FUNdraising!

We have a few great new ways to raise money for our adoption.  Things I think you would probably buy anyway!  Before we know it, we will have a lot of our major expenses due (airline tickets, lawyer fees, travel) so your help would be greatly appreciated.

First up... Scentsy. I just got introduced to Scentsy a few weeks ago. I must say I am impressed with mine so far. These are wickless scent warmers that really do fill your house with wonderful smells in a short amount of time. Plus, you don't have to worry about burning your house down or your kids getting burned. I know a lot of you are already Scentsy-addicts, so this will be perfect for you. Kylie Phillips, has graciously offered to do a fundraising catalog and home show for me. She is giving up all of her commission to Mercy. How cool is that! Plus, the new Spring catalog just came out with all new stuff. So, if you are already familiar with Scentsy and know what you would like or if you live out of town you can go here to shop online.  Just click on my party that is listed on the left side of the pade.  Or, if you live in the greater Mulvane area, I am having a Scentsy party at my house on Thursday, April 8th, at 6:30pm. You can try out of all of the different scents, look at the different styles of warmers, and most importantly, enjoy good girl time! Anyone is welcome to the party, so invite a few friends to come with you. If you live nearby, but can't make it to the party, I will have a basket of sample scents. Let me know and I'll bring it by for you to try out.  Kylie also makes fabulous hair bows and headbands. They are too cute! Here are a few examples. She'll have these available at my house too. I can't wait to put a few on Mercy!

 

Next up... Tupperware.  I'm hosting a catalog party for Tupperware.  40% of all sales will go towards adoption expenses!  If you have not checked out Tupperware products in a while, you are in for a treat.   You can look at the products online or I will have catalogs available.  It would be great if a few of you would be willing to take the catalogs to work or to share with your friends/family.  Please let me know if you would be willing to do this for us.  It would be a huge help!  I'll post the link to the online shopping site as soon as I get it.  Orders for this party will be placed at the end of the month when Tupperware offers a free shipping deal for orders going through me (not out of town or online orders).

Also, I will be placing the 2nd t-shirt order next week.  So if you or someone you know would like one please let me know ASAP.  Just send me an e-mail with your size (melissabusby@hotmail.com).    Here's a pic of one little cutie modeling his Mercy shirt. Don't forget to send me a photo of you in yours!!

Finally, a few of you have told me I need to post donation information again... so here it goes.   If anyone would like to make a donation to our adoption fund you have a couple of options.  If you need a tax-donation receipt you can send donations through our church.  Send them to First Baptist Church, Attn. Financial Secretary, PO Box 69, Mulvane, KS 67110.  Please attach a note asking for the money to go toward our trip fund.  If you would like to remain anonymous or for the amount to be anonymous you may also request that in your note.  Other donations can be made through PayPal.  Just go to the "Send Money" tab,  Enter my email address (melissabusby@hotmail.com) and then an amount.  Then click the "personal" tab at the bottom and mark "gift".  

Thank you again for your love and support!
