The other day, someone rather randomly asked me if we were still doing "that sale thing." I was confused, at first, because I wasn't sure that this person had ever heard me talk about my online yard saling (my new "part time job" on F@cebook). But then, they said, "Ya know, those tee shirts with the Bible verses on them?"
Oh. That sale thing. Heh. Heh.
Yeah. We are still doing that sale thing. We're so grateful for those of you who have purchased tees already (from as far away as AUSTRALIA! Can I get a WOOT WOOT?!). I'd love it if you could snap a picture of yourself, sportin' your fancy schmanzy Wild Olive Tee and send it to me. It's such fun to see the beautiful variety you all choose.
And for the record, we are actually still doing that book sale thing, too.
And I'm still doing the F@cebook Yard Sale thing, too. I had originally planned to phase it out by July and think and pray about re-starting it in the fall when the kiddoes go back to school. But I have some seriously cute inventory of kids' summer clothing and even some cute ladies' clothing (sizes Small 4/6 all the way up through Medium 10/12) that were recently donated so I've been keeping it up and running.
I never really saw myself as a fund-raising type, even for something as important to my family as adoption, but I've actually really enjoyed these particular ventures. And recently, I believe the Lord gave me a pretty cool idea for a potentially exciting and profitable opportunity that can benefit our adoption as well as many, many others within the adoption community. I'm praying over it and trusting Him to make it all happen as He sees fit. In the meantime, pray for me as I tiptoe into the early prep work of it, if you think of it, please?
If you happen to be interested in any of the items mentioned above, please check out my sidebar to the left of this post or feel free to contact me by commenting here or by emailing me. I'm thrilled to share the details with you. If you desire to support our efforts further, please feel free to share our information or posts and give folks the low-down on the family code for the tees or our family name for the book. That'd be awesome, too.

Wow - bang / bang posts - no fair putting yesterdays up after I was by!!
On the "sale thangs" (which is how you really sound - right?) great stuff - and you will be a grand success!
On your 'drummer boy' - yeppers - love seeing our youth involved in outreach - it helps restore my faith in some of the youth today. I guess I get a little jaundice when most of the youth I deal with are either victims or perpatrators!
But I have to leave another thought - "the apple don't fall far from the tree" - I'm thinking that having you and the boss involved here has a 'tad' to do with it! Enjoy a compliment - and a moment of parent pride her - OK?
hugs - love you guys - fair winds and following seas on your journey Shags!
aus and co.
just ordered the book :)
