Bake Sale Fun!

We're only two weeks away from our first MOPS meeting of the semester and I'm so excited!

On Sunday morning, I was able to help out with our first fundraiser of the year and it was so much fun!

We held a bake sale ( my first ever) at the church where we meet for MOPS every other Monday of the month. I had a great time getting to hang out with the girls while we sold a ton of yummy goodies that all of us worked hard to bake.  I spend a good part of Saturday making roughly five dozen cupcakes and had fun using my new french piping tip to ice the cupcakes with my all time favorite buttercream frosting!  I made both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes in and colored the frosting with four different colors.

We had a great assortment of goodies ranging from cookies, to baklava (made by my friend Michelle, which sold out so fast!)...

 My friend Kirstin made the most adorable marshmallow pops and I'm so mad I don't have a close up pic to show you.  They were adorable!

We were able to sell our goodies before and after both services which worked out so well .  When it was all said and done, I was completely blown away by the success of our sale.  We made it by donation and we hoped that would be the best way to do it and can you just guess how much we were able to raise?

$425! So awesome, right?  I was thrilled and amazed at the kindness and generosity of the church. God is so good! :)

I can't wait to start our new semester and I'm so excited to see what the Lord's going to do in each of our lives as we continue building friendships!
