I haven't posted in awhile because it's been a bit crazy around here. We have been making lots of bracelets to sell at a local carnival. My pastor offered to buy our booth and I'm so glad he did, because I hadn't even thought about selling the bracelets like that. So for the last three weeks I have been busy getting ready. We made over a hundred bracelets to take with us. My friend, Konnette, made a ton to help us out and I'm so glad she did! She probably made close to half of what we took. Life. Saver. (She also sat in the booth with me the entire time. Thank you again, Konnette!)

We did well and sold over $500 worth! (I also learned a lot too, so if we do this again elsewhere, I'll have a better idea of what to do and not to do.) Lots of our church family was there since this carnival is a yearly event that we help serve, so it was a beautiful day filled with friends sitting with us and buying bracelets. My church family has been so supportive of us in this process, not only financially but prayerfully as well, and I'm so grateful for them.

Yesterday was the first day in a month or so that I didn't touch a bracelet. It was kinda nice. I have orders to fill from the carnival and will be starting on them today.
Adoption update: Home study should be done this week. It would have been done last week, but one of the key players was out sick.
So glad you did good with the carnival sales. Been praying for you. Was about to send an email to see how it went when I saw that you had posted. Love you and will continue praying.
