(unofficial) good news!

This is all very unofficial, but we've been matched with a little girl!  We're so excited and overwhelmed.  We still have quite a bit of paperwork to gather, and about 7-12 months before we can go get her, but we're feeling really hopeful right now.  I wish I could share pictures!!

So, in the meantime, we have a good chunk of money to raise so we can bring our girl home.  I've been busy "owling" this weekend.  I've sold several -- 5 more and we have our application fees covered!  Here are some more pictures, to tempt you!  :-)

Here's the scoop!

I'm so happy about all the interest in the owls!

I'm asking for a $20 donation toward our adoption fund for each owl (2 for $35). Depending on how many orders I get and if I have supplies on hand,  I probably need a couple weeks turn-around time.   You can pick colors -- if I don't have the right color fabric on hand, I can get it, it just might take me a little longer.

So, if you want an owl, send me an email (lucybelle712 at yahoo.com or facebook message) letting me know:
1. how many you want,
2. what color(s) --if you like the ones in the pictures, I can pretty closely replicate those. I also currently have pink, brown, and teal fuzzy fabric for the bodies, and some fleece and flannels, too...and others to come!
3.  when you'd like to have it, so I can prioritize if you need one in time  for a baby shower or birthday or whatever.  
4. if you live in Columbus, we can arrange a delivery or way to meet up; if you need it shipped to you, send me your address.  

Checks can be made to me and all funds will go straight into our savings account for our upcoming adoption expenses.  I will email you with my address and any follow-up details.  Let me know if you have any questions!

Whoooo wants an owl??

Not much to report these days...just waiting!  We're hoping for a referral soon, but until then we just wait.

I had a long weekend this weekend -- took Friday off to add to my Labor Day Monday.  I think I would be much more productive in general if I had a 4-day weekend every week!   We took pictures of some of the nicer items left over from our yard sale and advertised them on craigslist this morning.  If you need a desk, dining table, weight equipment, a vintage salon hair dryer chair, a JOBOX, or a nice Ikea coffee table, let me know!  We'll make you a deal!  :-)

I also worked on gifts for 2 special little friends of mine.  I'm planning on selling these owl guys (well not these exact ones -- I will need to make more!).   $20 each and all proceeds will go to our adoption fund.  If you're interested, let me know! You or a little friend of yours needs one of these.  I know it's early to start thinking of the holidays, but these would be great Christmas gifts!
