Friday night was the school auction. We went and won nothing that we bid on, which was okay because we don't actually have any money to bid with anyway. Also, it was interesting to note how much inebriated people are willing to spend on anything. Part of the live auction was a dessert auction. Dinner was provided but then you could bid on different desserts to share as a table. Yeah, I thought they might go for like $25-30. Uh, no. One cake went for $330. That's not a typo. Everything else went for the more reasonable sums of $85-125. Needless to say, the mormon table I sat at had no dessert.
The main reason I went to the auction (because I am so selfish) is because I wanted to see how much my projects went for. My window went for $55 - it was in the silent auction. The class projects were all part of the live auction and I kept having to remember to close my mouth because of the amount of money they were going for. It made me a little giddy. The clock was the big loser of my projects and went for $130, the framed 7 picture mat and saying (which was my personal favorite) went for $175, and the flag for $265. Makes $50 a piece seem really reasonable, dontcha think?
I'm not sure how much money was made for the school, but I hope they hit their goal.

If I had money, I'd be richer because I'm a mormon

Good Job. It all turned out REALLY well.
Mormons......I thought we lived for desert. Unfortunately, most of us are too poor to spend more than $5.00 for it (at Red Robin). Oh well, you should have gone there after wards.
Your projects were so good. Glad it went well. Congrats!
Yea for you! You could be rich...start selling on your etsy! I bet before you know it you will be swimming in your money vault like Scrooge McDuck ;)
it is funny how loose drunk people are with their money.
sad but true: drinkers are THE BEST tippers.
congrats on your auction! that sounds cool.
