Flitterbugs.....for the Brown Family!

I would like to introduce you all to the Brown family! Aren't they beautiful?

The Browns are a family of 6.....yes,  4 daughters...and they are in the process of adopting 18 months old girl/boy twins from Uganda. We love our girl/boy twins, and can't wait to see the Browns home with their little ones. The Browns are currently waiting for a court date in Uganda. Once a court date is set, they will travel and stay in country for 4-6 weeks before bringing their twins home. The Browns have been hard at work for the last several months fundraising. They have about 13K left to raise in order to bring their babies home. Promise 686 has offered them a matching grant of up to $6,000....so your gift can be doubled!

Would you like to be a part of these little one's journey home?!?!

From today through Wednesday, August 17th,

80% of all Flitterbug profits will benefit the Browns adoption!

Pop on over and choose a style....then pick your fabric.

Email your order to me....and I will get started!

I typically try to have dresses made and in the mail within 2 weeks of your order, but depending on the number of orders received for this fundraiser, it may take me as long as 3 weeks.

Thank you for being a part of Flitterbugs and the Brown Family adoption. You can visit their blog here to learn more about this soon to be family of 8, and watch their journey unfold!

Still going.......

Our weekend in pictures:)

Sweet Jordan in on the move...and he is fast.

I'm beginning to think that right eye is going to stay bright blue...hasn't changed yet!

The kids love painting anything. This particular day...they painted rocks:)

My sweet little girls...who are pretty much inseparable!

I love my hubby! Tomorrow is our 9th Anniversary!

The peanuts are the little prince and princess of the house....the big kids spend a lot of time pushing them around in the laundry basket:)

Sweet Landis....after painting the rocks....he set up a "store" and sold his to me. I now have no money and a stash of blue rocks:) 

************************

I am going to keep taking "Flitterbugs.....for Africa" orders throughout the remainder of the week and weekend. Thank you to all who have placed an order! I am trying to get the dresses made and to you just as quickly as possible. I'll be sewing for a few more weeks...then take a break as our new homeschooling year begins!

New Fabrics.....Sewing for Africa

All profits from this weeks orders go to help the Horn of Africa.

Thank you for your support!

Flitterbugs....for Africa

You have probably heard of the horrific drought that is affecting the Horn of Africa. Approximately 12 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and surrounding countries are being ravaged by lack of rain....and now lack of food.

We have been sponsoring a young girl in Ethiopia through Compassion International for almost 9 years. Her name in Shitaye, and she is now 14 years old. Last week we received news that Shitaye is in an area which is suffering greatly from the drought. Compassion International is working to respond to to this great crisis, and to aid children and families with not nourishment, but the love and hope of Christ.

I am sure like many of you, my heart breaks at the images of hungry children....suffering peoples.

Starting today....and until I get the maximum amount of orders I can reasonably finish.....

 80% of all profits from Flitterbugs will go to Compassion International's efforts to help the Horn of Africa.

Compassion has been within these countries for years, and is wise and effective in the manner in which they distribute aid.

Pop on over and pick out a dress for your little one.....and each time she wears it, pray for those so greatly affected by this drought!

Kenny, the twins and I are off to a few special visit this morning.......

A much prayed for opportunity to meet Jordan and Eliana's birthmother!

I am excited, but also nervous. We would really appreciate your prayers. We pray today will be an opportunity to share the love of Christ, and to let this precious young woman know how deeply we care for her. Thank you for praying!

Run for Adoption!

Do you love adoption? Are you interested in adoption....or just love life and want to spend a special morning celebrating life?
