We can also discuss a "Warmer Raffle" to help boost sales as well.

Love it!!!

Just Love Coffee

2009-11-06T20:27:00.001-08:00

We were approached, before we ever finished Jada's adoption, about joining a fundraiser for adoption - and being it involved COFFEE - I was thrilled to sign up!! Well, it has just taken off now and we were able to set up a store front - even though our adoption is finished. SO, for the next 6 months or so - we are able to make a portion of the sales off of any coffee ordered from this site to help with past expenses from Jada's adoption AND the rest of the money goes to help other adoptive families as well. What's not to love about that?!?! How about some more details?? You can order a one-time order or schedule out your orders AND it's fair trade coffee - I like that too - helping other countries as we help adoptive families. SO, if you enjoy coffee like I do - check it out - I have heard it is WONDERFUL coffee!

Just Love Coffee - The Bilby's

Sips for Selah

2009-10-17T18:57:00.000-07:00

What a great idea for a fundraiser AND a way for you to win!!! Don't miss it - go check it out HERE.

Here is what the family said:
We're asking you to blog about our fundraiser and tell your readers to go to our Web site Sips for Selah to order our fairly-traded, shade-grown coffee (and order some yourself!). This superb, artisan-roasted coffee is some of the best we've ever tasted! We also offer two varieties of Chinese tea. Or if they prefer, they can simply make a donation.

As our thank you, your readers will get a chance at one of ten prizes. Every bag purchased or every $5 in donations counts as an entry into the contest. Out of every 1,000 entries, a lucky buyer (drawn at random) can choose to receive either free coffee or tea for a year (one bag a month), or a free iPod Shuffle.

What a great way to help bring a child home!!

We have created a blog with the fundraiser information. Check it out!!! Bringing Madelyn Home

Jada Fund

2009-04-21T07:34:00.000-07:00

I try not to post for myself very often, but since I have people asking, I thought I would let you know how you can give to help our family with this, our second, adoption. So I will post some different ways you can help give money toward our adoption. What always amazes me is that God takes care of everything!
1) You can give to the piggy bank in the sidebar And Jada Makes 7 - this goes through Paypal.
2) You can sign up for a blog makeover at Busy Mama Blog Design.
3) You can order from Amazon.com by clicking on ANY of our links at the bottom of our blog - you don't even have to order THAT item, but any order placed by clicking in through our blog - gives a small portion to our family account.
4) You can mail a check to our church and give through them - that would give you a tax deductible statement. If you choose this route here's the address:
New Hope Evangelical Free Church
Attn: Lisa Leusink
718 Florida Ave. SW
Orange City, IA 51041
IN THE MEMO LINE: put "Adoption for Bilby's" and it will 100% get to us and you will get a tax-deductible statement as well.
5) Any Creative Memories orders placed through my site also give a portion back to us - so that is good too!! (Traditional Scrapbooking or Digital Supplies - either counts!!)
6)Lastly, I am starting another blog - this one is called Chloe's Closet - I am selling all of Chloe's out-grown clothes that I was saving for Jada and now know won't fit her! I am also accepting DONATIONS of items to giveaway on this site as well - some designers have sent me brand new items to list on there - and that helps us too!

Cookbook Anyone??

2009-04-05T16:49:00.000-07:00

I love it when yet another family has their heart turned toward adoption! The Ryder's are raising money to help bring home their son who is currently in Uganda. What a wonderful cause and their cookbook looks like it will be WONDERFUL!

Oatsvall Team

Gwen states:

T-SHIRTS ARE HERE ... I DESIGNED THEM TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO TALK ... I pictured the Daisy as people would say "You Love Me, You Love Me Not?" and it hit me ... It is a personal choice to love the orphans, but it is a mandate from the Father
that we all care for them in some way ... WHAT DOES CARING LOOK LIKE FOR YOU ...
It could be adopting, sponsoring a child, helping someone fund their adoption,
clothes drives/food drives for orphanages, volunteering at a non-profit, interim
care, or simply buying this t-shirt to help bring my children home ... I know I
am saying this to the choir... You, my blog family, have been amazing at caring
for the orphans, so many of you are ACTING and we are changing this world !!!
Let's keep talking about them to others and get more people involved ...
I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM ... I HAVE 100 ... SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, AND X-LARGE ...
$25.00 each ... I am so excited to be taking this step to start the fundraising for
my angels ... Much has happened over the last few days that I will blog soon ...
GOD THINGS ... AMAZING HAND OF GOD MOMENTS ....
Feel free to email me any questions about the shirts ... s.oatsvall@comcast.net

This family is such a blessing to adoptive families - having been one themselves. They have set up this AMAZING site that has beautiful items for gift giving or just for yourself!! I bought the ornaments from them and LOVE them - but I am finding lots of other items I wish I had bought in China, but didn't!!! So go check it out - AND, if you don't have a family you wish to support on the site, you may surely put our names in when you purchase (Bilby's) - if you specify a family, a portion of the proceeds go to that family.

Thinking Christmas??

2008-08-25T08:26:00.000-07:00

I know, this is really pushing it, as we are a ways from Christmas, but we have a wonderful opportunity to be in on an adoption fundraiser and I wanted to post about it. I think these ornaments are beautiful and Christine is an adoptive mother and has a heart to help adoptive families. SO- if you like these as much as I do and want to order one or a whole set - she said to order soon - they sell quickly and they do come all the way from China! Oh, and if you want the proceeds to help our family - just add "Bilby Family" somehwere in your email - then she gives the proceeds to us. (If you don't care who the proceeds go to, you don't need to add anything and she just divides it evenly. ) We are so grateful to people like this that are willing to help adoptive families!

Fundraiser Idea

2008-05-28T12:51:00.001-07:00

Angie has a generous offer for those of you that are looking for a fundraiser - she lists some details below and how to contact her directly:

I would like to offer this to anyone that is adopting. My name is Angie and they can view my website at www.loveforadoption.com or email me directly at angel@wyan.org. What I would do is send the family a flyer to pass around to friends and family and also it can be emailed or posted on blogs. The flyer would direct everyone to a special site set up for only fundraisers. Whenever someone makes a purchase, I will donate 25% of the sale to the adoptive family. The donation would come in the form of a check from me around the 20th of the following month. Shaklee pays me around the 18th. I would love to be able to help others on their journey! We are hoping to start the process again in a few years.
