Dekker’s school recently put together some big hampers filled with all kinds of festive things, and sold tickets to raffle them off. They ranged from wrapping paper to decor to toys and games. We were all given a book of tickets to sell, and in true Hailey fashion, I did not sell them. My mom happily bought a few, and I bought the rest, so I wouldn’t totally neglect the project. Its not that I’m disinterested. Not at all! I just don’t want to constantly ask people to buy stuff from my kids that they don’t really want or need. Being that I have a small handful of children, this will not be the one and only fundraiser we’re ever part of. So I bought them. Not a big deal.
And I won!! Hahaha! I had to laugh! Apparently it paid off to be a tad lazy and not get out there and sell those tickets, because I won! The school called yesterday, and I was told I had one a hamper. She didn’t know which one off hand, but I should come collect it when I dropped Dekker off at school next.
I ran into Kim at the school this morning when I dropped Dekker off, I mentioned to her that I was going to go to the main office and ask where to pick up my prize. One of the staff members was arriving right then and told me to just go with her. So I did.
And I am SO pleased to have won the basket that had caught my eye among them. The baking basket!!! It contained the following items:
A polar bear cookie jar
A small cake stand
Snowflake oven mitts, pot holders, and towels
Two cake mixes
One cookie mix
One muffin tin
One cookie sheet
Sprinkles
One icing tub
One baking powder
Maple Butter
Caramel Butter
Coffee art stencils
Assorted cookie cutters
A rolling pin
Measuring spoons
four scrapers
Two lifters
Two whisks
Six packs of cupcake liners
Frozen cupcake toppers
There was only one weird thing in there, which was utensil in the shape of a devil. I actually had to kind of laugh. Not the most festive of contributions, but thats cool, haha! To each their own! I had a nice time disassembling it and putting things where they go. Its nice to win once in a while 🙂
Thanks to the sweet kiddos for putting together this loaded basket of fun for us!! Perhaps I’ll whip up that cookie mix and hoard them in our new cookie jar!
