Fundraising for a cause

Michael and I recently found out that there is a next-to-nothing chance of ever getting pregnant. So after 2 1/2 years of trying, we can now move on and try to adopt! As some of you know, adoption costs a lot of money so we are going to try to raise money! I have been thinking about doing a garage/arts & crafts sale. Since we have the only house on our street, I thought it would be fun to set up like an arts & crafts fair on our street. The only problem: I'm not super crafty. I am going to hopefully make some stuffed animals and bath supplies, but I'm wondering if anyone out there would like to help us out and sell their stuff and donate to our adoption cause. I'm hoping to do the sale sometime in November or December. Please let me know if you're interested in donating household items, crafty items or your time for this. We appreciate all your love and support in our endeavors!

We have a pile of stuff that we keep on the landing to take to the D.I. currently there is a couple of lamps, a T.V. stand and a printer that you are more than welcome to if you would like… give us a call!
