thank you.

Friends, family& people we don't even know ~

Thank you so much for participating in our adoption auction. 
The auction was successful beyond what we even hoped for.
The amount we earned is more than enough to pay for the completion of our home study!

We are incredibly grateful for the role that each of you have played in uniting our family.

Those who donated - words cannot express our gratitude.
Please be sure to check out all our awesome donors - go to their websites & give them lots of business. :)

From the depths of our hearts - thank you.

sneak peek 10

2 days til the auction! 
Helpful hint: Tomorrow night, all the posts will be available for viewing!!

Today's preview is a painting by one of my students.
The painting is of a picture I took in Ethiopia.
And I almost started crying when I saw it.
The pictures do not do this portrait justice...
...stunning.

We have already secured some awesome donations,
but we are asking for YOUR help to make this a success!

If so, please leave a comment with your email address,

introducing...

I'm so excited to share my latest business venture: Sweet Bo Peep!
(because I don't have enough blogs going right now.)


Sweet Bo Peep is a place for me to sell some of the dresses & onesies I make - all profit will go to our adoption account.

Currently, there is one item for sale, so get it while it's hot!

Thanks for supporting my creative whims and our adoption!
