In my blogging hiatus over the summer, Rachel and I did several craft sales.
We had a tent in our town's yearly celebration festival thingy on July 20/21. It was two LONG hot days, but we made $252!!
Then we did the Farmer's Market twice. We made $219 on 7/29, because it was the end of July, but very chilly (we were wearing jeans and sweatshirts and still cold), therefore people bought lots of hats and scarves. And on 8/17, we made $129, probably because it was a bit warmer!
On 9/14, we did participated in an Applefest sale, making $116!
And today, we participated in the Oktoberfest sale. It was from 9am-5pm (most sales are until 12pm or 1pm), so very long, and I wasn't feeling well, but it's over and we made $176!
Roughly half of this money is going to the Hebbe family to help them bring home their precious boys!
And the other half, brings me to today's waiting orphan with Down syndrome! Maria!
Rachel and I raising money for this sweet girl with Handiwork for Maria. She has (soon-to-be) over $16,000 in her account! Yes, SIXTEEN GRAND! That's almost all of the costs for a family to adopt her!
You wouldn't have to do much fundraising to go her and she is such a happy, joyful spirit, just waiting for you to go get her. So what are you waiting for??

And I would feature Lilly for the child stuck in Russia, but since I already did, here's a beautiful girl who is in the same region/place as Lilly and also has Down syndrome, a heart condition, and strabismus - Anastasia.
She also got a new picture the same time as Lilly... doesn't she look great?!?
