So excited! I know last year there were a few different baskets of items up for auction at the party. A really cool coffee basket with different types of coffees and some cookies and really cool mugs. A baby basket. And some others too!

This year we've added a few new types of baskets. One if my favorite! The American movie basket. It will be filled with all sorts of candies you can't buy here and you love to have with you at the movies. Not sure of all the details but I feel pretty confident twizlers and mild duds and maybe even snow caps are in the basket. For a sugar junkie like me this is a great thing. Oh, and even some movies too!!

Make sure you come to the party! Lots of super cool things are being auctioned off!

Oh I also know of another really cool prize from a make up artist in town.

She will do your makeup for a very important night out in town. I think that is a cool gift too! I want my make up done professionally so I look like those girls on TV....all dark smokey eyes and long long lashes!!!

A hat box? In my mind I see me carrying some big hat box (like in an old black/white movie where women wore lots of hats!) around town for my dog!!

Soooo not going to happen. She's already considered a princess - imagine me with a big hat box walking down 5th after my dog! (in her rhinestone encrusted tshirt!)
