take to pull this event off I still find myself with the flow of ideas unabated.
Gifts for family, food for parties, uses for the oak trim I picked up, making a garden birdbath and mosaic gazing ball sculpture. knitting patterns, creating a Facebook page for the garden committee, writing that article on recycling...
I guess it would not make sense to fear running out of ideas, because there will always be more coming or at least some I can try out.
