Ugh no travel date yet. This waiting is turning my hair gray.. and no its not because I am older :) lol. I know it is all in God's timing and I must trust in him but again we are so ready to begin this chapter in our journey.
I have not had too much luck on my facebook with this question so I am going to ask here- I am thinking about doing a last minute giftaway. It would be only a couple of weeks since as soon as we get our travel date it will leave us little time. I do not have a lot of luck in the giftaway department but would be willing to give it another go. My question is if I do have one- what would be a prize that you think would be great to win? Keep in mind my previous attempts at giftaways- Something over the top that costs over 1000 is not an option but something you might say- hey I wouldn't mind that?
Some awesome news- Blake is now officially listed on the My Family Found me page!! I am hoping that I can get a look at little Blake while I am there and get some more pictures for his family. Since they are in the beginning stages I think it would be awesome to get any pictures I can for them. Now maybe little Maeve will be found by her family as well!! And little Mason who has been waiting forever for his!
I can't believe your hair is just starting to greay now!!! Like this process has been SO easy :) Praying I get to call you this week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think…
ReplyDeleteFor the giveaway I hosted, I just contacted Etsy shops, asking them if they would donate an item to help give their shop business. Maybe you could try that by contacting some shops that sell jewelry, since lots of girls like that, and then it doesn't cost money. Lots of people like iPods, and let's see... mainly anything ;)
We are waiting on our travel date as well. It is so hard seeing other families who submitted the same day as us get appointments a week earlier. We too, though are trusting God and His perfect timing. We are going to be doing a last minute giveaway as well. We have not done one yet, so I have no idea how it will go. We have some items left that were donated for a raffle that didn't go so well, so we are using them now. (We had a yard sale/bbq/raffle/silent auction-I think it was just too much for one day.) Anyways, we have 3-$50 gift cards (target, lowes, best buy) a picnic basket filled with goodies, a 31 bag, a portable grill, and some hand knitted baby blankets. Nothing super big, but I think I will do entries dollar for dollar and see how it goes. Good luck with everything. Maybe we will see you in U-know-where :)
ReplyDeleteAhh.. it's Quinton's mommy :) Hopefully we will meet up in U know where!!
ReplyDeleteso happy that you are so close to getting your little guy...praying the process runs smoothly and quickly for you all. I have prayed for "cliff" for some time... I think the infants just get me:)
ReplyDeleteHow about putting together an 'experience' of some sort. A date night package (very general) for a couple, or an adventure for a child or two...? Just a thought. Something that encourages people to do together...
ReplyDeleteHow about a car wash or bake sale. Our church has been doing both these things for their mission trips. They seem fairly easy (and quick) to put together.
