Farley Campaign Baking

The Farley Campaign kicked off this week so I had to scramble to get my cards together and whip up some baking for their sale.

I got a lot of cards ready to donate with a little help from my friends Keri and Anne Marie on assembly. I'm not sure how the sale went but all the proceeds went to the Farley Campaign at Kingsdale Animal Hospital.
I also put together a nice doggie basket for their raffle...

I was able to whip up a good selection of baked goods to donate as well...

Mmmm, chocolate covered Oreos.

Oh and I managed to squeeze in an amazing get-away to Toronto to see this star in concert...

Did you happen to recognize her surprise guest? Amazing bonus of Keith Urban along with Shawn Mendes and Vance Joy. Incredible night of music.

Donation to Kismutt Animal Rescue

I was able to make a trip over to Kismutt Rescue, St. Marys to drop off the donations from the Fundraiser as well as a few other items that I had collected. Kim was very appreciative of the donations that came in, especially the bleach and other household items. The kennel is always kept impeccably and it requires much diligence and they go through the supplies very quickly. Especially with Mill dogs who are not house trained and have spent most of their lives in cages.

We had so many items that we needed to use a wagon and make several trips.

Kismutt had just saved a couple of sweet pugs from a life of confinement. After only a couple of days, they were happy to have some cuddles and pets before we had to go on our way.

It is so nice to see first hand, how much appreciated the donations are and that they are being put to good use. Thanks to our amazing Fundraising Crop, we were also able to give a cash donation to this Rescue. Makes all the hard work worth it.

Pay It Forward

I am fortunate to have a lot of connections in the community and also many charitable friends who have very giving hearts. They help me so much with my fundraising endeavours and I appreciate them greatly. In the last couple weeks, I received a bunch of stuff that I'm going to see gets a good home. I always like to see things we have outgrown or no longer have a use for go to a good home.

Here's the bags... aren't you curious to see what's inside them?

Yarn, that is going to my Dutch Aunt Amy who knits for charity. A lot!

Fabric that is going to a Ladies Auxilary Quilting group.  

 

Paper crafting supplies that are going to the Altzheimer unit at a Senior's home.

 

I hope you are encouraged to find some use for items that you have on hand. It's very rewarding!
