1,000 Dollars earned at our One Year Anniversary Bake Sale!

 The Night before, with all the stuff (mostly boxed) that was brought the day before.
 The beginning of the sale, before anything was sold.
 The middle of the Table. Brownies, mini pies, & little breads!
 The far end of the table. 4 loaves of delicious Challah bread I made!
 And all of it at once, with myself and a friend who stopped in to help. She was there with me most of the day!
 A slogan we came up with. Our marketing strategy had to get better, because there were Girl Scouts selling cookies there as well. They accidentally double booked at the store.
 Scotcheroos and Neapolation Cupcakes, all individually packaged. They sold great!
 Things were pretty slow for a while, but it was booming at the Girl Scout Table. So we tried a different technique. We used pictures of  exactly where our money would go.
 Our quickly assembled poster, which a wonderful friend graciously purchased a board for, then went home and printed pictures!
The Girls Scouts left around 3 o'clock. Not only did more people start coming, but we had a monopoly!
 We even sold some sourdough starter!
 Things started getting slow again.
 So I made a chart box with a shoe box and plastic wrap.
 I filled it in as we earned more and more.
 Then we got that wonderful surprise! THANK YOU, ANONYMOUS DONOR!!!

 My sister, another friend of mine, and the sweet gal who stayed with me most of the day.
Around 3:30, this was all we had left! Something had to be done....

In less than an hour, and a few phone calls later, we had this!!
 Then within 2 hours of the phone calls, I had these brought in too! Our table was completely restocked! 5 wonderful families dropped what they were doing, and with no more than 5 minutes notice, started baking! Can you see the Hand of God?
 Almost there! This was at 5:34 p.m.
 We were getting closer to the goal line!

We did it!!!!! At 7:59 p.m. we made the last sale before we hit 1,000 dollars! It was 1/2 dozen cookies, that I was so excited to hit 1,000, I sold for 25 cents! A good deal for Operation Table Scraps and for her! The only sad part was my dear friend and co-operator, Willow, was out of state, and could not attend. But I took lots of pictures for her! :)

Operation Tables Scraps: Temorarily Derailed

For those of you who just stumbled upon this blog, Operation Table Scraps is a organization run by teenagers. We raise money for Jesus Wells and livestock in third-world countries.... countries where people would do nearly anything for your TABLE SCRAPS! You can read more about us here


So in case you haven't noticed, we have been awfully quiet lately. You see, Willow has been going to a medical center frequently because of her very close family member who is ill. Please pray for her, and her family... I realize I have been very vague, but I am not at liberty to say anymore. Also, my family has experienced a house fire. We are back home now though, and are settling back in. The fire was not very bad, and stayed in the kitchen. Moral of the story? Don't leave with a roast in the oven. Hopefully we will have more news for you this winter!

SUCCESS!!!!!!

Wow!! The dinner went great. :) Here are some of the stats:

People: 40
Money raised: $316
Money needed for a Jesus Well: $1000

Awesome!!!! :) Thanks soooooooo much for everybody that came. :)

God bless,
~Willow

ETA by Sage: We have $10 for a hat/ scarf set coming today, (someone is repaying me for last night) and $50 dollars coming at some point in the future. I'm not sure when, but it's from my Pastor, so I think that's reliable enough ;) This brings our total to $376! That is over 1/3 of the way to a Jesus Well! Alright! (:
