"Yard sale, t-shirts, Thirty-One, Oh my!"

Hello to all of our faithful followers.  The last week has been a little crazy here at the Wilde house.  We have had several possibilities this week as far as situations that could have resulted in us being matched with a birth mom. However, God is really teaching us to rely on our own discernment as well as on that of our wise councel.  It is so hard when you are in this process to say "no" to a baby that you could potentially bring home,  the reality of it though, is that we are not out to just get "a" baby.  We are instead, trusting God to bring us "our" baby through the right situation and at the right time.  So we continue to wait and try hard to do so with a hopeful, trusting heart and a positive attitude....which is naturally easier sometimes than others.  What can you do, though.  You certainly cannot make it happen any more quickly.  I'll tell you what I do...I throw myself into planning FUNDRAISERS!  Yay!!! :)

So first things first.  Our (hopefully) giganto yard sale/ bake sale/ sale of some of my artwork and crafts is set for Sunday/ September 21st from 9am-3ish pm. This amazing fundraiser will take place in the parking lot of Sage Hair Studio (where I work) located directly across the street from the Burger King in Dawsonville that sits on Hwy 53 very close to its intersection with GA 400.  There WILL be signs the day of so if you can make it to the Outlet Mall we will get you the rest of the way here. ;)  Naturally, we would LOVE to see each of your beautiful faces at this event, but there are others ways that you can get involved if you so choose as well.  First of all, we need stuff to sell!  So there is no better time for your yearly purge than now.  Any items, big or small, that you have and don't want anymore, and you think will sell, bring them on!  Please FB message Ron or myself or email us at adoptwilde@gmail.com to arrange pickup or dropoff.  Also, to any of our North Lanier people wishing to donate items, my awesome sister, Rachel Harper, has offered to get reasonably sized donations from you at church on Sundays or Wednesdays.  You can message her directly or go through Ron or I. We are also going to be having a bake sale at this event so if any of you feel like tapping into your inner Betty Crocker and donating some yumminess for us to sale, it would be MUCH appreciated! Again please contact us through FB or email, adoptwilde@gmail.com, to arrange pick up or drop off of your donations.  Thank you all in advance for helping to make this event a success!

Next topic of discussion....T-shirts!  Who doesn't enjoy a new comfy t-shirt!  Especially one so cool as our "Project Wilde Child...143 million orphans MINUS ONE" t-shirst.  I'm having some difficulty presently uploading pics of the actual shirts, but I hopefully will be able to at least get it up on FB.  In the meantime, just know they are awesome!  They are a gender nuetral charcoal gray with deep red and black writing.  There is an order form that can be accessed on the right side of our blog page.  We are selling the shirts for $15 each for pickup (same offer from Rachel applies to shirts as well, North Lanier peeps ;) .  For those of you needing the shirts to be shipped, they will be $15 per shirt + $5 shipping for the first shirt in your order and an additional $2 per shirt after that.  At this point our ordering setup only allows 3 shirts per order and only adult sizes S-2XL.  If you are wishing to purchase more than 3 at one time or a child's sized shirt, please email us at adoptwilde@gmail.com and we will get you taken care of!

Lastly,  one of my amazing co-workers is a Thirty-One consultant and she has graciously offered to sponsor a fundraiser for us.  I do not have all of the details yet, but they are coming VERY soon...so stay tuned!!!

As always, thank you so much for your interest in our story and for your support whether prayerfully, financially, or through your donations of yumm-o treats or yard saleable items!  Please continue to pray for our patience and that we maintain hopeful and trusting hearts while we wait!  We appreciate and love each of you and are fully aware of how blessed we are to have each of you on this ride with us!
