New Fobs

These will get added to the proper categories soon. In the meantime, I thought it would be easier to show off the new choices in one post. Remember, all fobs are custom made, so can be on your choice of webbing color.

He we go!

My Favorite things Baby Basket

One of the truly best things that has happened since becoming involved in the adoption community has been meeting such wonderful people. I feel blessed to have made some amazing friends. I can't wait to get to know one of my newest online adoption-brought-us-together friends better. Her name is Casey and she is in the process of adoption two little ones from Congo.

We "met" last month when she contacted me about my key fobs. She is doing one of the neatest fundraisers I have come across. She puts together these amazing themed 'baskets' of her favorite items and donations to their adoption fund get a number assigned toward the drawing for the winner of the basket. Casey is an amazing photographer, so not only are the baskets stunning with amazing products, but her images make me crave what she has assembled even more!

Anyway, Casey told me that she was going to do baby boy and baby girl themed baskets in July and wanted to include key fobs. Every mom needs a handy way to carry (and easily find) her keys. She was at her Bible study and noticed the key fob of a friend. Her friend had purchased the fob here, from me, and told Casey about my own adoption fundraiser selling my hand-crafted key fobs. How cool! She sent me the color themes for each basket and I found fabrics to coordinate and made fobs to donate to her baskets. She also purchased a slew for her family!!

Today Casey unveiled her Baby Boy Basket.

WOW!

She has some amazing products any new mom would be thrilled to have. I'm tickled to see one of my fobs included.

You can visit Casey here

Happy New Year!

How cool is it that today is 1.1.11!!! What a fun birthday that would be.

Anyway, Happy New Year!

We ended up with a nice amount of orders in November/December. It was fun to think that Christmas morning my handiwork was being gifted all around the country. I like thinking about stuff like that. I remember asking some girlfriends in college (I went to school in a very touristy town) if they ever thought about how many tushies had sat on the worn benches we were sitting on. The puzzled expressions on their faces revealed that I was the only one who pondered such things. But I digress....

Where was I?

Oh, yes!

Key Fobs.

Ribbon and fabric and webbing was carefully organized and inventoried last week. I also went through my fabric stash that remained from my headband sewing days and came up with enough for some limited edition mini collections I'll be adding here in a few days. I also have bags of vintage fabric from my grandmother I need to go through and evaluate to see if any of it is fob worthy. Gotta admit- so far a lot of it is plain u g l y. The girlies have been using some of it to learn to sew on the new machine Santa brought them. So far their American Girl dolls haven't voiced a concern over the, um, unique, fabrics in their new skirts. Thankfully I have a more discerning eye.

So the jist is...

new fobs soon.

'Tis the Season

Can you believe that it's already here?

What am I referring to? Holiday shopping season, of course!



I know, it's a bit crazy to have Halloween candy still on store shelves and be thinking about Christmas, but in a matter of days the stores will start decking the halls and playing the carols.

Why not cross a few gift recipients off your list right off the bat? Our wristlet key fobs are a great gift that almost anybody can use! Choose to have it embroidered and that extra personalization shows that you put forth some effort into selecting their gift. Key fobs are perfect stocking stuffers. We have been gifting them for years to teachers, the bus driver, babysitters, co workers, secret pals, family and friends! A dear friend recently picked one up for her six year old... for her library card. What a great idea!

With hundreds of ribbon and fabric choices there is sure to be a color or theme to suit everyone on your list.

Go ahead, order early. Avoid the rush and give a hand made gift that helps support a great cause...a forever family!

Happy Shopping!!

Soon...

I know I've said it before, but now I promise! Many new Key Fob styles will be added this weekend!

I have been scouring the fabric stores and loading up on some fabulous new fabrics and ribbon prints that are just lovely for fall.

I've sewn and photographed over 30 new offerings and just have to get them named and uploaded.

I've been blessed with orders for fobs and hair bows from my hair accessory business, Girly Girl Bowtique , and have been super busy! And I've returned to work teaching this week, so it's been pretty hectic.

I'm off to an open house show this afternoon and I have another one Monday evening. The Lord has been so good to bless me with these opportunities to share my products and my cause!

Stay tuned... they are coming soon!!

Crazy Love!!

I've been a longtime follower of Linny's blog A Place Called Simplicity. She has just posted Crazy Love Challenge #5 and I'm linking our little fundraising site.

We believe that our family has been called to adopt. Finances are a stumbling block, but we know that God will equip us to complete that which He has called us to do.

I love this quote by Oswald Chambers:

"If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account. Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power."
-Oswald Chambers

We are depending fully on Him to provide what we need to bring our daughter home. Isn't that what we ought to be doing all the time anyway?
