maybe you'd like to join me.
purchase for people you love while 
showing love to some you've never met.

the love edition:

the food edition: 
•Ugandan vanilla extract for adoption fundraiser•

    how do you even choose a favorite?

    i've been eyeing family rules here lately. looking for the right rules, and the right print or the right tutorial. so i truly do love that one.

    and the note you put under the hair clips brought tears to my eyes. i love that the boys will have his best friends by his side through out his whole life. LOVE.

    and the love makes a family print? adorable.

    thanks for putting this together- will be using this to cross some presents off my list. :)

    Some of those hair clips would be perfect stocking stuffers!

    (and the rest of the stuff, I kinda want for myself... that's allowed, right?)

    So many beautiful items. I can think of someone on my list who would love each of these. I think my first purchase might be the chocolate peppermint body butter, because YUM!There was a bracelet you showed on here once (it might have been last Christmas time) that looked handmade. It said Hope on it. Do you remember where that was from and if they made others?

    I love the "i searched the ehole world for you" necklace. This is such a nice post...a true reminder of what is really important, and a reminder that while yes, we can spoil ourselves this season, let's spoil those less fortunate and let's help families bring their children home.

    I love every single one of them. I cried while reading this entry and shared it on my facebook page because of how powerful this post is.


    Crying thinking about "OUR story on adoption" and how it's being written right now....God is so faithful!

  44. LauraNovember 22, 2011 at 12:43 PM

    I cried too! I just love to see people using the gifts that God gave them! How awesome it is when we do exactly what God made us to do - here you can literally see the fruits of that!!! Yes, I am crying and excited - and now shopping! (If I had to pick - the tea towels - YELLOW makes me happy!)
