T-Shirts...Fundraiser #1


As I said in our announcement post, adoption can be extremely expensive.  We are trying to watch our finances so that we are able to care for our baby when he/she arrives.  In order to do that, we are going to try to raise money throughout our wait to cover some of the cost of adoption.  Our next BIG expense will be at the end of our home study which is coming very soon!  The first fundraiser that we have planned is to sell t-shirts.  The t-shirts are not just to help us earn money for the cost, but also to help us bathe Baby Shook and our adoption process in prayer.  We are asking for you to say a quick prayer for our baby every time you wear our shirt or toss it in the washing machine.  It is overwhelming to think of how many prayers Baby Shook will receive through just one t-shirt!  

The talented Catherine Ann Herrington Davis took our scrap paper and made it into a very cute design.  Michael and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and the wonderful design that you helped us with.

Introducing our T-shirts (insert drum roll) HA!

We have two colors: Black and Sports Grey.  The sports grey is more of our man color and the black is more of a girly t-shirt.  (In my opinion)  But the grey and black looks great for either gender.  Both turned out very CUTE! I will be sporting both colors at some point in time. HA!  Thank you to everyone who has already requested one or more of our shirts.  You are a large part of bringing home our baby!  If you are interested in purchasing one for yourself, for a family member, or for a friend, simply contact me or leave a comment.  I will be happy to get you the shirt of your choice.  You may also contact any of our family members and they will lead you to the right place.  I just volunteered our family for that so I hope they don’t mind! HA! 
We believe prayer works!!       
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.  Matthew 21:22
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  Mark 11:24
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.  Jeremiah 33:3
These are God’s Promises!
This is the reason we are asking for prayer support with your purchase of a t-shirt.  Please join us through our journey to bring Baby Shook home.  Send us a picture of you and your family in your t-shirt to show your prayer support for Baby Shook.  Michael and I are working on a baby book and would love to place your photo in the book.  We will tell Baby Shook how much he/she was prayed for before we even knew them.  It will be amazing to show the power of prayer through a baby book of photos to our child with your help.  Thank you in advance!  We can’t wait to finish this book! 
You may send your picture to my e-mail address: ginshook25@aol.com
