$600 raised!

Thanks to all who bought a raffle ticket for the IPOD. This fundraiser hosted by Sally brought in $600! Praise the Lord! And her idea of applying it forward is catching on. Not only has Kelly offered to do a fundraiser, but I will also announce another woman who has offered to do the same thing! And once we bring Alexsey home, I plan to pay it forward myself! What a huge blessing this is! To understand how much $600 actually means in this adoption, let me put it to you this way. Our train tickets to and from Kiev to the region where Alexsey is are now covered. How exciting!

Julia has been busy this weekend. Here is the beautiful scarf she made for someone.

She also made this neat headband. Since they take a little less time than a dishcloth, we thought $5 would be a good price. If anyone would like to place an order, please specify color.


This is another order completed this weekend. Some of the colors are just beautiful. Thanks to those that donated yarn!


Julia has inspired Rachel to start knitting.

Rachel knitted a scarf for Julia.

Rachel knitted a scarf for her friend at school.

And Rachel knitted a scarf for the mother of her previous family. I am so proud of her for deciding to do this!

And now she wants all of you to know that she is also taking orders for scarfs only to raise money that will go directly to cover Alexsey's adoption costs! So please, if you were thinking of ordering a scarf, please have Rachel make you one....... it will allow Julia to catch up on all of her orders!
