Thanks to These Blogs

A BIG thank you to some of my favorite blogs (and most of them fellow adoptive mamas) for giving our etsy shop a shout out over the last couple of weeks.  Thanks to all of you, we have sold over 40 shirts in the last couple of weeks!  That's over $800 raised to bring our little Hayes home!  Wow!

Wanna buy your own shirt?  Grab yours here at our etsy shop!

A BIG thank you to all of you who have already ordered a shirt.  We greatly appreciate all of the support! If you have ordred a shirt, I'd love it if you would send me a picture wearing your shirt.  I think it's so neat that there are people all over the country wearing our shirts!  E-mail your photos to jenwayman@gmail.com. 

I'm a Shop Owner!

Ok, so I'm an etsy shop owner, but a shop owner nonetheless.

If you would like to purchase one of our Give Hope adoption fundraising t-shirts, visit our etsy shop.  100% of the proceeds will go toward brining our baby boy home. 

Here's a preview of what the shirts look like.

Here's the women's shirt.  It is a Bella brand fitted tee.  If you are looking for a non-fitted tee, try the unisex shirt.

Here's the unisex tee.  As you can see, the color is slightly more green.  This one is more of an army green.  The women's is more of a gray green.

Here's a close-up of the Give Hope logo designed by amazing sister-in-law!

Now that your're DYING to get your own Give Hope Africa tee, go visit our etsy shop by clicking the logo below.  Not only will you look super fashionable in these awesome shirts, you'll be supporting a good cause!

Feel free to e-mail me or send me a message through etsy if you have any questions! 

Junk in Your Trunk?

If in fact, you do have junk in your trunk, I know just the place for you to get rid of it!

(Of course I meant this trunk. What did you think I was talking about?)

Just a reminder that we are having a yard sale to raise money for our adoption this Saturday from 7 AM to 12 PM. And if you live in the Nashville area and have items that you are looking to get rid of, you can drop them off tomorrow after 3:00 PM at 4510 Granny White Pike.

If you come to the yard sale, you can be among the very first ones to buy our awesome "Give Hope" t-shirts (They look very similar to the logo we featured in our online auction here). 

Hope to see you there!
