I’d like to thank everyone for participating, not just in my raffle, but in all the Auctions and Raffles that went on all over crafty blog land in the last couple of weeks to raise money for the flood victims. It really helps restore ones faith in humanity.

There are good people out there.

*loves you all*

Running out of time!

The Raffle to raise money for the QLD flood relief is still going but ends Monday, 24th, at 9am. If you have yet to enter just head to this post and follow the directions. The clean up efforts are just monumental, and every little bit helps.

Don’t forget if my wee Monsters aren’t to your liking there are many other crafty blogs involved who are making all different kinds of things to help with the Relief effort.

So far the combined efforts of all the blogs has raised over $45,000! Go Team Crafty Blogs! 😀

Not entirely expected!

Such a weekend you never did see! Well, I did, and you might have, if all of your circumstances came together like ours did! You know when you see a stuffed life sized tiger in a white hearse that you’re in for something a little different!

We had an Adventure all planned out, and at the last minute decided that this really may not be the perfect weekend for that particular Adventure. The weather was not cooperating with us.

So we decided to go play tourist instead by purchasing some tickets to the Sydney Aquarium with some left over holiday money we had.

We got there about lunch time, and there were queues, and we were dispirited, so we decided to find food, re-group, and come up with a new plan. We re-grouped here;

Such a steak you never did eat before! So tender, so juicy, so LARGE!

Three hours later, the queues to get into the Aquarium had mysteriously vanished, so we thought we’d try our luck!

We saw Dory

The rules are simple –

The Raffle starts now.

An entry in the raffle is going to cost you $5 paid directly to the Flood Relief Appeal. (If you can afford more than $5, please think about making a more significant donation.)

On that site you can make an online donation, and once you are done you will get a receipt number.

You then need to stop over here, and leave a comment with your receipt number and email address and you will be entered. It’s that simple.

The Raffle must end on Monday 24th at 9am.

At the close of the Raffle, I will contact the winner and the Monsters will be winging their way to one lucky person. I will cover postage anywhere in the world.

If my prize doesn’t interest you , there will be raffles, auctions and sales popping up all over blogland – Just pop on over to Make It Perfect blog on Friday when the master list will be up.

Please help. Please spread the word.
