Southern Spun Sweet Georgia Treats

‼️💜Please Share Everywhere!💜‼️

UPDATE: We just have a few more days until ordering ends! Please continue to share this post and maybe even place an order if you're able. We hope to finish strong and show support as a community in memory of Daniel and to the family!

Below I am sharing scripture that I came across last night, which left me compelled to share it with all of you. I believe it was a gift to be passed along, just as Daniel so beautifully shared scripture with so many of us. There is also a song that was inspired by these beautiful and true words that I will link below in memory🙏🏻

On behalf of Southern Spun and The Thompson's, I can't express how grateful we are for all of you showing up to support as you have. We humbly & greatly appreciate it! We'd like to thank everyone who participates and shares this post from the very beginning. In the spirit of Daniel, I want to encourage you to read your bible, get to know Christ if you don't have a relationship with him, and live through his will. So that we can all reunite in a place that is so perfect and free of the pain & struggles of this world🙏🏻🫶🏻

Psalm 27: 13-14
What, what would have become of me, had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living.

Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

We are running an online fundraiser for Daniel Thompson. Daniel battled a rare form of cancer for quite some time. He is now no longer in pain, and I have no doubts that he is with our Lord and savior! His journey was beyond inspiring and he always stayed strong in his faith, and was a constant witness to others. I never heard Daniel speak and not mention Christ or scripture. Please keep his family in your prayers in the coming days, weeks, and months. We are honored that Daniel gave his blessing for us to coordinate this and we will finish in memory of him.

Orders can be placed in the comment section of this post only, to keep everything organized.

Ordering will end on Monday, February 10th at 10pm, and delivery will take place on Saturday, February 15th at 4pm. We will meet in the parking lot behind Arby's in LaFayette to distribute all orders.

Payment is requested in advance so we'll know exactly how much product will need to be made. Don't worry though, you'll have until February 10th to pay for your order. As each order is paid for, I will reply to your comment with "Paid", to lock your order in and to keep things organized as well. We will be taking payments through Venmo & PayPal only. The information for those will be posted below.

Daniel had an unwavering strong spirit. Despite the pain he was in, or how bad he felt..his faith in Christ and the desire to share that with others was beyond inspiring. His strength and positivity was infectious. Let's come together as a community to show his family love and support during this time. Half of all proceeds will go to Daniel's trust fund. The information and details of that will be provided for transparency after the fundraiser ends.

Payments can be sent to through PayPal & Venmo. If you can't pay now, that's fine! Go ahead and put your order in, and you have until February 10th to pay for it. If you don't have the ability to pay through either of these services, we will set it up for you to pay in cash on the day of delivery😊

If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message! We're excited and look forward to sharing some sweet treats with everyone who participates! I'm looking forward to this one, and excited to fire the machines up for someone with such a deserving heart, and unwavering presence of strength, faith, & hope!
Thank you all in advance for the support!

*The cocoa bombs are hot cocoa, marshmallows, & a few sprinkles wrapped in cotton candy😊

I wanted to leave an update here for everyone because I see the page is still getting daily views. I unfortunately suffered an unexpected heart attack the day before my birthday. Prior to that, I spent a year away from social media. I used that time for self-care and to restructure the business, and had just started things back up a couple of weeks before the medical incident. I want to apologize to those of you who have reached out for services, but I do have plans to start serving the community again. I just have to be sure I have fully recovered and that I am ready to fully commit and be able to serve you all as I should. I'm planning for early Spring, but I'm hoping I will be able to get back at it before then.

I want to thank all of you that have been there to support small business such as Southern Spun Sweet Georgia Treats, and I hope to be able to provide you with even better tasting, fresh cotton candy in various and new, exciting ways. I also plan to offer other sweet treats (Reason for the name change). I look forward to serving you all and helping to make your parties and events fun and exciting for all in attendance. Thank you all so much for your continued support! Keep an eye on the page and for update posts. I plan to have a solid year in 2025, full of great service and the tastiest, freshest cotton candy and other sweets ever! I will be offering cotton candy cakes, as well as other party favors when I start back up. Please share this post to spread the word. I am thankful for the support you all have always given, and look forward to continuing to provide better service than ever next year!

We lost a loved one this week. We are focusing on supporting the family and going through the process of when such an unfortunate, but inevitable part of life happens. Please be patient and I will get back to you as soon as possible if you have reached out. Thank you for understanding❤️

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Pharoahs Car Club Of Choo-Choo, TN for having us out for their "Cruizin' The Depot" car show in downtown Ringgold this evening. There were some NICE vehicles, and everyone was so inviting and friendly. We look forward to arriving earlier next month and getting a closer look at some of the vehicles. The rain held out just long enough for everyone to get to enjoy the evening! We were so busy that I only had a chance to take one picture, but it was one of the coolest cars there! Thanks again to everyone involved!

Southern Spun Cotton Candy lovers...Plan to come out next month on the first Saturday! We will be there with the big setup next time. Come take a stroll down main street, see some cool cars, and support surrounding communities in several ways!

*Also a big thanks to Randi Butler Richardson & her husband for sharing their huge canopy that kept everyone dry when the rain came in! The snow cone was REALLY good too! You have your flavoring perfected👌🏻If you ever hear of them being at an event, run and get one of their snow cones. They are reasonably priced and good servings. We enjoyed working alongside y'all and getting to see your awesome setup! It's always a pleasure working with vendors who care about making products as affordable as possible so that everyone can enjoy the sweet treats!😊👏🏻💙🩷

Here are some throwback pictures to a party I did where I had the spinning machine AND the beast bagging machine set up together. I can serve any group, small or large. Reach out to discuss the details. I am working on a new menu/price list to post soon. Get those Saturdays and Sundays booked while you can! We look forward to making your day even more exciting!🌪💞😁🥳

Do you love cotton candy? Who doesn't?! I would like to let everyone know that I am available for private parties (with 2-3 week advance notice), as I have some larger events coming up..and I would love to help make that special person's day more exciting!
Check out the page and send me a message if you are interested or have any questions. You can also email me at [email protected]. Humidity levels(not temperature)are not good for cotton candy, but it gets eaten so quickly that the humidity won't stand a chance☺️ I have a spinning and bagging machine to handle any size crowd that your event will have in attendance. I can also offer prepackaged goodies for any event!

I was inactive on my personal and business page for 1 year due to health issues, but now that I have had everything taken care of, I miss spinning and making people smile..so I decided it is time to get back at it! I am not making cakes currently due to humidity levels, but I intend on offering those in the coming months as the levels drop. My flavor list is below in the photos, but it changes constantly, and I can offer just about any flavor you could imagine! How often can you get fresh cotton candy, in flavors you've never had, handed right to you fresh out of the machine?😁 I hope to be able to serve you soon! Please hit the like button on the page, if you haven't already. I am 2 away from 1,000 likes! Also, please share this post to help get the word out. I appreciate all of your past and continued support🌪💞😊
