Adoption Raffle

Have I ever told you that I suffer from OCP?  

Obsessive.

Compulsive. 

Planning.

It's a gift and a curse.

So now, as promised, I will tell you about the latest plan I have concocted.

As I said yesterday, Nathan {and Beau} and I are beginning the adoption process.  We have amazing, incredible, generous, wonderful friends that are paying for the majority of our costs, but we need to come up with $3,000+ to pay for the Home Study {$2,000 + the cost of preparing our home for the inspection} and travel expenses to pick up our baby!

I have been toying with the idea of doing some type of fundraiser to help us move forward, and Wednesday I finally devised a plan {see... OCP}.

I am so super excited to announce that the week of 

June 28th through July 2nd 

will be 

Adoption Raffle Week 

at Confessions of a Paper Freak.

I sent out an email to some friends and Sponsors on Wednesday afternoon, asking for donations that I could raffle off on my blog in order to raise the funds for our adoption costs.

I am blown away and humbled by their generous responses!

I'm still trying to figure out whether we will have one huge prize basket, or perhaps break it down into a few different themed baskets {that's how much cool stuff I am getting}.
