One Dollar Adoption Challenge GIVEAWAY!!

**UPDATE- NEW GIVEAWAY ITEM LISTED BELOW**

Giveaway Day is HERE!! We stand in awe of the generosity of so many and have truly seen the hand of God through the One Dollar Adoption Challenge. I have received several encouraging emails- one from a childhood friend that I haven't spoken with in 15 years or more! It's amazing how God intertwines our lives. Thank you.



The Giveaway details-


The Giveaway will end on my birthday, June 28th, so there is plenty of time to enter yourself and your friends. Between now and then, I will be adding additional prizes. As of today, we have 4 separate prizes (one being posted about tomorrow).


You can enter one of three (or all three!!) ways-

1. Donate. Even donating $1 will enter you into the giveaway. You will be entered as many times as dollars you donate. For example, donate $10 and your name will be entered 10 times.

If you have already donated, your name will be entered as many times as dollars you donated.


2. Share our Challenge. In order for the Challenge to be successful, we must spread the word. If you share somewhere (blog, Facebook, email), please leave me a comment letting me know where and your name will be entered once per place you shared.


3. The most important- PRAY for our family. Without prayer this Challenge will fail. If you can commit to pray for our family, please send me an email (nogreatergiftmom@yahoo.com) or leave me a comment and your name will be entered.



So, what's up for grabs?!



Item #1- Of course, a Sign of Faith. Any sign of your choosing, even something custom, up to 10 letters. So, start thinking about what perfect word you would like to proudly hang in your home. Each sign comes with a card about our family and adoption. Printed on the card will also be a special Bible verse that goes along with the word on the sign. I wish I had more photos to share, but my workspace looks like a bomb explosion. Just a sampling of the signs I'm working on-


love wins dance serve gather family


believe sit kiss me forever servant


i am miracle adopted welcome kneel





Item #2- Both a cross and soap dish from Shaping Lives Pottery. I have the honor of parenting the young lady who makes this beautiful pottery- our oldest! She has discovered her God given talented and thrives creating beautiful pieces to share. I have written about her several times. She loves the Lord with everything she has and continues to challenge my walk with Christ on a daily basis.

You will also receive handmade gardenia scented soap made by a local friend. Oh, it smells delicious!!



Item #3-And certainly not least, a heavenly Brown Sugar Scrub from Rubies and Pearls. Notice the verse on the tag- Proverbs 3:15. Our middle daughter is a new entrepreneur and just began making these delicious scrubs as gifts. When she saw what a hit the scrubs were, she decided to share the love. I'm telling you, you will have a hard time not taking a bath in the entire jar!





One of the things I love about these scrubs (besides the little girl who makes them!) is that all materials are recycled. Well, the scrub itself isn't, but the container, tiny spoon and all fabric is! She collects beautiful glass jars, makes her own firecrackers out of fabric and searches high and low for perfect scrub spoons! No 2 are alike. Isn't she the coolest?!







Item #4- One pair of earrings of your choice from Freebranch Jewelry (please note, both of her websites will be down until this weekend due to a server problem- new updates coming soon). These beautiful pieces of jewelry are handmade by my sister, J. Each are one of a kind and absolutely stunning. We are incredibly blessed to live very near my sister and her family, and our kiddos love hanging out together (watching Barbie and Tinkerbell movies)!


J and her husband share my passion for individuals with special needs. About 9 years ago, they founded a camp for these angels called Camp Caglewood. Camp Caglewood embraces and celebrates each campers uniqueness whether they have Down Syndrome, Cerebal Palsy, Autism..most any special need. Find out more about the ministry that Camp Caglewood provides by visiting their website. Watch the videos- you will be touched and smiling for the rest of the day!


Please, join us in praying for a successful One Dollar Adoption Challenge- not just for our family, but for the thousands of adoptive families and millions of orphans in the world. I KNOW that if each member of the body of Christ were to support adoptive families, there would be NO MORE ORPHANS! Challenge yourself. Challenge others.

In Him,
E
