Pandora Treasure In A Chinese Take Out Box

Hello!

Remember Pandora's Chest?

Well, according to the

Greek Mythology

Pandora opened her chest

releasing all the evils of the world....

BUT...what you 

MAY NOT KNOW

is that when she closed it she left

HOPE inside.

Where did the HOPE go?

Well, at our school fund raiser

that HOPE went right into

these Chinese take-out boxes.

What are you HOPING for?

Well, you are HOPING you win 

this!

MyHero and I sold the boxes for $15 each.

There were only 50 boxes so you had a

one in 50 chance of winning a Pandora piece.

Last year it was a bracelet.

This year it was a Pandora watch valued

at $150.

Inside each box were gift certificates

worth at least $10-

if you didn't win the watch.

The boxes were left on the table 

until all were sold and then all

opened at the same time while

the emcee made the announcement

of the winner.

My daughter, Ms,T, did a 

wonderful job

organizing the school benefit.

A World Tour

They sold food representing each country.

Look where our booth was...

And it was on St. Patrick's Day to boot!

This was Ms T's second year heading it up.

Last year was the largest fund-raiser

they ever had.

We won't know how much this one

raised for a couple of days.

There were all kinds of donated gifts

for silent auctions.

There was a live auction later.

Look at this!

It's a rather large canvas.

SweetCheeks' class made it.

it is made of their thumb prints.

SweetCheeks thumb print is red.

This sold at the live auction part

for almost $1400!

(names are blurred on purpose for the blog)

A great night all the way around.

And this?

Well, MyHero thought he was going to

sell kisses.

He had his chapstick ready to go...

AND his breath mints.

He was a little disappointed that

they put him the Pandora's Box area.

Too bad, buddy!

There's always next year...

maybe you will have your

own booth then.

Meanwhile- you can practice

puckering up!

I'll be in the booth on your

right selling these....

Sign up now, ladies...

you know how long those

lines can get......
