It's been awhile...it's been busy around here! We are overjoyed to be through with 2013, and excited for what 2014 will bring us! Instead of the laundry list of things that went wrong in 2013, we are focusing on what went right -- our decision to pursue this adoption journey. This year promises to bring lots of fundraising opportunities and I'm spending this weekend celebrating Spring and kicking off our Baby Bottle Boomerang Fundraiser! What's that you ask? How many of you have a basket, bowl, bucket, or some other vessel sitting around your house with loose change in it? I think we all do -- I'd like to collect that change from you! In a baby bottle! My brother surprised us at Christmas and kicked this off for us by handing over a blue bottle (he's hoping for a BOY!) full of his spare change. It sits on my desk as a constant reminder of how much, so little can mean to someone else. This bottle of seemingly insignificant change means we are a few dollars closer to meeting our goal. (Insert sappy Sarah McLaughlin music here). We are truly blessed by the already generous support that we have received. I also know that spring brings a season of cleaning...or at least that's what my momma led me to believe! So, I
challenge you to clean out those couch cushions, those old coat pockets, and in between the seats in your car. Collect all of that seemingly insignificant change and store it in a bottle! I've got several to hand out to help you get started. All of which were donated to us for the purposes of this very fundraiser, and will then be passed down to the next family. We can hand deliver or mail to you, just let us know what you prefer. Or you can help build this beautiful fundraiser and donate a bottle that you have purchased (they have them at the dollar store) to help build the stash of bottles for families to come.
Our Etsy shop also remains open, for those of you in need of a Spring treat! We've added some new items for the Spring! Please share our link, this shop has already led to several dozen midnight candy making fests, but it has brought us nearly $700!
