Fundraising, fundraising, fundraising...





Was never much of a fundraiser. Never could stand it in school, never had any interest in a sales job and genuinely, I just feel bad asking people to buy overpriced items for any sort of cause especially items people would never buy otherwise. I found a couple of cool fundraisers I am going to be doing. One is for flower bulbs. They have all sorts of high quality bulbs and they actually are not a bad price...like you can pay 20 dollars for a variety of 56 bulbs that are guaranteed to bloom! I'm also contemplating selling candles. I'm not too sure yet though because they are very expensive and you have to sell 150 them or there is a 65 dollar shipping fee which if you only sold a few could make you lose money.

I also am going to be selling baby boutique headbands. I am making them myself. I am going to be trying to sell them on ebay and will also custom make pieces for people for 5 dollars each. If you are interested, let me know, they are very cute! Attached are some of the flowers I have made. They are one clips that you snap in your hair and can be used alone or attached to the lycra crocheted headband that will be included!

HOME STUDY APPROVED

I haven't posted on here in a while because our adoption process has been moving very slow. We had to wait on 5 letters of reference but we finally got them. We just got the word that we are home study approved. Now we just must wait for a match!!!

I added a donate button for those who are interested in donating to help us offset our adoption costs a bit. We are going to be applying for grants and fundraising but I know some people would just rather donate. All funds will be going directly towards adoption fees!
