Okay, my dirty 26 year old carpet - another Get R Done project - but we are at the point of needing a new carpet . . . no my carpet isn't orange it's beige - but my camera makes it look that way. The point here is that it is empty of stuff (lol).
I started to gathering things to make baskets for the PTA at my grandson's school to be bid on for the silent auction. I asked for parent help and then I ran all over town asking for donations. 3:13 Hair Salon and Boutique gave me 3 $50 gift certificates! Curves gave me one for $138!
Okay rounded up my daughter and my friend Lynne after the book fair and we made 5 baskets.
My house looked like a blur with 150 books and all the basket items and wrapping paper - but we had so much fun.
Here is the final project -
Took them into school this week and they said Mrs. Boney's 3rd grade class rocks - okay I do get a little competitive at times . . . but I love doing it.
So that project is done and the bidding is this Saturday. I may bid on one or two of my own baskets.

great project and great job. Nice looking baskets. Hope you make a lot of money on them.
So glad I finally got my old carpet out, it feels wonderful, no more sneezing and Hubby being stopped up. And the dust oh my, how great to only have to dust 1 time a week instead of 2 times a day...
Looks like awesome baskets to bid on...what a fun project for you and your gang to get in on and do together!
What a nice thing to do for the school...the baskets look terrific...i hope they all sell and the school makes lots of money for the kids!!
What a great job! You made me laugh with the picture of the carpeting - I thought it was going to be a carpet replacement posting for your project!!! What a hoot! The gift baskets are so cute!!! Thanks for joining GET R DONE FRIDAY!
Thanks we really had fun doing them.
And it should have been about carpet replacement, but that's a whole other story!
Wow! Great looking gift baskets...how awesome to help out at your grandson's school. Wish we lived closer to my mom...she was always doing stuff like that for my school. Thanks for popping over to my place.
peace.
