I want to say it again, the items that have been donated for this give-away are INCREDIBLE! I am astounded at the generosity of the talented and blessed people who have donated to make this fundraiser happen. Many of them are stay-at-home-moms and some are that AND in the midst of an adoption journey of their own. Most of the prizes, if not all, are hand-made items that rival and surpass anything I might want to buy in a store. In fact I'm going to start doing all my shopping on etsy!
Here is an update with photos and descriptions on 2 GORGEOUS necklaces donated by my friend Shawna at FireFly Photo Jewelry. Can you believe this gifted artist lives just up the road from me? Wow. I hope this creativity is in the water and that it's flowing my way!
Thank you Shawna! Check her out at her etsy shop Firefly Photo Jewelry by clicking on any of these blue links!
Description
Every night before bed I tell my girls "I love you all the way to the moon and back." This necklace is a perfect reminder to any mom about how much love we have for our children. A 3/4 inch double sided photo pendant is next to a moon shaped sterling silver disk holding the ever popular quote from the children's book. A little freshwater pearl completes the look. Pendants dangle from a 18 inch sterling silver chain.
A handstamped 7/8 inch sterling silver disk with words {born in my heart}. Overlapping is a silver heart with a clear crystal in the center.
Hung from an 18 inch sterling silver chain.

What a blessing the Rippee family is - hearing their story and seeing them work so hard is so touching! I will be in prayer for them! I can't wait to follow (I just became a follower!!) their journey!
ReplyDeleteI thought the paperwork process was hard--and we live in the U.S. I can only imagine the hurdles you have to do it from China. I will pray that they approve your request and you can proceed as God has called.
ReplyDeleteI have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus...but you've all remained in our prayers as you follow His call.
ReplyDeleteFor now...I've tallied 9 entries....
