Christmas Shopping Anyone???

I'll be finishing up my Christmas shopping over the next week or so hopefully.  Whatever is left we will get while traveling. Lord willing, Pat will be back home before Christmas to make sure everything is under the tree.  One of the things I've really enjoyed doing this year while shopping on-line is making purchases from other families that are selling beautiful items to help raise money for their adoptions. Definitely a gift with meaning.

For example, the Swerdfeger family...their SDA appt is the SAME day as ours! I believe it is an hour before or after ours. How fun is that?!?! (The wild thing is their dossier was submitted 2 weeks before ours. No rhyme or reason to how things are done in EE, that's for sure!)  I'm really looking forward to meeting them! Ok, back to shopping. April and her mom have made these beautiful Colorful Cuddle Blankets to help raise money to bring their precious daughter home. Please go check them out and consider helping them out with the remainder of the money they need. If you don't need a blanket, and if you feel led, you may help them by donating to their RR FSP account by clicking here. But really, even if you can't donate, you need to click on it anyway to see Aly's super CUTE face! :-)

Still need more ideas? Click here for a list of RR families raising support, as well as "Warriors", raising money for a specific child that still needs a family.  You will see Sarah's blog listed there as well for Anastasiya. Wonderful things and give-aways too.

Still want a few more?!? :-) Sarah is also listed on this site as well. Lots of families adopting from Ethiopia and other parts of Africa selling items here. CUTE stuff!

GIVE GIFTS that GIVE LIFE!
