Trivia Night Basket

I have a friend who needs prayer. She is about my age and has 3 kids, exactly one year older than my kids. They are 2, 4, and 5. Last summer she was having terrible headaches while out of state visiting relatives, and they found a large brain tumor. She had surgery, radiation, and is now undergoing chemo. She says she is about 90 percent recovered from the surgery, her hair is growing back, and she is very positive. Medically, her prognosis is not good. I'm not giving up on prayer, though. She is supposed to be on chemotherapy the rest of her life--except for breaks just to let her body rest from the medication. Her name is Michele, and I would love it if all of you "praying types" could lift up her and her family.

To help Michele's family with their medical bills, our MOPS group is having a trivia night in a couple of weeks. Each discussion group donated money for a basket to sell at a silent auction. Our group's theme is "kids' crafts." Oh, how fun it was to fill a basket at Michael's with mine AND other people's money. Seriously, I could do this for a living. Just give me a theme and some money, and off I would cheerfully go.

Here is our final product. It has Styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, glue, pom poms, construction paper, lion scissors, glitter glue, modeling clay, feathers, stick-on gems, a foam puppet kit, beads, various sizes of googly eyes, and a Crayola Color Wonder set. I'm so excited about it. I'm hoping it brings in big bucks for Michele's family.
