It's a Poll!!

Aren't you excited?! I've never had a poll on my blog before, but there's no time like the present, huh? Okay, here's the deal. My head is swimming with ideas to help raise funds for our adoption, and I need help figuring out what will work.


Several things that are a sure thing-

1. Yard sale - DONE! I can proudly say we have checked this off the list and raised $1,500 with money still coming in. BUT, it looks like another may be in the works. Several families have contacted us about having donations for us, so we'll see.


2. Pottery Sale by Shaping Lives Pottery (the coolest oldest daughter EVER!!). Visit her sale and place orders- email me orders at nogreatergiftmom@yahoo.com. She's donating a large portion of the proceeds to our adoption. What a cool kid!


3. Fun Family Day on our property. We PRAY we can advertise this as a benefit concert with a really cool band. And PRAY we'll meet someone generous enough to help us out with an outdoor blowup movie screen so we can end the night with a family friendly film. Oh, and we can't forget Cow Patty Bingo! We'll be playing that throughout the evening.



And so, here's the deal. We would like to sell items to raise awareness for adoption and Christ's call to each of us. Of course, we'd also be raising funds for our adoption. We want the items to be BOLD and in your face. One saying that I love, say to my kids often and have hanging around my house is "Love them like Jesus". Period. If we all did that, there would be no orphans. We're thinking about printing that on something along with a Bible verse.


Choices are- tshirts, reusable grocery bags or bracelets like the one Caylyn's Mom gave me (see post from several days ago). The tshirts will say something like "We are all called..."on the front and "to LOVE THEM LIKE JESUS." and a Bible verse on the back. The grocery bags will be similar. I found some wonderful ones that actually close- both regular bags and quilted insulated bags for your cold items. Big ones! Again, the bracelets will be similar to the one Caylyn's Mom sent me. I can't tell you how absolutely gorgeous it is! It will specifically raise awareness for Reece's Rainbow.


So, I need to know-
1. What you'd like to see- what would be the coolest item?
2. What you think will sell better.
3. What you think will get the point across to the most people. It's not just about us, remember.
