Fundraising

Thank you all so much for your excitement and encouragement about our adoption!

Announcing the adoption was the fun part.
The part that feels a little more overwhelming is coming up with the $30,000 to $40,000 we are going to need to pay for the adoption (since we don't really have that much spare money lying around at this point).  But actually, I am really excited about this part.  I'm excited to see the ways that God shows up to make this adoption happen.  Because I know he will.

We are going to work our butts off to bring in as much money as we can, and we already have lots of ideas for ways we can raise some extra money.  But, we know we will not be able to do it on our own.

We are going to need help.  So, if you are interested in helping out in any way, I am going to be sharing lots of opportunities here on the blog, and don't worry...they won't all involve forking out money.  There are some ongoing things in the sidebar on the right that can be done at anytime, like shopping in our etsy shop, buying coffee from our site, or donating through PayPal or WePay.  

Our first fundraising event is going to be on Tuesday, March 12.  My sister and I are going to have a booth at the Crossline Church Spring Boutique.  We will be selling a variety of handmade accessories, and we will also have a nice selection of Plum Paper products!  Of course, there will be lots of Caramel Cup goodies, including cupcakes and our famous caramel and chocolate covered pretzels.  All profits will go towards our adoption.  So, stop by if you'd like!

If you happen to be talented at making anything that we could sell and would be willing to donate some items, we would LOVE it!  
As much as I wish I was good at making stuff, I know there are people out there who are much much more talented than I am.  

Feel free to spread the word about our adoption and pass along our blog address.  We could use all the prayers and support we can get!  We just ordered these postcards to help get the word out...
So exciting!

  4. An amazing testimony on on how i conceive, also cure from fibroid, i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Priest Babaka has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Priest Babaka, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week. Contact Priest Babaka for your own testimony via Email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com Or Facebook at priest.babaka
