Here's the update.. not much.. still waiting on our fingerprints to get back from the FBI. Yep, they don't just give anyone a baby. We are working on little bits of paperwork. Getting copies of marriage license, driver's license and other simple stuff. But on the plus side we have been doing some great fundraising! We have cleaned a few of Bryan's rentals and that has been great money for the time. I have also sold a total of 20 bibs. It's so neat to think that people will be giving my bibs as shower gifts and little ones will be wearing them.. super cool!
Other ways to help us fundraise is.. have a thirty one party (25% of proceeds go towards our adoption), coming soon is a partylite fundraiser (50% of the proceeds), pop cans (yep every penny helps) and soon the puzzle piece fundraiser! Also thinking of doing a garage sale early this summer if anyone has things they'd like to donate. Thats the skinny! Happy sunday all!

Ideas?
Wow! Feeling the love the past 2 weeks. Bryan and I have been telling everyone that were adopting and I am overwhelmed by everyone's support. So exciting to share this with everyone. We have sold 12 bibs as of today!!! Seems like last week I received a call from Bryan every morning "I've got some good news for yah"..(in claudia's voice). If you don't know what the "claudia voice" is.. next time you see Bryan demand he does it for you. So funny!
I am loving the custom orders! Nothing better than making something one of a kind for someone. I just purchased Duck and Beaver material and have made a few, so those will be posted soon. So if you're looking for something special, don't hesitate to ask because I love that kind of stuff.
I have been hearing a lot of I would like to support your adoption fund, but I don't need any bibs..I totally understand that, so I would love for people to comment and leave ideas for me. So let me know of things you'd be interested in purchasing. I will be posting some pictures of possible fundraising ideas in the next few days. I really want to know what you think so leave a comment for us.
Also met with Gavin's teacher yesterday to have her fill out a referal letter, which is required for our adopion. She had nothing but awesome things to say about Gav and how he was the perfect student and just a joy to have in class.. that never gets old and made me so proud to be his mama. Sorry had to brag, it was just too awesome not to share.
Here is a new addition to the etsy site. It's an interchangable headband. I absolutely love it and hope that if lord willing we get a girl she can wear them. More to come.http://www.etsy.com/listing/94999934/interchangable-flower-headband?ref=pr_shop
