Fundraising
We are ready to start fundraising for our adoption. Adoption is a very expensive process and while our agency has waived their fees due to us adopting a child with special needs, we still are probably looking at close to $15,000 in expenses. I'm looking for ideas of how people have fundraised in the past ... help!

My friends cousin had a spaghetti dinner at their church and raised quite a bit of money. Although, I (and so many people who love you!) live too far to come for spaghetti! LOL! I'm curious to see what people suggest!
Ours so far have been the following:
I make cakes for family, so I offered to start making them for people outside of family. Anything they wanted and the price depends on the "art" involved.
We are having a HUGE yardsale the first weekend in June, and all proceeds are going towards our adoption. We have made it know that this is a Charity Yard sale and have posted on community forums for our neighborhood and will use signs, etc., with her picture on them to allow a face with a name.
We also are using Revoltion Money Exchange and Chip In (attached to a paypal account) to gather donations as well, along with the FSP on Reece's Rainbow.
I'm still searching for other ideas as well... but these are just a few that are somewhat working for us.
