Momma's gettin' crafty!

Well, they say in times of desperation you find a way to do what ever it takes to take care of your family. I think this may be proof that this statement is true :) As I mentioned in the previous post we are in need of more funds to be able to complete our adoption. For years I've had friends and family tell me I should sell some of my "creations" so I got the little wheels in my head turning and worked my tail off (along with my amazing mother and husband) for a week to produce enough items to sell for the benefit of our adoption. We have opened a booth at Encore Resales in Pelham, AL to sell some of my "crafts" to raise extra money to help bring Levi home. This is something I never thought I'd have the guts to do...and I certainly never thought I'd be getting it going the week before we leave for court in Russia! But everything sort of fell into place and I had to see that as God making a way for us to raise the money we needed! Please support us in this effort to open up our home and hearts to "one of the fatherless." 

If you are interested in some cute stuff for a great cause please go by and visit our booth, Polka-tots.  It's in the very back, down the middle isle, of Encore Resales. If you see an item listed but would like a different color or size (or do not live around the Birmingham area) I can custom make any of the items you'd like and ship it. 
Here are some of the fun things you'll find at Polka-tots:

Here is our booth!

Tiffany blue chalkboard

Distressed white frame

Frames and shadowbox shelf

White candlesticks

Tiffany blue candlesticks and white table

Weathered wood frames, beaded wineglasses, pottery

We are also selling burlap door hangers (pictured below) which can be made to order with your choice of colors. They are $20 (add $5 for shipping if not local). I have several more furniture pieces I will be working on when we come home from Russia. If you are looking for something specific let me know and I'll refinish whatever you are wanting in the colors you'd like.  We are very thankful for everyone that has already purchased a cross or visited our booth. We are so blessed by you! 

Crosses for Levi :)
