GIVING is FUN. what an awesome cause! can you imagine half a million people in tents???? can you imagine losing your child because of smoke from the fire you cook their food on? these stoves save lives. they provide income, jobs and diginity for women in port au prince. they give TIME to women in haiti. they make an awesome christmas gift too…. donate in someone's honor. 🙂 giving is fun. visit TheAdventureProject.org for all the details. ………………………………………. and in other news…. my friend Pam moved to africa on saturday.
sigh.
what an adventure! pam…i miss you so much already!!!!! i am so happy God gave me Pam. she rocks. pam…i hope you don't lose internet. 🙂 keep her family in your prayers as they all adjust to life as family in AFRICA. they were obedient. and now… they live in liberia!!! i can't wait to go visit her. (i love this post about pam…..) my sister and brother in law just moved to Ethiopia at the end of October. they are ALSO doing business as mission. they are involved with a group that gives micro-loans to African women [some men]. i am so proud that they were obedient like your friends. thanks for this post. i enjoy reading your blog. i will pray for Pam and her family. what an exciting adventure for them in life following Jesus… What a fantastic opportunity for your friends! My friends from high school lived in Liberia as children. They just made a documentary about a trip they made and it is getting a lot of buzz. Here is a link to their page and documentary. Very nice, thanks for sharing. Thanks so much for all the prayers everyone! 🙂 Meggie – this post came on the heels of a very homesick day. Wow. God’s timing is perfect. More tears. I love you. Can’t wait to see you on this side of the ocean! Just lifted your friend and her family up in prayer. I mean, do we really know how hard it would be to pick up and move to ANOTHER COUNTRY? Wow, I am impressed! Her family is awesome! this made me teary! I have a friend serving w/ her family in China and my heart nearly busts when I think of her. So proud of her … and she makes me love Jesus more too. what a sweet post … so glad I stopped by here this morning. Blessings – hope you and your fam have a happy thanksgiving. 🙂 I love your heart, Meg. It’s so fun to see God moving in friend’s lives– and friends of friends. It’s a universal joy that sisters in Christ can get all excited about. Pam, I don’t even know you but I Love your heart!! My family will be lifting you up very high in prayer! this post brought tears to my eyes as my husband and i just moved back from living in africa. its such a huge adjustment but so wonderful. my heart has been heavy for my ‘2nd home’ this week. it steals your heart… but you already know that well. 🙂 I love Haiti! Been there two times and fell in love with the people. What a simple and practical way to be able to help others! thanks so much for the post about the adventure project! God is great! I’m so happy for your friend, it’s truly wonderful what’s she is doing. My family will pray for them in Africa. “I see people differently because of Pam”… Please email me! I have a question about your blog! 🙂 I’d like to do this project. Do you have any problem with me reposting this? I think this may be my “after Thanksgiving” project. Thanks. In 2010 my sister, her husband and my 5 nephews moved from SC to Botswana, sent by their church as missionaries. Your words… What an amazing adventure awaits her. God is doing amazing things in Africa. I went to Namibia in September and I know someday I will return. I will keep her in my prayers. Wow! This would be a perfect Christmas gift for my MIL who loves to cook, but needs no gifts! Is there a quick link you can add to send us to these ladies site?

……………………………………………. *read about my Mary Kay review here & enter to win $100 in MK products. I made it in last night with 3 petal bags. I am so glad I got something in. That shirt is wonderful, there is a family here that has some for their little ones so I immediately recognized it. I am going to check out the shop. I know this sounds odd, but my son would flip over an Africa shirt. He is obsessed with going, the animals, an helping people because, in his words,” God want us to help other people. It is the right thing to do!” I didn’t realize I had to send the donation now. Oops. I leave town in 2 days. And I guess you have to submit a form and wait for a reply. So sad but I don’t think I can pull it off. I promise to be more “on the ball” for the next one. What a great cause. Children always tug at my heartstrings. Happy Happy Thanksgiving to your family. Tracy Hi There! brainstorming…brainstorming…. YAY! I was hoping they would do this again!! I better get cracking….. 😉 I would love to purchase a shirt for my son! hopefully there will be a sz 6/7 in there. I ll keep on the look out! OOOOHHH! Yes! I want to do this. I have been so down because my husband has been unemployed (we retired from the military) for 6 months and we don’t know how much we’ll be able to do for our own kids, much less giving to someone else like we did last year. But I have fabric! I can sew! This will be great. Thanks! 🙂 Wow.. that’s great! This year I am going to be on top of things. I will donate. Something. Somehow. What a great cause. Have a happy Thanksgiving! Tracy Fisher Okay…I have decided…I’m making hooded baby bath towels!! Thanks for the great way to donate!!! Thanks for showing your love of Christ through your blog. And putting your money where your mouth is. :$ YES!! I want to donate something to sell!! Will see what I can come up with!! yay! I love the shop. Such a fun way to get some Christmas gifts for a good cause! i got an email from Water4Christmas challenging me to Live Without for the next 6 months starting in april. living without something different each month….a new challenge. i went through the email and i got nervous. and squirmy. and sweaty. i thought "what? not even coffee at home?! umm…..NO……i don't want to give up anything." i almost deleted the email!!! that is when i knew i HAD to do it. i have to take part in this challenge because my first reaction was NO WAY. i want to look the other way. i want to just send money. and sending money is fine….but feeling just a slight tiny tinge of what it's like to go without is more real to me. the money i would have spent on coffee….restaurants….clothing….will go to charity:water. $20 can provide someone with clean water. twenty dollars!!! i am so guilty. i drop twenty bucks on nothing….on crap that i can't even remember! so in april i will be joining the Live Without Campaign. what about you? ************************************************************************ this was on the Water4Christmas blog and it touched me. Liberia: soap and healing. from charity: water on Vimeo.
My son-in-law works for Clear Cambodia, a water filter project. After visiting Cambodia last month it is amazing how many people live without filtered water and what a difference it could make in their lives. Thanks for the thoughtful response and for clarifying things. I may have been kind of confused. I thought charity:water which is a big charity – (they raised over 7 million dollars last year) was the ones advocating this. On a small scale it is something that can be meaningful. I do understand the meaning behind the sacrifice – it’s awareness. I think it’s because I am usually aware of the luxuries I have due to past circumstance, that I don’t necessarily see the need for giving them up now that I can have them but I understand that others may need to. And, I don’t indulge all that often mainly out of habit. Plus I am a bit of a locavore if possible. I live in an increasingly more crowded suburb and I support the local businesses, and charities. As big as we are, small townness still survives, if only barely. (I don’t get my coffee from starbucks but from a local mom & pop grocery with a coffee stand, for example) I do get a bit defensive about trying to save that way of life. absolutely would love to join in! (and that wasn’t an easy yes) janine: I wasn’t going to do it. I was going to bite my tongue and not say anything. But I can’t. I have a problem with this, and it has nothing to do with you, but with the organization. I know all charities play upon our sympathies to get donations but this marketing campaign bothers me. And that is what this is by the way, a marketing strategy to garner donations. It’s the intent behind it all. They don’t care if you give up something, they don’t care if you think it will make you a better person, all they care about is you donate to them at the end of it. They want money, plain and simple. They want you to have something that is a daily reminder of them and maybe have some extra cash at the end of the month that you’ll give to them. The truth is whether they realize it or not, they want you to hurt your own community, by stopping your support of local businesses to help them. What if everyone in your community did this? What do you think would happen if no one showed up at the hair salon for a month? How many people wouldn’t be able to feed their families, pay their mortgages or rent due to lack of income? Or your local restaurant, retailer, etc. for a month? They would go out of business. You are hurting local families and the local economy which in turn helps no one. They are taking advantage of good people and I don’t like that. Maybe donate to a different water charity because although the cause is good I don’t think the way they present themselves is above board. I am stepping off of my soap box now. Thank you for the space to vent. wow..that’s a big challenge. and you are so cool sharing this with us! What a great idea, this will be an amazing time of growth for you I am sure. Good Luck Not that you need any more things to give up, but this is kind of a fun one for a great cause: I’m going to do it too! I was giving up Dr Pepper for Lent already, so I will be giving Dr Pepper money instead of coffee money, but man, I’m already having a hard time with it and this is a great idea! Thanks for sharing! Love that you are going to do this and that you shared it with us. I’ve totally done the same thing where I try to ignore something that will “cost” me something big. Glad you listened to that voice telling you to obey and do it! Wish i could! I have not heard of this but I think it’s a really cool idea! Every time I take a bath I think how lucky I am to just turn on the tap and out flows all the clean water I want. Way to go! I’m in. I love charity: water and am so glad you introduced my family to this great cause. My daughter was so inspired by Scott Harrison’s September campaign video that she decided to give up her 8th birthday and ask friends and family to donate $8 to her charity: water campaign. mycharitywater.org/ellagrace She’s half way to her $5000 goal. It makes me believe that even, I–coffee addict that I am, could give it up too. I haven’t checked out the link yet… but I’m already feeling a nervous knot in my stomach. I don’t consider myself a “high maintenance” woman, but I KNOW there are things I could give up and focus more on true needs. Oh, my. Giving up is on my mind as I gave up sweets for Lent….we’re one day in and I’m about to lose it. I also think fair-trade coffee is a great idea…we’ve tried to switch to that anyway. What could we replace that with? Desserts? Whatever it is, I’m on board. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 What a wonderful idea! Live without and help so many. I gave up my thrice weekly shopping trips to the thrift store for the month of March just because. I’ll have to think of something else for April. Thanks for posting and making me aware. This is an AWESOME opportunity…totally going to do this. Don’t they mean giving up buying coffee “out” ie: Starbucks? Great Idea. I’ve just quite chocolate for Lent. Ouch. Now, its just a suggestion but here’s my tuppence worth. What about not giving up coffee but just making sure your coffee is fairtrade. Coffee production is a really big earner for most African countries and fairtrade ensures the small farmer gets a fair deal. If everyone stopped drinking coffee, it would be a bad day for him. Just throwing it out there 🙂 Count me in! i love this meg! you’re so brave! i am so excited for you and excited for what God will teach you through this time of discipline and surrender. those things you feel you can’t give up? i think a time will come when you’ll realize how easy it is to live without them…you can do it! i was in africa. i had just slept in a bed at the YMCA in freetown and had seen a whole new world. i was a crying mess. i felt so spoiled. my heart was forever changed. i want to go back. i want to see those faces again. i want to see God there again. this was my post the day i came home. (all of my africa posts are together on the rainbow africa button at the top right.) i just got back a few weeks ago and already figuring out how to get back. my heart is always there. i still love each of these pictures. I am curious as to who you went through to go on the Africa? Was it the YMCA? I would like more information. I really want to go, but there are so many groups out there I just am not sure where to start. I have been to Africa twice once on a missions trip and once with college and you are SO right – it changes your life. Thank you for sharing your story. I love your photos! I’m so glad I stopped by today to see your wonderful, emotive pics of your visit. It is very true, you cannot spend time in Africa without being changed, and leaving some of yourself there. oh meg…the memories that flood back each time i see these pictures. it’s been heavy on my mind and heart as well. miss you, friend. Wow. What an incredible experience. You pictures are so beautiful — the people are beautiful. I would love to hear the story of how and why you went to Africa. My cousin’s daughter is going over this year. I don’t know much about it — only that it involves sewing machines. She asked me to donate money. It sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. Making a difference, changing lives . . . humility, gratitude. It doesn’t get better than that. I know two girls who need that experience. 🙂 Maybe one day, it will happen. What an incredible God we serve! To see Him working in all kinds of places, especially in countries that need His love. Thank – you for the pictures and for the encouragement and reminder to be praying for His love to spread to every single corner of the world. It sure doesn’t seem like its been a year. I remember praying for you and waiting hungrily for the pics you would share. I love the guy sewing – it needs a caption something to the effect of, “yes you too can have gorgeous muscles like these! Purchase your singer treadle machine now for only 4 easy payments of….” I remember these pictures … those in the church were haunting (in a good way) – I couldn’t shake those sweet faces for a few days. Wow, it doesn’t seem like it’s been a year! what an awesome experience! Just as you remember them… they are still thinking of you. 🙂 My sister just came back from Sierra Leone, and is so ready to go back. She went as a photographer through the Women of Hope International to not only capture the people of Sierra Leone, but to teach some of them to take pictures for the organization. Thank you for sharing these pictures. This really puts things in perspective of what she saw, because she is still working on her pictures. She was not able to show us quite yet! I am very anxious to see them! Anyhoo, thanks again! awesome, meg. i hope to do a short term mission trip in the not so distant future. This is when I very first saw your blog, and I was absolutely and utterly blown away 🙂 A bunch of our area churches do an annual missions conference. This year was unique in that all the missionaries here work with ABWE in Togo. ABWE is currently building another hospital in Mango,Togo which is a really big deal. Another ministry in Mango they talked about was a sewing school run by a native man named Nogbebji. (Here is an article about the school – http://www.abwe.org/news/article/missions-and-microeconomics-the-mango-togo-school-for-sewing/) Cannot believe that was a whole year ago, Megan. That’s crazy. Such an indelible print they’ve left on your heart… these pictures make me cry every time. i have to keep these pictures and images in front of my face to keep my mind on all of God’s creation…not just my own little world. Your time there and the way you have captured it has made a difference in me. the picture of you showing the kids the image you just took…..i can hear my little friends from africa saying “snap it. capture me.” and how precious is that little boy just to the right of the man leading prayer…his hand over his heart instantly made mine melt! The 8th picture…the small boy crying while being held, brings me to my knees in prayer for these people. Dear Lord, we are so blessed. Thank you for sharing. i love the way you have captured the moments/images. very inspiring & touching! & i really love the way you keep in touch with that guy sewing. you’re an inspiration to me in many ways…as a mom, as a crafter, photographer, blogger, etc. thank you! What a beautiful post. You have a beautiful heart Meg. Thank you for sharing your journey. aren’t missions trip amazing?! my husband and i have been on many many trips(mexico, bahamas, peru, philippines, argentina) and the one thing i have learned through them all is people are the same no matter where they live and god is still god no matter where you are. Meg, wow. Has it really been a year? I remember crying as I read every post. Our blessings are so great. So big. How often do I take them for grated and complain and worry and worry more? Meg, thank you so much for being such a beautiful, beautiful vessel that God shines so brightly through. What beautiful pictures, Meg. I know you have a very passionate heart for Africa and its people so Im curious: do you feel as if God will ever call you there to serve?(I mean for more than just a visit). Amazing … I loved this post! Thank you for sharing! Amazing … I loved this post! Thank you for sharing! Wow, a whole year already….I loved your pictures of Africa, they were so vivid and alive. Thank you for helping us to remember. Goose bumps seeing the pictures again! I still remember the boiled eggs and the vitamins and all their sweet faces…awesome. Puts my little adventure completely into perspective. I remember reading about your journey. In fact, I remember it well. So powerful. So emotional. It filled me with hope. I could feel all the love that you had for that experience and how much it changed you. I’m so glad you gave us all the reminder. Thank you! oh meg, these photos are wonderful. you can feel the emotion in them. the little boy with his hand on hhis heart in church- oh my gosh! the little boy sleeping on the backpack….the oerhead photo of the shantytown, your friend with the muscles at an old sewing machine. these images will stay with me. thank you! All the emotions I had reading your Africa posts always bubble right back up when you speak of your time there. I would love to make such a journey and help. Surely something larger could be organized? You don’t have to go to Africa to “see God”. It’s just easier to there because of the dire situation. You just have to open your eyes a little wider to see the need at home. Going there was a great thing indeed, and clearly the need there is immense. But do what you can from here. Focus your energies in your own community and you’ll see the same rewards. me too, meg. Those images are simply stunning. And make me wonder what the heck I whine about. Really, though. What do I have to whine about? Thanks for this reality check on a dull, cold March morning as I feel sorry for myself that both of my kids are sickish and I’m closing in on 41. Sigh. I can’t believe it has been a year already since you were in Africa! After reading about your trip, I started dreaming about my own trip. I’m hoping to go on a similar trip sometime in the next few years. As usual, your photos are stunning! There is much to say about this. My how a year flies, but because of your images I’ve thought of your trip many times since you’ve come back. They pop into my head when God wants to remind me of the countless blessings I have in my life and His call to serve others. Thanks. love every image…. Oh how those images tug at my heart. Thank you for sharing your images and thoughts of Africa. Isn’t it amazing. God has made this world so big and so diverse. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to travel and experience all the differences. I’m glad your heart was able to grow in this experience. I know you’ll pass a heart for all people to your children. <3 come visit me! 🙂 Wow a whole year has past… your trip blogging had such an impact on my life and your journey raised my already aware awareness too new heights. We live in Cape Town, South Africa – so much closer than you do to the very heart of poverty and it is so easy to drive by and donate goods and hand out a few coins at the stop light… and never feel the pain. So thank you for your heart wrenching trip, I remember crying over those kids and their eggs the same day I had gone to by candy for sunday school class. You certainly helped me to take nothing for granted and to give away far more than I thought we had just because someone else really did need it more. Thank-you. seems to me you have a interesting life.. all the travelling combined with your family.. wow! Such beautiful, meaningful photos. The artist’s eye has truly shown through. Wow – such powerful images. I hope to go one day. You are such an inspiration to me. I can’t believe it’s already been a year!! I loved all your posts about your Africa trip and the day that you left I cried with you!! are you missing out?
the girls at Project 320 are raising money for charity:water again this year. last year they raised $10,000. amazing. here are some of the prizes they are giving away this year… ALL of the money donated goes to charity: water. but ladies….you know it's not about the prizes. if you have $10 extra.…give today. julie's words: "Is it fair that today I whine & worry over trees & toys, visit the Project 320 blog and see HOW you can donate. read about charity: water and WHY you should donate. we are so blessed.
I love this, Meg. Thanks so much for sharing! Thank you for promoting this and having such a huge heart for the world and it’s water crisis. I donated yesterday and I will be promoting it on my blog as well. Good for you girl!! This just melts my heart! Your blog is so great anyhow I enjoy it so much but when you post about Africa and the things we, everyday, people can do it just melts me! You are awesome! Thanks for sharing this! thanks! 🙂 In our family we generally choose names and give one gift — and the cousins (kids) choose names and give one gift. This year, we changed everything and decided to donate to a cause that we found worthy. Our family has donated to charity:water — I think you were the first person that “told” me about it, so thank you! I don’t know you obviously, but I feel similar to you. I am a mom of 4 kids trying to love God, love my family and serve the world. I think that is what you are doing as well. With baby after baby I sorta put “serving the world” on the back burner. Now with my youngest almost 2 I have recently been rejuvenated, so to speak, to serve and let the Lord use me more mightily. I guess I share this to say that I get so excited to see other moms stepping out there and trying to make a difference not only in their homes but in the world too! My prayer for myself is that my heart would never grow callous to the poor and those suffering injustice! I always want my heart to be tugged by these things. Thanks for being another reminder of our blessings and how we can be a blessing to others! Sorry this is kinda long! 🙂 My comment disappeared?! Anyway, was just saying that I love, love, love the video. The precious gift of water is just wonderful. x x I for one have not heard of this project. Thank Meg, It’s something I can show my girls and we can hopefully become aware of all of our blessings while also helping at the same time. It is so important to share these messages as so often we start to believe everyone lives in the same bubble of luxury we do. Thanks for posting my picture… You are wonderful! (As always)I really appreciate you and all you do! thank you so much for sharing this. i’m going to post this on my blog as well. i have all but 2or3 followers but even 2or3 can make a difference. our family is participating. will also be praying Thank you so much for having a huge heart for the world and for water. Meg, thank you so much for telling people about Project320! Your voice is so beautiful and so many people listen! {{hugs}} last year we had a weekend in the fall where we got together to craft for Water4Christmas. this year….life has gotten in the way of having a craft weekend. could YOU make something to donate to the Water4Chistmas etsy shop? YES. the answer is yes. you can make one thing or you can make 20. i am making these t-shirts again. and some burp cloths also. do you think that we can raise enough money for a well AGAIN this christmas? i do. email me for details on where to send your items. (cdduerksen@yahoo.com) but God is BIG. even if you can only send one small item you will be making a difference. what could you make today? (ps…i wrote and posted this from the waiting room at the doctor's office…i love technology!!) UPDATED…………… THANKS! Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-23 if you make them for boys make it camo, regular and digital. some desert storm ones for the troops. wish i could sew. use your talents cuz GOD said so. I had a whole Saturday to myself as the boys were gone to a flag football tournament at church. I crafted all day and thought of other crafters across the country working too. I love this idea where everyone can be involved to help some way, using the talents we have been given. God is so good. I will like to buy a boy one or two to help out. Where can I do that? Meg – I am a Youth Minister here in Ohio. At our church, we have planted a Biblical Herb Garden and make potpourri from our harvests called Heaven Scent. On the labels we have our website on which I have a tab that lists all the herb, their Biblical references, history, and significance. If I can ship several bags to you on Monday – would that be too late??? We devote 100% of our profits to charity. Let me know if it is too late – we would love to help!!!!! I would love to donate a couple of paintings on canvas. I’ll email for the details! Bracelets and necklaces are packaged and ready to go in the mail Monday morning. I’m hoping I’ll get a few minutes to make a couple baby slings… We’re making flower fairies – we made them for fun last year and when friends saw them on our blog they wanted them for themselves. The are fussy to make, which makes selling them for a purpose all the more meaningful! Fabulous! I would love to buy some of those Africa shirts, but in onesie form…is that a possibility? Awesome idea! I can do some jewelry. Will email. I’d love to donate something…I make baby/children clothing, quilts, fabric buntings amongst some other sewn goodies! O.k. I’ll email you too…thanks for doing this! -Tyler i make magnets out of upcycled bottlecaps; will donate some. let me send u an email. If I survive Disney tomorrow I’ll email you for address…I have a princess beach bag that I’d love to donate but I don’t know if it’ll get to you in time. i will donate 1-3 tile necklaces. pls email the deatils JOYfilledfamily at gmail dot com. http://joyfilledfamily.blogspot.com/search/label/Glass%20Tile%20Necklaces I would love to donate some illustrations! This is greatness! Will you make shirts for grown-ups? I would love one. Size small. 🙂 I will send you a bunch of my cards. I emailed you for details on where to send them. I will get some items off to you soon!! And let me know when the etsy site plans to go live and I will post on my blog as well. I would love to help! I made a craft today, do think its a good one…. I’m so excited about this. I do have some ideas for crafts on our blog http://www.nurturedpath.com what a fabulous idea! i would love to send in a little something(s). please send me the address of where to send them! can i add this request to my little blog too? hmmmmmmmmmm…..oh man, Meg…I want to help…but all I can do lately is cry and yell at my kids! Only you and this great cause could help me to actually get into my crap room and make something… Count me in, for one or two simple things (and more shopping). My sister and I have a craft site and we sell our stuff at all the local craft shows. I’d love to donate something. Take a look at our website http://www.wix.com/chicsisters/chicsisters or visit our Facebook page called “chic sisters” and let me know what you’d like and where I need to send it to! awesome!!! I just e-mailed someone at Water4Christmas last night about this. 🙂 I’m also not crafty…like not crafty at all. But I will be praying that God does more than you could imagine! Love this whole idea! I am going to try to make something. I bought an africa shirt last year and I will definitely buy something this year. Now we are in the midst of beginning an ethiopian adoption, so we need some things from his native home…haha!! 🙂 Just sent you an email! So excited. Crafting is fun but crafting for a good cause is even better! I would love to buy something, but I have boys. Is there a way to do the shirts in a boy style? For you!? I’m in. I bet we can do it! I will send you some stuff! Love the idea! Sent you e-mail – happy to donate some photos. Count me in! I’ll be sending you at least 1 baby… let me see what I can do. Have a happy Thanksgiving! I will make something. I love the idea. I will think some things up this week. I am so excited!!! I WISH I were crafty…I’m only crafty with my wallet 😉 Can’t wait to see the goodies and support this great cause. Thanks for doing this, Meg 🙂 Calling all buyers…that’s me. 🙂 It doesn’t have to be Christmas-y, right? Just something that someone will buy. Right? I’m not crafty at all. We can make a tutu to match your red/pink africa shirt! We sold a few tutus on their site last year. Quick question: Does the craft have to have something to do with Africa? sent you my email. super excited to be creating with a purpose. brilliant idea! hummm. not crafty. i take pretty pictures though. But pictures of Texas and my kid so I don’t think that would help. I know lots of kiddos so I can help with buying stuff! I have an apron I would love to send for the cause. I’ll email you for the details. Thanks for doing this! I dont know how to sew but I could buy one….are you going to make boy shirts?? I’m in! I’ll make a God Box. I would make more than one but won’t have enough time! 🙁 Here’s what a God Box is… http://lltthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/11/god-box-tutorial.html Unfortunately I am not crafty. But could I place a custom order for a toddler long sleeved T and a 3-6 month onesie?
