Christmas Shopping with a purpose and a give away!

Check out the bottom of this post for the Giveaway!
Linny over at a place called simplicity and Stacy at my cupoverfloweth had a great idea about giving with a purpose.  They have set up a page that is full of families selling items to raise money to adopt.  So this is our family's fundraising page. I plan to use her site for most of my Christmas shopping. So here is a little about our precious treasure that we plan to add to our family.  My husband and I have hearts for the orphans of this world.  After we had our first two children we knew that if our family would ever grow it would be through adoption.  There are so many children in the world that need a family and we want to make one less. We first started our journey trying to foster to adopt an older child that had less of a chance at being adopted.  This ended in tragedy which you can read about here.  All along we were interested only in older children because we felt that is where the need was so when we realized that it wasn't safe to take in an older child when we had little ones in the home we started researching.  We quickly realized that there is a great need for homes for African American and Biracial babies to be adopted.  We prayed and felt at peace about this decision.  We are soooo excited and we can't wait to meet our newest family member.  I definitely feel paper pregnant.  There is a very short wait time for these babies so the sooner we raise the ransom the sooner we can love on our treasure.

To the right you can see the items I currently have for sale.  I am selling T-shirts and jewelry.  The t-shirts all say love one another on the front and have Isaiah 1:17 written on the back.   I just got the shirts in and I will post better pictures of people wearing them next week.  If you would like better pictures of any of the items just let me know.  When you order a shirt just message me what size you want in the shipping notes.  I can also get these shirts in different colors so just message me if you have any special requests. The jewelry I am selling is beautiful, handmade one of a kind magazine bead necklaces made by the women of Uganda.  By buying these items, you can help them feed their families three meals a day. You help send their children to school. You help empower these women. Below I have some up close pictures of the necklaces.  I will be getting more necklaces in next week and some t-shirts so keep checking back for new items.
