Well friends we have a date for our Adoption Fundraising Bake sale/Garage sale!!!
(incase you missed it we are pursuing domestic US adoption of a waiting child)

We are going to do September 15th, 2012 at 8-2.....We went back and forth on a location ideal but decided to just do it in our garage/driveway. Possibly the best part of doing it that date is that Makenna and I will be in NY the week before and driving back Monday or Tuesday....soo anyone that wants to donate any baked goods for the sale can send them back with me! So...if you are in NY want to help by baking for us..(and we sincerely hope you do since we aren't the best bakers)...start baking and freezing or mark it on your calendar to bake near then for us. If you are local and want to help we will do drop off the day/evening before for your convenience! Please make sure to make a list of ingredients for your creations as we know several friends with food allergies and want to make sure they can participate if they want to! You can do something as simple as copying a recipe, making an ingredients list and taping to the item, however you want to get creative to help keep everyone safe.

We will also be taking donations for the garage sale....items can be dropped off anytime between now and then and we will store in the garage until sale time. Just contact us for drop off details. Maybe you have an attic full of stuff you don't know what to do with....or a kids closet full of outgrown clothes/shoes...those are hot items at a garage sale in my experience! Any little item is one more dollar toward our adoption expenses!

I was also thinking about doing a raffle at the sale that day...still thinking about what to raffle off that wouldn't cost us much money.....any ideas?? Anyone own a local business they would donate a gift certificate for a raffle? Or have a cool new item that would make a fun raffle item that'd you'd be willing to donate? (kids stuff, adult stuff, spa services, restaurant, the list is endless)
