My Overthinking

Philly Area mom, Life forever changed by adoption

My Tree Treasury

I’ve got a think for birds. And, I’ve got a thing for trees. Put me in a store with a gazillion different eye-catching thingies, and I’ll find the branches and songbirds. 
Here are a few that caught my eye from some of The Sparrow Fund’s 2012 partners.
This print of birch trees from Thirteenth Story. Looks like something my kids would absolutely love to make up a story to go with it. 

Only $6.50 for these 5 Cards from Yes Teacher. If someone sent me this in the mail or hid it in the book I was reading, I would no doubt be having a groovy day. And, everybody needs a few groovy days.

Ooo….This Tree necklace from Peace of Mind is so pretty. Have I shared that I also have a thing for green?
Amylee must have a thing for trees too. This Tree art is one of several different tree designs she has created that are so great. Modern, fun trees with a message. 
This Skirt named “Simplicity Bark” from Red Pajamas with a cute gathered pocket could be just the tree accessory your little one needs. And, for only $15, you may want to get a couple more while you’re on her site. Lynette chooses the most fun fabrics. I love every piece. 
Have I also shared that I can totally be sucked in by marketing? Valerie at Ruffled Feathers just announced her new soft knot dolls–and the first one is named Lydia Love. Seriously? Oh my. Sweet Asian eyes–have you noticed how hard it is to get those right on dolls? Tree fabric. Red with pink polka dots (also have a thing for red and pink together). AND, Lydia Love? 

Get clickin’ and go snag some of these up before someone else does. And, when you do, go share what you purchased HERE so that The Sparrow Fund can get 110% of your total purchase. 
Hard to resist, isn’t it?

A challenge I’m doing cartwheels over

I’ve been working hard to promote The Sparrow Fund’s May fundraiser to Build the Nest.

When I asked online for bloggers to help spread the word by sharing their sidebar with us by adding this button (  ——–> see said button), I was not expecting to get this message:

I will personally match shopping made up to 1000.00.

How does that work??

wow.

She went onto to tell me how much she appreciates what The Sparrow Fund is doing and how she wants to encourage the businesses who have made such a big commitment to give 10% of sales to support adoption. She wanted to challenge people to step up and support the work and the businesses too.

And, she posted a blog entry today with that challenge — for everyone who comments there with their first name, the store name where they shopped, and the total amount spent — Leah will MATCH dollar for dollar in a donation directly to The Sparrow Fund up to $1,000.

So, if you make a purchase in the next 2 days from any of those stores, not only will 10% of your purchase go to The Sparrow Fund, you can make that 110% simply by commenting on her blog.

In case you needed an excuse to shop, I think you officially have one.

1. Check out the links to our partners HERE.
2. Purchase something or somethings–anything from jewelry to books to baby gifts to wall art.
3. Go make sure Leah knows you did by commenting on her blog post HERE with your first name, the store name, and the total amount of your purchase. 

We have until the end of the day on the 16th.

I know we can do it.

And, I’m already in awe of how God is multiplying that 10%…just like we knew He would.
