DINNER PARTY FOR 8--COMPLETE WITH GOOD WINE!


Dinner party for 8*

Bid on a fabulous dinner party for 8!  Enjoy a delicious, homemade meal and great wine at a dinner party in your own home!   

This is a GREAT deal.  What a fun couples night this would be!  And how many times can you honestly say that getting dressed up and drinking some vino will help bring an orphan home?

*If you want to bid on this item, you must do so on Facebook.  I'm willing to accept bids via email, but I cannot assume responsibility for you "losing" the auction because I will not be able to keep you in the loop for the auction.  If, however, you aren't on Facebook and you desperately want this, a large donation to our adoption fund COULD possibly work.  

THIS AUCTION WILL CLOSE NEXT SUNDAY AT 8PM.   

Starting with a bid of $80, choose between a pork or chicken entrée, to be served with an appetizer, 2 or 3 side dishes and dessert.  The meal will be delivered to your home in disposable containers.  One bottle of red wine is included. The first wine to be included is a 2000 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon , which retails for about $60 (though in a restaurant it would cost between $100-120). [Cost: $10 / per person]

Starting with a bid of $140, add the additional options of lamb or beef for your entrée and an additional bottle of red wine.  The second wine to be included is the Livingston, which retails for about $95 (though in a restaurant it would cost between $150-$190).  [Cost: about $17 / per person]

Starting with a bid of  $200, your meal will arrive on serving platters.  You will also receive service during the meal and a light clean-up of the meal.
[cost: about $25 / per person]

The highest bid wins!!

Adorable korkers on clippies.  Each one is handmade and $6.  I'm sure there will be more to come, so check the FB page for updates and I'll try to keep up to date on here as well.  These are adorable, even if I did make them myself!

The Sarah Grace--carolina blue, white, Irish kelly green, and pale green with flowers.  $6.

The Isabel. Hot pink, light pink and white. $6

The Aimee.  Pink,green, and white. $6

 The Lily. Hot pink, pink, and white. $6

Silhouettes




These silhouettes are a printable 8x10 jpeg file.  You simply email me a sideview pic of your kids and select the color of the background you desire.   A great way to do this is while your child is watching TV.  Little girls preferably will have their hair pulled back.  $20.

Pray for a Country Pins...

These pins are a great gift for someone who has or is adopting from another country.  I wear mine everyday as a reminder of my child who I cannot yet hold.  I pray for him daily and this pin is a symbol that he is close to my heart even now.  

They are hard plastic and are $10.  Pictured below you'll see various examples of pins I've made.  If there is a country you would like, I can do it.  Countries and hearts are depicted in the colors of their native flag.  I could also do a state for you if you'd prefer.

Thanks!


My Heart is in Zhengzhou.  


My heart is in Ethiopia.


My heart is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

And so you have a frame of reference of their size, my beautiful friend, Sarah, modeled hers for me.  (No, actually, I just stole her facebook profile picture.  It looks professional because she is actually a professional photographer.)

So my friend Mollie is a rock star

My awesome Kamp friend, Mollie, despite being a Kickapoo and having the audacity to live so far away from me, is an awesome photographer and sent me this adorable printable to sell.  Basically, all you'll do if you want the printable jpeg is comment below or on facebook and I'll send you the printable.  You can print it at home or wherever you want.  It is available in the following formats: 10x10, 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14.

And yes, I have an order to print this puppy at Costco to use in the boys' room as a display for trunk shows.

Seriously?  How cute are these?


They are ready to be personalized and shipped to whomever purchases them!

Here are the specifics:

Made with acrylic paint and accented with graphic markers.
Each one measures 16” x 20”
Painted on artist board / canvas panel
These can be hung as is (they have a small hook on the back) or can be framed by the owner
