Getting Closer!

We are getting closer!!!! I can't believe it! When we started this adoption in December of 2011, the end of it seemed SO FAR AWAY!! And now.....oh my goodness! I still have so much to do.

Everyday I am checking things off my "to do" list. But somehow my list keeps growing. I scratch something off, but then add two more things to it. At this rate I don't know if it will all get done. But at least I'm trying. Today has been pretty successful. I actually got a lot done. Go me!! :)

I would like to do one last fundraiser. We haven't done too many for the adoption. We had two garage sales and a t-shirt fundraiser. I think that's all. I had all these great plans for fundraisers, but then time got away from me. All money from this fundraiser will go towards our orphanage donation, which is around $5,600.

So, I saw this great idea on one of my Facebook groups. This family was doing a puzzle fundraiser. How neat is that?! So, right now I am searching for the "perfect" puzzle. I want it to be very special to Aubrey.

Here's the concept:
You can sponsor a piece of the puzzle for $10. (If you would like to donate more, go right ahead!) We will write your name on the back of the puzzle piece. You can sponsor one piece and have your family name on the back of a piece, or you can sponsor a piece for each family member. Once the puzzle is complete, we will assemble it, have it framed and hang it in her room.

To sponsor a piece:

~ You can give your donation to me in person.

~ Mail a donation (please send me a private message on facebook for mailing address)

~ Look over to the right of this page. There is a "Donate" button that you can click on. It will bring you straight to my paypal account.

Don't forget to let me know the name you would like on the back of the puzzle piece!!

I just want to thank everyone that has helped with any kind of donation, whether it has been large or small. Every single dollar adds up. If you think about it, if every single friend on my facebook page gave $10, it would be more than enough for our orphanage donation. So, if you would like to help us out, go on over and sponsor a puzzle piece for my girl! Thank you!! :)

 

I can't even begin to tell you how excited (and nervous) I am to meet this sweet little girl!
