And the Winners Are.... (Drum Roll Please!)

Dearest friends, family, and fellow bloggers!

3 weeks ago Jason and I began our journey to adoption which we kicked off with the Baby Sent from the Stars Giveaway. Words cannot express how grateful Jason and I are for all of the donations, prayer, and encouraging comments that have come in over the last three weeks.

As we bring this fund raiser to a close, I am beginning to see that the most powerful thing that we have accomplished during this fund raiser (besides the funds of course!) is the power of spreading the word. We know that this is the only way our baby will find its way to our arms. We've had people contacting myself, my husband, and my MIL to tell us strategies, fund raising ideas and even more importantly ways that might help us bring our baby home.

And this is not even mentioning the fact that we raised a grand total of $2,033.92! Plus almost $300 that came in during the BUNCO Fund raiser.

I wanna say one more thank you especially to all of the new people that Jason and I have met on our new journey. People that donated that we didn't even know personally! I have connected to many more families out there that have adopted and have been so inspired by your beautiful stories.

THANK YOU!

*A note about how we drew the winners. Because we hosted the giveaway on both Naomi's blog and Lily's, we had comments from both posts ...we combined these before random.org drew winners, and we also entered people's names who donated but did not leave comments (we had a few of those and didn't want anyone to miss out on a chance to win).

SO here are the winners!!
