Adoption Fundraiser

As most of you know, we are in the process of adopting a baby. With the adoption comes lots of fees! To help pay these fees, we have decided to have a Puzzle Piece Fundraiser! Basically, if you would like to donate to our adoption fund, then you can buy a puzzle piece for $10 and we would write your name on the back. You can buy one piece, or as many as you want! Once we sell all the pieces and have names on the back of each piece, we will put the puzzle together and hang it in our nursery. The picture will be displayed, but we can always turn it around and take a look at the names of the generous people who helped make our adoption possible!
Since our nursery theme is Sea Turtles, this puzzle was the perfect choice!
If you would like to donate, there is a PayPal Donate button at the top of the page! If you are local, you can also give donations directly to us! We greatly appreciate any donation!!
Already, you have surrounded us with love, support and prayers and we are so very grateful.

Special Gifts

I've recenlty been given two items for the nursery that will be greatly used in the future. First, a dear friend gave me an old bassinet. It needed some TLC, but I cleaned it up, found some foam and cut out a new mattress for it and made some new sheets for the mattress. It sits by my bedside and is ready for our little one to dream away inside!

Then, my grandma gave me a crib that she had used in her Bed and Breakfast, but no longer needed. The great thing is, it was a style that I had looked at getting, but was not in my price range! It was gorgeous as it was, but I wanted a white crib to go with the theme of the nursery, so I put a few coats of paint on it. Then I finished sewing up all my crib bedding and got everything set up and I absolutely LOVE the results!


I am so thankful for these two gifts, from two special people!
