Tins for Tots!

For Christmas, we partnered with friends of ours who are also adopting & decided to do a Christmas fundraiser.  What’s one of the best things about the holidays?  D-E-S-S-E-R-T!   We didn’t advertise the fundraiser, but with just a simple word-of-mouth strategy, we asked our friends & co-workers if they’d be interested in purchasing treats. 

We decided to call it ‘Tins for Tots’ (<<thanks Kathe Legg).  Sign-ups lasted about a month & by December 13^th we had 91 orders! We felt the love with every additional order placed. 

How many cookies does it take to fill 91 holiday tins, you ask?  Well…hundreds…& maybe add another couple hundred to that! 

We had many gracious friends help us not only make additional treats, but to also load all of these tins!

 

Jaye not only made cookies, she also helped cover some pretzels in chocolate on the fly!

(I promise we didn’t sample any of these goodies while we worked!!!!!!)

 

 Jesse helped make the marshmallows & then we just organized an assembly line to fill all the tins.

 

What started out as a simple cookie tin idea, developed into tins full of not only cookies but Buckeye’s, marshmallows, & chocolate-covered pretzels.

 

 

After every last treat was distributed & all the tins delivered,  we raised $1,600 towards our adoptions.  How cool is that?!?

Thank you to everyone who ordered tins!  We hope you had a **sweet** holiday season!
