Jane and Joshua for The Sparrow Fund {Giveaway}
Adyan’s a mom of two, a full-time teacher, and a fabric-obsessed creator of all things fun. You’ll quickly realize that she specializes in all things bright, fun with the cutest appliqued t-shirts and onesies as well as other bright, fun accessories for babies and kids, boys and girls.
Aren’t those Russian doll tops just precious? I’m still eyeing those up…In the meantime, here’s what I found that we couldn’t live without. And, I’m sorta hoping it gets here for this weekend because we’re headed somewhere special where I think this will get some good use.
Adyan’s one of the 50+ business partners committed to giving 10% of their total sales this May to support adoptive families. And, she giving away a little something here just to brighten up the fun and so that we can drive some traffic over and raise awareness of the Build the Nest fundraiser going on this month to benefit The Sparrow Fund’s work to support adoptive families.
Enter to win these adorable little earrings that will go with ev.er.y.thing. And, go check out all the partners’ sites. (If you leave a comment naming just one thing you have ordered/purchased from one of them this month, you get an extra 10 entries for any of the giveaways going on right now…and there are quite a few!)

Casca Coumo for The Sparrow Fund {Giveaway}
There is great significance in remembering where you came from;
it brings more clarity to where you are going.
When I happened upon Cassie’s Etsy store, I knew I found something I could get really excited about promoting—especially because this one is perfect for me.
especially since as I type, my husband is climbing the Great Wall. Seriously. Right now.
Wouldn’t it look so cute on a shorter chain and then one of these on a longer chain?
Cassie has joined our 50+ partners giving 10% of their total sales this May to support adoptive families. And, she has generously offered to give away one custom necklace of the winner’s choice here (worth $35) so that we can drive some traffic over here and raise awareness of the Build the Nest fundraiser going on this month to benefit The Sparrow Fund’s work to support adoptive families.
Enter now and try to win this necklace; you’ll love it. And, go check out all the partners’ sites. (If you leave a comment naming just one thing you have ordered/purchased from one of them this month, you get an extra 10 entries for any of the giveaways going on right now…and there are quite a few!)

You in the Word for The Sparrow Fund {Giveaway}
You in the Word. Personalized love letters from the heart of God’s Word uniquely created by literary artist, Colleen Marquez, author of the beautiful adoption book A Gift for Little Tree.
You provide the name. She provides the words made into art, prayerfully weaving names through Scripture to create art. Each piece is 11” x 14” and comes ready to present and hang. Here’s one example…
And, here’s my favorite one—it’s a new design based on the illustrations from her new book. Simply beautiful.
Colleen’s You in the Word is one of the 50+ businesses giving 10% of their total sales this May to support adoptive families. And, she has generously offered to give away one custom piece here (worth $75) so that we can drive some traffic over here and raise awareness of the Build the Nest fundraiser going on this month to benefit The Sparrow Fund’s work to support adoptive families.
Go ahead and enter to win this custom piece! And, go check out all the partners’ sites. (If you leave a comment naming just one thing you have ordered/purchased from one of them this month, you get an extra 10 entries for any of the giveaways going on right now…and there are quite a few!)

Bird in December for The Sparrow Fund {Giveaway}
My Great Auntie Laverne is truly Laverne Queen of Tea. She’s got the tea she likes and that’s that. When I saw Bird in December‘s tea wallets, I had to order one and have it sent directly to Aunt Verne. No more frustration when her host or restaurant doesn’t have her leaves of choice. Now, she can make every place BYOT. Can’t wait to hear how she likes it.
Given the age and how icky looking my wallet is looking and how low priced these are, I’m thinking I may need to order one of her regular wallets for myself. Wish I could enter my own giveaway. Alas, I cannot. But, you can.
Monica’s shop is one of the 50+ businesses giving 10% of their total sales this May to support adoptive families. And, she is giving away the cutest set of sparrow printed wallets here—ones not available on her site!—so that we can drive some traffic over here and raise awareness of the Build the Nest fundraiser going on this month to benefit The Sparrow Fund’s work to support adoptive families.
So, go ahead and enter to win the matching tea wallet and folded wallet for your cashola. And, go check out all the partners’ sites. (If you leave a comment naming just one thing you have ordered/purchased from one of them this month, you get an extra 10 entries for any of the giveaways going on right now…and there are quite a few!)
