Jewelry anyone? A special piece for you or as a gift?
A friend/co-worker is helping me to host a Silpada jewelry party that you are welcome to attend if you live nearby. If not, you can order online if interested. She is kindly organizing and donating so that 30% of purchases got to Vitaly's adoption fund! Thanks Kristin :) See the info below for more details. Any questions, contact Kristin or me.

A few notes about FUN-draisers...
*I love the idea of many hearts and hands helping to bring a child to his family. Can you imagine when we show him the list of how many were a part of his coming? So many he doesn't even know? For a child who has been without for so long, what an outpouring of love it will seem to him!
*I also want what we do to have a bit of Vitaly in it, so each FUN-draiser will have a connection with something that he enjoys. In this case - BLING! He went through my jewelry box when here, found a heavy silver necklace with large links and decided that it made him look super cool. Grammie gave him his own, smaller, cooler necklace for a belated birthday gift - he never took it off. Dad brought him a woven bracelet from Guatemala and it left his arm only for bath time :) So, a jewelry FUN-draiser fits!
*Finally, if jewelry isn't your thing, no worries. Just an opportunity for those who are interested to join in with us. If you'd rather just donate, click the button to the right or look at past blogs for the New Horizons giving option. If you'd prefer to pray or just follow this blog, that is okay too. Getting the story of these kids out is my main goal, other than bringing him home.
Celebrating: phone and email connections that allow us to talk/chat on occasion; Vitaly keeps asking to come back :)
Waiting: to tell him that we want him to be a part of our family (have to wait on the court there); also waiting for clearances from police and home study folks to process documents; waiting for final permission from his director to bring him home for Christmas too.
MUCH THANKS to all of you who are with us in this adventure in any way! <3
**At this Silpada Fundraiser Event, you can help Sue and her family in their adoption pursuits of an amazing young boy, Vitaly, by purchasing beautifully handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry at a fun Party with no formal presentations - just friends and fabulous jewelry! You can come and go as you please, since we will be in the back private room at Chevy's Restaurant from 4:00-6:00! There will be some delicious appetizers out for you to enjoy, so grab your favorite beverage at the bar and come to see and support some great friends with a great cause. 30% of all jewelry sold at the event will go towards bringing their Vitaly home! Feel free to bring a friend...or two! And if you can't make it but would still like to help, please visit my online boutique where you can place an order. Just be sure to choose the option to add your order to this event! Although we are fundraising for Sue and her family, please look for Kristin O'Neil as the party host!!
