Greetings all,
Welcome to the Qld Flood Appeal Auction at the Posie blog . . . my husband lives in Brisbane so this is my little way to help out with fundraising & letting the people in Qld know they're in my thoughts, all the way from Canberra. My God Mother & her husband have lost their fencing business in Brisbane, water is over the roof of the sheds, all the vehicles are gone & they are expecting 3m more of flood water. They employ half a dozen men who won't be able to work for a long time, people have lost their family income too!!

Is there no end to all the marvellous things you contribute to, Jennie? You are a true superstar.
I was very tempted to be one of your five commenters on your previous post about paying it forward. But then I got gun shy because I'm not that good at making things!! I think I will leave it to the talented.

I'm thinking of your family and your soldier boy Jennie, I hope everyone is safe and dry. Awful to hear about your poor, poor god mother.
I hope your hubby is safe and everyone is doing ok. Really can't believe what has been going on! It's very surreal watching it on tv.
