Cookie Recipe

Here's the recipe for the cookies at the crop over the weekend.  Both Celeste's orange cookies and my chocolate-peanut butter chip cookies were actually made from the same cake mix cookie recipe.  She used orange cake mix, I used devil's food.  She said she often drizzles melted chocolate over the orange as well...

One Cake Mix, any flavor

2 eggs

1/3 cup of oil

One cup of any addition...chips, M & M's, raisins, etc

Mix it all together and drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes.  

These are super easy & good!  My kids make them all the time for events that they go to.

Saturday's Crop

Here are some pictures from Saturday's crop.  I originally pulled my camera out early because I just had to get a picture of Meg with her yarn.  She drove three hours to spend time with her friends and crochet blankets, a true friend!  Unfortunately, I forgot to grab my camera the rest of the day, so I don't have pictures of everyone (some people were up and about or not there yet when I took pictures).

Between cropping fees and the silent auction, we raised over $1200 to go to Deb to help with her Bone Marrow transplant related expenses.  My thanks to all of you who helped...

I was out of the building by 9:15...which never would have happened without help!  This crop was truly a group effort by many people!

Silent Auction on May 2nd

We'll be holding a silent auction during the all day crop on May 2nd.  Even if you can't join us for the crop, you're welcome to come in, buy tickets and drop them into the bags for the prizes you'd like to win.  Tickets will be 2 for $1.00 or 15 for $5.00.  Here are some of the prizes that you can bid on...more donations of prizes are on their way.  Thanks to Keri Gray for the donation of much of what you see here!

You can still sign up for our May 2nd Crop.   We'll have a silent auction with lots of goodies to bid on.  There's also a Make N Take included...a chipboard album for your favorite mother, sister, daughter or friend.  Several different print choices will be available.
