Ornaments for Orphans

Hey everyone...hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. As promised, the Christmas ornament fundraiser is ready to go. Just in case you haven't been following the blog, let me back up and bring you up to date.

We are hoping to adopt again! Our prayer is that God would give us a little blessing (or blessings) from Uganda, Africa sometime next year. I traveled to South Africa this past summer and saw first-hand the needs of the poor there. We haven't been to Uganda, but have several friends who have. Eden has been begging for a "baby sister and baby brudda" ever since she saw "Big Sister Dora" a year and a half ago (LOL). I'm not sure she really knows what she's asking for...but I know she'll be a great big sister.

I really struggled with the timing of this adoption, to be honest. You can read about that a few posts down. God is going to have to move some pretty big mountains financially, and we know He can and will do that if this is His will for our family. I wanted to do a fundraiser that was both affordable for people and involved our daughter as much as possible...hence, Ornaments for Orphans.

You can click on the link on the right side of the blog to get all the info. Eden has helped me hand-make some Christmas ornaments for you to buy. Each ornament is $10.

I know there are many times when I have small gifts I need to get like teacher gifts, extended family, dirty Santa, etc. I always end up getting some small little gift that costs about $10, so I thought maybe if people were already going to spend the money, maybe it would bless the giver and receiver to know that the $10 really will help change a baby's life forever. You have my word that 100% of the money we receive will be deposited directly into our adoption savings account.

Each ornament will include an enclosure card that tells about our adoption so the recipient will know it's more than a Christmas ornament. Thank you all so much for loving and supporting us on this journey. If you have any questions, just post here or e-mail me at kerimason@mac.com.

When you click on the "Ornaments for Orphans" tab on the right, it will take you to the web page. You can pay online with paypal, or e-mail me your order and I will send you the info to mail a check. Please feel free to put the link on your blogs/facebook too, or give our blog address to anyone you think might want to help...the more the merrier!

There is an adorable video of Eden when you get to the site. She will give you all the details. Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you again. God bless!
