Hang in there blog readers, this is kind of a long one!!
Okay, there is no way to beat around the bush here. Might as well just come out and say it. As we have talked about before...adoption cost LOTS of money. I know this may come as a shock to you all, however, I need to say it...we don't have a lot of money!! ha-ha.
So here I am, asking all of YOU and all of YOUR family and friends and all of THEIR family and friends to become a part of this process. To be a part of bringing this baby boy or baby girl home. :)
No better time to start except for the present! So here we go! Fundraiser Number ONE!!
PUZZLE FUNDRAISER
Richard and I have picked out an adoption related picture and we have sent it to a company that is going to turn it into a puzzle. Our puzzle will be here in about a week.
Okay, here is how it works:
We have ordered a 513 piece puzzle!! Our puzzle pieces are going to be for "sale" for $5.00 a puzzle piece.
When you "buy" a puzzle piece, we will then put a piece of the puzzle together. And also when you buy that puzzle piece (s) we will write your name on the back of that piece.
We will be taking pictures to update you as the puzzle progresses. When every piece of the puzzle is "bought" then the puzzle will be complete. We will then frame the puzzle between two pieces of glass and hang it in the babies nursery. It will be framed in two pieces of glass so when we turn the puzzle over we can show our little one all these people who helped bring him/her home.
We are going to keep the actual picture a surprise until the puzzle is completed, but you will get to see it as the puzzle progresses!!
So just tell me on my blog, on facebook, or in person if you would like to "buy" a puzzle piece so I can get your name on the back of a piece!
If you would like to participate in this, you can either pay me in person or mail us the money at: Amber and Richard Nuzum Po Box 159 Pleasanton, KS 66075. Possibly in the future we will have a button on our blog where you can pay/donate using paypal. But for right now it's just by mail or in person.
Thank you everybody in advance. We are so excited about this. And we are SO glad that we get to include all of you in this process!
If this didn't make sense and you need more explaining just message me and I can try to explain it a little better :)
Love,
The Nuzums
Can't even tell you how excited I am about this!! To begin this fund raiser makes this whole process so personal. I can't wait for this little one (him/or her) to read every person who was involved in bringing them to our family. Love you both - thank you for including all of us! Love mom and dad
