The VFW had a HOSPICE benefit on Sat. and I made a dog and a cat gift basket for them to auction off. Well, who knew my little ol' baskets would raise so much money. They sold for $55 each!!! Last year I made a basket with bath & body works products and it only went for $25 and the year before I made 2 scrapbooks that were all red, white and blue and they went for $35 each. I guess animal items are the way to go.
The dog basket had 2 picture frames, 3 bandanas, 3 toys, shampoo, 2 bags of homemade treats and a squashbook that I made.
