Elijah's Benefit THIS Sunday!

We are so excited! The benefit our church is sponsoring for Elijah is Sunday starting at 11am. Click here for more details. (It's at the American Legion in my town which is right next to the fire station - "kiddy corner" from the swimming pool.) It will be a "open house" type thing, so if you are local and can come even for just a little bit, we would love to see you! There will be a ton of food too and bake sale items for sale. We continue to be incredibly humbled by the generosity of those in our church, as well as in the community. In addition to the awesome Packer framed photographs, some really fun stuff has been donated for the silent auction.

  • (2) Beautiful handmade purses from my neighbor (Thanks Lori!)
  • Signed Tony Dungee books donated by someone who heard our story and has adopted four children from Russia
  • Gorgeous watercolor print by local artist Sherri T. She has her artwork displayed at the library gallery right now, and I knew her ages ago from MOPS. Thanks Sherri!
  • FROSTY the Snowman!  This adorable holiday decoration is handmade by my very talented oldest daughter, Sarah. It is about 16" high and is crocheted from cut up plastic bags! You can click here and here to see some really cute photos of him. She even got a blue ribbon on him at the fair.
  • Packer Nesting Dolls - You know, the wooden ones that come apart in the middle and fit inside each other? They are well-known in EE. But these "dolls" are in green and gold! No, I'm not kidding! :-)
  • One hour free riding lesson donated by our 4H club leader (Thanks Michelle!)
I know there are other things that I've forgotten, but this gives you an idea. Sarah has been very busy making items to sell as well. I'll be sure to post photos from the benefit too.  My daughter, Anna, told me again that my blog is boring because there are no pictures. (She LOVES to watch videos of Ruby and Lily!) Soon, my dear, very soon.

Hope to see you Sunday!
