Well, if a good old fashioned bake sale doesn't get you in the mood for the season, what will? I admit, when I helped wrap up all the baked goods, it did make me a little more "in the mood"...I'm not quite ready to put the apron on and start baking but I'm feeling it a little more...
Instead of making baked goods for the school carnival, my sister and I teamed up and made jars of cookie mix. It was really fun to do and I used up some of my Christmas stash from last year, and the year before and the year before!!
I made a sign for the jars out of a cookie sheet from the dollar store.....Just painted it white (using spray paint) and put the Daisy D's letters and paper on it... I didn't have a price yet, cause we weren't sure how much we were going to sell them for. Anyway, I went to the school this afternoon to help with the set up and already just to the volunteer Moms, they are almost sold out....we started with 22 and now there is just 7 left..the bake sale doesn't start until tonight....
Here is a link to my post on 2peas with the recipes and info!
Update~~~~~~~~~~All the cookie mix jars sold out and were a big hit!!
