Two young sisters from Lindsay area raise funds selling their DIY cookie kits on Facebook "When COVID hit back in March, we decided to make some DIY cookie kits and post them on Facebook for the girls' friends to purchase and then watch the girls' live instructional video to learn how to decorate them," Jenn says. "We thought that this would be a fun activity to do to help keep everyone busy while social distancing. They ended up being a hit. Even people we didn't know were purchasing them." The girls quickly sold out of their first spring DIY cookie kits in early April, and then sold out their Easter DIY cookie kits -- and donated all $560 of the proceeds to Kawartha Lakes Food Source. With the help of their mom Jenn, sisters Ella and Myriah Mason launched Sweet Things Bakehouse from their home in Oakwood, east of Lindsay in Kawartha Lakes, in late March. The girls have raised over $1,100 for two local causes.
