For a fundraiser for our adoption we are doing a Christmas Tree Wreath Fundraiser! We will get the profits of what we sell. These trees are deluxe mixed greenery. (the event picture is one i found online, not of the actual wreaths that will be made).
Here are the prices: (measurements are from the outside edges)
Small (14 inches) $15
Medium (20 inches) $18
Large (24 inches) $25
X-Large (36 inches) $40
If you need one shipped, you will need to add an additional $17 to cover the costs of shipping and a wreath box to ship it in.
If you'd like a red velvet bow-they are $3.50
If you would like a wreath, please contact me and let me know which one!
Thank you so much to Honeycutt Christmas Trees in Ashe County, NC.

What is too big for God?? NOTHING!!!
Nothing is too big for God :-)
I am so excited and thrilled to announce that we have reached over $2,000 in our fundraising! We have only been "adoption waiting" for a little over 2 months. In those 2 months we have raised, been given and saved over $2,000. I know its not much and we still have about $13,000 to go, but like I said-NOTHING is too big for God!!!

baby stuff :)
I know, I know, I may be getting ahead of myself but I cant help it! I am so excited to be starting the homestudy process soon. I wanted to get the nursery completed (or close enough) before starting on the rest of the house. My parents were soooo gracious and bought our furniture and bedding for us!!! The room (for those who have not seen it) is bright green, but I love it! The colors will be black and white w/ polka dots, stripes and I'm trying to talk my brother into drawing/painting some pandas and bamboo on there too! (I think there is some damask in the crib bedding as well).
Here is a pic of our crib, dressed and changing table/dresser/hutch (the hutch is not pictured but it sits on top). They should be here sometime this week! I will post pics when its all put together!
Here is a blanket that I made for our baby too :). I am so excited for him/her to use it one day! This was my first one, but I thought it turned out great and it is sooo snuggly!
I hope soon we will have a child in our arms instead of just in our hearts! In the meantime, Im having fun planning and preparing for things to come :)

Updates?
Updates?
Oh, yeah! lol.
Sorry I have been awful at posting! I have no reason to not have posted-haha. The threads of hope fundraiser is going great! The best one yet :). I am so thankful for what GOD has done! He has provided us with the funds we need to move along!
WHAT? You ask. Lol. No, no, we have not gotten all $15,000 we need to fund the WHOLE adoption. We have gotten the $1200 needed to do a homestudy option and pay for the application fee. There is no more putting it off! We are going for it.
A homestudy option is just that, a homestudy only. We will be doing this option because then this will allow us to apply for grants and loans. ALL of the ones we have looked at say we need a completed homestudy. Soooo this is practically the only option to move onward. IF we dont happen to get grants, we will be applying for a loan to cover all of this and will pay it off when we get our tax credit. Hopefully we will get the application completed this weekend and sent off Monday. Our first step!!! We are soo excited and nervous but know that God has this ALL in His hands and knows what He is doing! I am hoping and praying that we will have the homestudy completed by April. Hopefully by then we will have the funds needed to move on. And HOPEFULLY we will be "live" and on the books by June! I know June sounds like FOREVER away but really its not too far away. Only 9 months :)
We are so excited to be moving on with this great and wonderful step! I am so scared and nervous at the same time, but God has this ALL planned already :)
