Fundraising!

I know I haven't posted much but by the end of the day, I'm just exhausted. I am slowly working on another fundraiser idea so keep your eyes peeled for when I make the announcement. I need to double check a few things and then will let everyone know. I am excited!!! The fundraisers that we have held in the past have really helped with cutting down expenses with  hay (and the donated hay helps too!!!)

So, this weekend, while in the middle of hanging out with family and celebrating the 4th, I'll be working out some of the details for the upcoming fundraiser!!


And because we are going to have to put in our order for hay soon (if it will stop raining), I want to help offset costs more by doing a bit more fundraising.

We have 4 foot by ?? wooden pallets for sale. I was asking $4 but thinking that's too high. So make me an offer. We also have steel barrels that seal and make great containers for grain or storing winter blankets (so the  mice don't get them!!!) These barrels typically hold four bags of grain so you can stock up when grain is on sale. Barrels are $10-$15. We are also selling bridle/purse charms for $3. Mike is making horse shoe nail crosses for $10. And if you want some horse shoe art, let me know and I'll talk to Mike to see if he can't make some more. We have a horse shoe cross for $35. I know a few people have mentioned that they want certain designs, so remind me and I'll see if Mike can't get to work making them. We also have feed sacks that were repurposed/upcycled and now make perfect bags for hauling anything and everything. I have a few and I LOVE them. They've come in handy for hauling all kinds of different items. If you're interested in an upcycled bag, they are $10-$15. Quite frankly, I wish I had more. I went to a 31Party (where they sell bags) and I would rather have an upcycled feed bag than a 31 bag...cheaper AND more versatile.

We are also looking for an alfalfa supplier so if you know of anyone, let me know. Our old alfalfa supplier dug up all his ground (and he is busy fixing up his place after the tornado ripped through his place ruining buildings).

Mike also sprayed the yard because the  mosquitoes were SO bad. Last night I was able to go outside and actually DO stuff...ok, I just did chores but it was so nice. Now that the mosquitoes are gone, maybe we can start working on projects outside after the little one goes to sleep. We can maybe get to making the Sanctuary not look so dumpy and I can get some of our ToDo list done!
