It's fundraiser time!!! For our VERY FIRST adoption fundraiser, we are selling t-shirts! Bonfire is a great company, and they take care of everything to make quality t-shirts and ship them to everyone who participates! No shoddy screen printing by yours truly on my kitchen table. If you have professional screen printing or vinyl skills, I commend you, but we. do. not. The Design: We chose the "Love is Action" phrase for our blog and our shirts because that truly embodies the heart behind our adoption and our faith. If you really believe God loves people, and He wants YOU to be a part of His story, go out and do something! Hand out water bottles or wool socks to the homeless in your city. (No homeless? GO FIND THEM.) Volunteer to help with the kids at your church - trust me, this is a tangible way to love on young parents. Learn to crochet, and make beanies for the NICU at your local hospital! Start by SMILING at people. It's easy and rare. Get on your knees in your home, and PRAY for your nation, your neighbors, your first responders, your friends, strangers who don't know Jesus, children who need loving families, children who are separated from their families, anybody that pops into your mind! You better believe prayer is an ACTION. We chose the colors to reflect Chinese culture! Every culture assigns meaning to color, whether we realize it or not! In the U.S. we might associate red & pink with love, yellow roses with friendship OR yellow ribbons with military support, and we associate black with death & mourning. Red is a popular color in Chinese culture, symbolizing luck, joy, and happiness. Yellow is an imperial color in traditional Chinese color symbolism, representing power, royalty, and prosperity. And finally, we threw in maroon as a dark red option, because it is more flattering on some people! ;) I'm practical too you know. I really love the circle behind the words because it is messy, like paint. Loving people, and for goodness sakes, loving CHILDREN is not a task for the faint of heart! It is not a science, we can't do it perfectly. We do our best to show love to others like Jesus loved us, but we aren't perfect. Only He is! The Cost: .𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭: $24.99 "𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭": $11 of each shirt goes to our adoption fund. If you are not comfortable with this number, you are of course welcome to donate directly to our adoption fund (tax-deductible for you, but keeps 5% for the nonprofit) or venmo/paypal us. (Contact Rebecca for our user names) 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠: $2 to send to me in the Treasure Valley to deliver to YOU. $6.50 to ship anywhere else. . 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬:Red, Maroon, Gold 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐬:Adult XS-4XL When Will I Get My Shirt? Our shirt campaign will run for 3 weeks. We have set a big goal to sell 100 shirts in 21 days. Orders will begin shipping on February 1st, and arrive to your house (or mine if you choose that option) by about Feburary 11th! Just in time to wear on Valentine's Day! SHARE We will not sell 100 shirts unless some of our friends are willing to SHARE the link on social media. (If you are active on platforms OTHER than faebook, that would be even more helpful, since we are not. But sharing on facebook is still helpful!!!) If you would like to help us with your influence, please share the link to our shirt campaign and write a sentence about how you know us so people we be more likely to click the link.
