Fundraiser Fun

A while back (a long while back actually) hubby asked me to make something for a silent auction-type fundraiser for his squadron. I was smack dab in the middle of my month-long blogabration and already had one desk set I needed to make so he had to wait. But this last weekend I finally made a couple of things for him. This desk set is one and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. This set needed a little more than I usually include in my desk sets, due to the fact that this is a FUND raiser after all.

Included in the set are:
Silver mesh letter tray holder
Pen and pencil cup (includes 3 RSVP pens made to match, 3 highlighters and 2 black mechanical pencils)
memo cube
Acrylic frame stand up 2007 calendar (2008 calendar included to switch out)
Round magnetic tin (holds rubber bands)
Note card box (Alphabetized dividers/index cards included)
Magnets in acrylic box
Not pictured here: Small round tin of paperclips








The magnets determined my color scheme and I wanted the set to appeal to everyone...men and women. So, I didn't include flowers or bling. A few quotes on life gave it some interest. I used a variety of black and white papers, brads, ribbons and punches. The only stamping was on the pencil cup.... the quote from Paper Trey set "Little Lady".

I love making these desk sets and each one is so different from the last.
I have to finish my other project for the fundraiser and get some cellophane to wrap this one up in. I've got lots more to share this week so stay tuned!
Blessings~~
