His Timing

But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
    the purposes of his heart through all generations.
Psalms 33:11 

My journey to our daughter and her journey to us are both written by the same God. The same God who wrote Joseph's (in Genesis) story and Jesus' story. Nothing is by chance. I am not waiting for her, I am waiting for the Lord to piece our stories together.

I am tempted to guess and second guess his timing. But, then am I really trusting in Him?
He is all knowing, all powerful, almighty.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding. 

 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Adoption Fundraising

All of the proceeds go towards our adoption fund. The jewelry has been hand crafted by my mother-in-law or myself. 

The button on the right or page selection at the top of the blog will get you to the photos.

If you would like to make a purchase, please email me at alifogarty@gmail.com. I will accept email orders Monday - Friday. I will ship items on the following Monday (has to avoid dragging my 2 yr old to the post office more than necessary). Thank you for understanding. If you need items mailed quicker please let me know. I will try to accommodate.  

Please add $2.50 for shipping and packaging materials.  

I have labeled each item with a letter. Be sure to include the letter directly to the right of the photograph in your e-mail.

Earrings are 1 for $10 or 3 for $25. The bracelets are labelled with a price. 

Orders will be processed in the order received. I will try to remove pictures of items sold quickly, but can not guarantee item will be available. 

Thank you!!

Big Hearts

These two ladies, Jenn and Courtney...

 blessed the socks off our family last night!

Remember this post about how my mother in law donated TONS of her handmade jewelry to raise money for our adoption? Well, last night was the first big event! And a very successful one, I might add. We have very generous friends! There is still plenty to sell, so I hope to get them on the blog soon for Christmas shopping!

 My handy hubby helped with the table display ;)

Courtney has been a very busy bee crafting on our behalf. Her sweet girlie and baby gifts (below) were the perfect addition to the party. She also helped host the party and handled the "cash register" most of the evening.

Somehow in the excitement, I missed taking a photo of the delicious desserts and beverages Jenn brought and provided (including a Sugar Plum cocktail she is mixing in the first picture). It was beautiful and my home has never smelled better and there were lots of leftovers for us to enjoy. I am also extremely sad that I did not get a picture of the 3 of us. Maybe we can stage one;)

My mom and sister were also so helpful, as usual, they are such quiet servants, busying themselves to help whenever they can. I am blessed!

I love watching God move in people's hearts. And I love how he is blessing our family with the generosity and curiosity of others. He is providing and it's incredible to watch.

Our little girl has a huge fan club. I am in awe!

Mim, we wish you could have been there last night! Can't wait to hear all about your trip. Thanks a million!
