{Purposeful Giveaway} Sonya for Cassie: Artwork for Adoption

11.18.11

This is Cassie. 
Well, she’s Cassie on this side of the world. 
In Guangdong, where she is living now and has her whole life, she’s Zhong Feng Mei.
And, she is super super cute, isn’t she?
And, this is Sonya. 
Sonya’s 8 and lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana with her mom and dad, though she started her life in Guangdong too.
And, she’s eagerly waiting to become Cassie’s big sister in just a couple weeks.

Sonya is pretty amazing. At 8 years old, she has an insatiable love for the outdoors and would rather be dribbling a basketball or shooting her bow and arrow over playing with dolls any day. She loves to sing and whistle and build interesting things with cardboard boxes–I like this girl. Sonya especially loves art. In fact, she attends classes at a professional art studio where she is creating masterpieces…seriously.

In an effort to make sure she would not be left behind as her parents travel to China in just a couple weeks now to bring home Cassie, Sonya devised a plan to raise enough money to cover her own travel costs. Sonya’s plan involved selling her very own artwork on her mom’s blog. It didn’t take her long to reach her goal of $500. So, she came up with a new plan to help pay her sister’s way home.

Her goal is $1,000. And, she has raised about half of that so far. And, it’s no wonder. Masterpieces, people.

One of you will have the opportunity to choose 3 of your favorite prints to be sent directly to you. Sonya’s mom Cheryl will be sure to slip them in the mail before they fly across the world on December 2nd.

And, the rest of you, please head on over and consider purchasing a print for under $10. That’s nothing. Nothing for something…and something big.

I’ll choose a winner using random.org after that.

So many more giveaways to go–I can’t wait to show you what’s coming!

He must have known I needed a laugh

Drew came downstairs while I was frantically trying to finish up an editing job like this:

That’s pirate gear and his Santa beard from Halloween.
When asked who he was, he told me “Whitebeard…you know, like Blackbeard?”
I love this kid.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
