Curriculum and Book Sale

So it is Spring Break 
which means Spring Cleaning.

Below you will find links to my 
adoption FB page with items I am
trying to sale to help out with the last of our adoption cost.

The sale will go until Wed., April 4th 
and then on Thursday whatever has not sold will
be up for whatever price you are willing to pay for it. 

So if you see something you like but just don't
like the cost you can take your chance and wait until 
Thursday, April 5th and then see if it is still there.

Also, I did put shipping cost next to things but 
if shipping can be combined and lowered I will do so for you.

So just go to the FB page and tell me what you want.
You can either leave me a comment on the FB page next to the 
picture or you can email me at cans4carlene@yahoo.com.

I will also be happy to answer any questions you may have.

All payments will be made through the chip-in button on the right 
that says Curriculum Sale. These donations are not tax deductible
because I need to be able to use the money to ship the items. 
Whatever money is left over after shipping will go towards our adoption cost.

At the end of this blog there will be a list of books for sale.
You do not have to go to the FB page to see these 
there will just be links. 

I will only ship out an order if it is for at least $5.00
so even though some of the books may be .50 cents
I am not going to put them in a box and ship them out in less
the total I will make is at least $5.00.

Thank You. We Won!


We did it.

We won.


Thanks to your help we were able to 
stay in the top 10 
and will be receiving a $500 Visa Card
to help with the cost of our adoption.




This picture was taken the day we
finalized Nevaeh's adoption. 

If you would like to read more about that day
you are welcome to do so here. 

It has been almost 2 years now and if you would have told me
on that day that I would be crazy enough to endure
even more heartache and pain by 
venturing out into International Adoption
I probably would have thrown up on you. 

But here we are. 

Smack dab in the middle of turbulent seas once again.

I started out thinking this adoption would be so much easier.

That somehow it would be faster and I would be able 
to enjoy the process more.

But nothing worthwhile has every come easy for me.

So right now we just wait and pray 
and rejoice in the fact that we have made wonderful friends 
on this journey and have learned so much about 
learning patience and having faith. 

Apparently I didn't do a very good job at that the last time
so I guess I am trying to see if I can do better this time.

I promise as soon as I hear anything I will let you all know.

Until then please pray that she will feel safe and loved
and that whatever changes need to be made to allow us to go 
and bring her home will be done swiftly.

Consignment Sale

I have been so busy with life in general lately
that I haven't had much time to blog.

I am sure many of you have heard that 
adoptions in a certain country in 
Easter Europe have stopped.

What is interesting is that it is not ALL 
of that country. 

But it just so happens to be the region we are trying to adopt from.

Not unusual for this region. 

So right now things are just taking longer 
than what we had hoped. 

So for now we are working on raising the last of 
our adoption funds. 

We have enough money for trips 1 and 2
but are about $9,000 short for trip 3.

So I signed up to do a consignment sale. 
I had most of the clothes ready and then I got this
brilliant idea. 

If I sold the items on-line I could earn all of the money
and not have to give away 30% of it to the consignment people.

I didn't even finish posting pictures last night on 
our FB page when people were popping up and buying things.

Last night I sold $150 worth :)

Today $62.50 more.

I still have lots of clothes to go through but 
was exhausted after spending 12 hour yesterday ironing, hanging,
taking pictures and inputting the clothes into the computer.

Not much left in the little girls clothes but 
lots of little boys clothes.

So if you know of anyone in need of some
really cute boy stuff 18 months and smaller please come
and take a look and pass the info along. 

I will be posting more stuff as I find more treasures.









If you would like to make a purchase
just leave a comment on the FB page and message me your address 
so I can figure out shipping. 

If you don't have a FB account just email me at 
cans4carlene@yahoo.com

I want to thank everyone again for all the support
you have given us during this time.
