Announcing the Give. Share. Serve. Fundraising Store!

Today is Carrie's birthday and we are very excited to announce the GRAND OPENING EXTRAVAGANZA of our fundraising store to celebrate!  We've set up our products and lined up our affiliates and we're ready for "business". WAHOO!

Now we're no Amazon.com, but we have some great apparel, accessories and bead necklaces!  We also have items for sale through two partner stores; Visiting Orphans and Just Love Coffee.

Hint Hint....We're opening just in time for the for the Christmas shopping season. Get your gifts and support a great cause all at the same time!
And here is the deal, we NEED to kick this thing off with a HUGE BANG!  We have minimum orders on our tees and accessories, and we want YOU to have all these products in time for Christmas, so we are gonna do a kickoff special for our first month and give you FREE SHIPPING on all Simply Love items!!!  We will be placing the first order November 16th, so all orders must be in by midnight November 15th.  That gives you, my awesome blog world peeps a whole month to shop and share this with ALL your friends so we can make this AWESOME!

So, incase you were wondering, "What exactly are you guys fundraising for?"  It's for a couple of things.  Simply put, it's for adoption expenses and mission trip funding.

As many of you know we are in the process of adopting a sibling group through Oklahoma's foster care system. That is a sibling group of four!  Aside from some associated costs of the actual adoption, you might imagine jumping from a family of five to a family of nine is a pretty big massive shift. A majority of the funds raised will go toward things related to an exploding family. Things like furniture, clothing, school supplies, and a biggie; transportation! Can you say 12 passenger van?!

We are also continually fundraising for our mission trips with Visting Orphans. We are excited that one of our children will be going with us on our next trip to Uganda and Ethiopia in June 2012!  Part of the funds will not only go towards the costs associated with the travel part of the missions, but for donations and supplies as well!

Now, Click here and have fun shopping!!!

Thank you for supporting us in our effort to Give.Share.Serve.
