We’re Going To Need A Minivan + Giveaway

Such exciting times around the Kelley house and we are excited to finally let everyone know that we are going to need a bigger car, should I even say, maybe a minivan…

We are officially adopting from Ethiopia again. We faxed our application and mailed out our first major papers last week and have jumped right into the adoption process again. Our goal is to be on the waiting list by the time courts re-open at the end of September…a little lofty, I know, but I think we can totally do it. So we are super excited and CANNOT wait to meet our next son. So please keep us in your prayers. We are going to start fundraising and as with last time around, all the money from orders will go straight into our adoption account. You will be getting a unique, quality product and helping us bring our little boy home, so keep those orders coming in.

Donations are awesome and always greatly appreciated, but we are not afraid to work to bring our boy home. We will be selling tees this time around and think they are going to be pretty cool…WINK WINK!  And we are going to have an awesome thank you gift for people that make a donation to our adoption fund. Still waiting for some items to show up in my mailbox…so check back to see our “Thank you” gift. It’s going to be good.  You can even help by just recommending my site or even suggesting to Facebook friends that they become a fan of Pitter Patter Art.

We CANNOT wait to meet our new little boy!  “Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you.”  1 Thessalonians 3:11

I only have a few new items to show…I am right in the middle of two new art pieces and have mainly been working on those.  Cannot wait to showcase them.  But this sweet 3/4″ bracelet in headed to Becky in Hendersonville, Tn.  Becky wanted a bracelet to show some love for Haiti.  Thanks so much Becky and hope you love it.

And these sweet little elephant tees are headed to a giveaway and a charity fundraiser.  I really think my little ones might need some elephant tees to sport 🙂

I also have some new fabrics available and they have been added to the fabric link at the top of the page.
