http://sparksinthekiln.etsy.com
Sara will be taking orders through email and etsy convos for right now.

Way to go ladies. #140 Dianna, #69 Ashley Baker and #91 Kelly Raudenbush. I will email you all very soon.
And a HUGE thanks to Sara for sending these amazing ornaments my way. Sara you are too kind.
As promised, today starts another giveaway. We have officially been on the wait list for our next little guy for 1 month and 1 day. To celebrate I will be making an art piece for each month and giving it away. I am going to use our Tennessean newspaper for each piece with the 15th date. So check out the first piece.
It’s funny because with Sol’s adoption we never made it to month 2. We literally waited about a month and a 1/2. Sol’s adoption was so quick. With this adoption we flew through paper work, but I have a feeling we will be waiting longer, but who knows what God has planned.
In the mean time we will celebrate being a little closer to seeing our son’s sweet face as each month passes. This canvas is a 10×10 mixed media piece. As always there are lots of ways to enter:
-Leave a comment…I would love to here what you would do with the piece if you won
-Blog about the giveaway
-Facebook about the giveaway
-Twitter about the giveaway
-Become a fan on Facebook HERE
-Follow in Twitter HERE
Please do leave a separate comment below for each entry. Giveaway will end Saturday, December 18th at midnight. And the winner will be announced on Sunday.
Can’t wait to see who wins. Happy Thursday!

I would like to enter the drawing for the art piece. I would give it to my nephew who just gave his heart to the Lord. Before he did, he lost his business, his wife to divorce, the rights to visit his children and all contact with his immediate family. To say he reached the bottom is an understatement. He is living with us and praying for restoration of all he has lost. This would be his Christmas present. I cannot think of a more perfect gift. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to win this beautiful piece of art for him!
I would hang it on my wall in the living room. It is just beautiful!

If I won, it would most likely be hung in our new family room in the basement or given to a friend as a Christmas gift. Love your stuff!
I would hang this in our home where all who visited could see it. It would probably go somewhere near the Africa ornament that we have displayed and intend to keep up until long after our little one comes home from Ethiopia. It is a lovely piece!
Love this piece and would hang it in my bedroom.

I would love to win this to give it to my soon-to-be fiance. We will marry next year and it would be a BEAUTIFUL gift and a reminder of our call to love God, each other and His people.

I have been looking for some art for my bedroom or living room. I think it would serve as a nice reminder in my living room.
I would hang this up on the “family wall” in our living room. I think it’s a great reminder to our child (and soon-to-be children through our adoption!) of how we should treat siblings! It’s also a wonderful reminder to us wives/mamas, too!
and if I won, I would let everyone at the office know, post on twitter and fb 🙂

What a beautiful work of art, I found it from a friends post. What precious gifts children are and what welcoming hearts the portent of adopted children have! God bless you all!
I really want this for myself but I am not kidding when I say I think this was created for my friend. She just wrote the most encouraging post about how she is choosing JOY in a time that could be seen as anything but joyful. It was so encouraging to me & I think this would really bless her! I know God will make sure whoever is meant to have it will have it. 🙂
I would put it in a bedroom! Love it!
If I won the art piece, I would add it to my collection of lovely Pitter Patter art pieces displayed all around my house!! You could probably even use my house as your gallery to show off work!!
I shared on facebook as well!!!

WE LOVE our Africa Tee’s for Swaziland and just know we would love this piece! I would hang it in my front entry for all to see and hope this would spark conversation that would glorify the Lord! Thanks for all your doing Laura!! I can’t wait to give away the tee’s for Christmas!!
i’d be tempted to keep it but would give it to my best friend who is moving to england…..
I really would love this piece to hang in my “grandchildrens” room at my house..What a cool way to introudce them to the word of God, of what it means and how one of my grandgirls friends at preschool came to be here..she is so sweet that she has been the one to befriend the little girl in her preschool class that does not speak English. I am so proud of her to go beyond her abilities of understanding language and make a firend to take under her wing..They have become buddies..I had to glow a bit about 3 yr olds who teaches the adults something all the time.
I need to be reminded of this verse.
