Update on Raffle

We need to raise quite a bit of shipping for the NEW DAY project so we have had an item added to our raffle. I have a few more items that I will be adding soon I hope.

Right now we still have Dress #1. This is a size 2T and it is handmade!

Now I want to add something I am so EXCITED about...if you read Carrie's blog you  might remember when she got a gift from a friend here in the states. It was scripture for her wall...if you were like me you were thinking, "I wish I knew who that was I would love to get one of those for my wall!!" Well the woman behind the beautiful word art is Valerie and she has donated a wall art to our raffle. The winner will get to chose between two scriptures and two color choices black over white or black over gold...

Option 1:

Verse: "They will know us by our love."

Size: 28" width
Colors: Black and White or Black and Gold to winner's specs!

Option 2:
"For I know the plans ..."
Size: approx. 34" width
Colors: Black and White or Black and Gold to winner's specs!

What a great prize! Thanks Valerie!!! (Can I just pause here to say I have met some of the most wonderful people on this journey! God continues to send me "sisters" along the way to remind me that I'm not in this alone... Julie, Valerie, Chrystie, Kelli, Tara (both of you), Tina, Jeanette oh I could list names all day but you guys know who you are and more than that God knows who you are! But Valerie has done something no one else has...she joined me on my CHOCOLATE fast...lol!!! Thank goodness that only lasted one weekend! Anyway what I really want to say is thank you all SO VERY MUCH!)





Ok so back to the reason for this post...do you want one of the items I listed above? If so you must "buy a ticket" you do so by donating at least $2.00 and putting Raffle...and the item you want (either dress, or wall art) in the notes of your donation. We will be charged a small fee by Pay Pal for each donation so if you want to donate more that would be great!!! Thanks for your support!!!

Where we stand!

I just want to take a minute to let you all know where we stand with all of our projects.

NEW DAY!

We have $251.86 toward our goal of $1500 for shipping for our New Day project. This leaves $1248.14 to be raised in the next 30 days. I know that looks big but I trust God to give us the ability to raise these funds.

So we are going to do a couple of things to try to raise that money.

1. We have donation buckets set up at local business if you know of somewhere else we should put a bucket email me.

2. Starting today anyone that comments on this post and says that they have blogged about our frieght need or have sent out a mass email about the need will be entered in a drawing to win this dress:

Isn't it so cute! It is a size 1 ( chest size 18 "), it is a pattern from the hand made dress website (also an adoption family ). We want to thank Kathy at inthewaitingadoption.blogspot.com for making this dress for us along with dress #1 that is currently being raffled off. Here is Dress #1 again just in case you missed it:

You can win Dress #1 by donating $2.50 or more with the Pay Pal button. For everytime you donate that amount and put Dress #1 in the notes you will get your name in the hat for Dress #1 I will draw for both of these dresses on December 3rd at the Wrapping Party! I will post the winner the same day!

Unfortunatly at this time I have had no donations for the milk program. Please forward our information to anyone that you think might wish to help.

YWAM

We have 12 more Gimbie children to get sponsored.

I am working on sending "care bags" to the Gimbie children I still need 25 of the following Items for the bags:

Boys T-Shirts

Boys Underware

Socks

If you can provide some of these items please email me at sdrgodsgirl@yahoo.com

Unfortunatly at this time I have had no donations for the food program. Please forward our information to anyone that you think might wish to help.

Please feel free to email me with any questions!

Meeting Results and Dress Raffle (Updated to add dress size!)

The meeting went well we had a good turn out especially since it was very short notice. We got all of the donation boxes made and I hope to get them placed in the morning. Things are very busy around my house right now. My husband is in MAJOR training for work until December 11th. He is leaving early in the morning and doesn't get home until pretty late most nights. Also getting the kids back into the routine of school after a week off sick and a week off for Fall Break is interesting to say the least! All of this coupled with it being the fourth quarter which is the one time of the year that I am expected to put in full time hours translates to it being a bit crazy around here! With that said, if you send an email or make a comment and I don't respond immediately please don't think I have went MIA...I'm probably just trying to find my computer that is hidden by some stack of paperwork to be completed!


On another note, we have had two dresses donated by a very generous lady named Kathy. This is the first beautiful dress! This is a size 2T and it is handmade! We will hold a raffle for this dress beginning Monday. For every $3 you donate your name will be added to the hat once. I will draw a winner on November 1st. Thank you for your participation!
