I think that craft night and bake sales are good ideas. Have you looked into Just for coffee?? People can buy coffee and a portion goes to you guys. That could be another option.Venessahttp://vscrazyblessedlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169338736792936301.post-39532564660410411932010-09-12T13:04:28.294-07:002010-09-12T13:04:28.294-07:00I'm a big fan of the homemade auction, just le...I'm a big fan of the homemade auction, just let me know when I can start crafting and spreading the word. I asked a few people at church today and they said that they would love to donate.

One thing that may or may not be a viable option would be to solicit sellers who would consider donating a portion of their proceeds during a certain time frame for a big promotion on your website, then asking followers to refer people and promote it on their own blogs. People always love hearing about cute new products :-)Jenny @ Practically Perfect...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12590373823861775665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169338736792936301.post-80648780174858810012010-09-11T13:47:45.456-07:002010-09-11T13:47:45.456-07:00Brantley,

We (you and I) are on the same road, different path. I wanted to suggest to you an idea that I read on another blog. A family searched for a special picture that they would like to hang in the the nursery. They had the picture made into a 1000 piece puzzle. Then they "sold" puzzle pieces for $1 each. As the pieces were sold the name of the donor was written on the back of a puzzle piece. When they were all sold the puzzle was assembled and hung. The plan is to show the child the back of the puzzle one day. This shows them how many people worked so hard to bring them home. Plus, they raised $1000 bucks! Just an idea!<br /><br />Joy KinardJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493608864888219127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169338736792936301.post-44221428193623342802010-09-10T14:10:11.876-07:002010-09-10T14:10:11.876-07:00We had a bake sale at our church one Sunday after ...We had a bake sale at our church one Sunday after the morning service and raised $1700! It was amazing! It was all profit because all of the baked goods were donated by ladies in the church. We're planning on having another one after referral. It was definitely an easy and quick way to raise adoption money!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395702702296197883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169338736792936301.post-73369809626352526172010-09-10T12:14:45.492-07:002010-09-10T12:14:45.492-07:00I was going to suggest a craft sale - we did one a...I was going to suggest a craft sale - we did one a few weeks before Christmas last year and raised almost $1,000! :) Selling adoption t shirts seems to work well for some people, though we haven't tried it. <br /><br />I'll be praying for you! We have about $8,000 left to raise too, so I know just how you feel!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481930991215306755noreply@blogger.com
