Let the fundraising begin!

We've been brainstorming ideas for fundraising. Some ideas are great, others....well, not so much. We plan on doing a number of things, but the most fun (to date) has been the launching of our Etsy site! For those of you who don't know, Etsy is a site that allows people to sell handcrafted items. "What kind of handcrafted goods do the boring ol' daddy's daisies people make?" do you say? Excellent question:

Ethiopia Adoption Announcement



Africa Note Card



See our Etsy shop here: Daddy's Daisies on Etsy!

We have two cards right now with about 20 more (not all Africa or Ethiopia related...) in the basement, er..."design studio". (See: extra bedroom.) We will be adding more as time goes on, but since we're just hanging out, waiting for our homestudy, we wanted to do something to get our minds off things AND help spread the word about Ethiopia and Africa in general.

So, if you'd be so kind; spread the word. Email, blog, etc. and share these with people who might be interested. Also, cards can be customized with other countries too, for those of you adopting from Korea, China, etc.

Thanks so much!

p.s. If someone can tell me how to post two pictures side by side, we'll be done with all this "single file picture" riff-raff that makes me seasick to scroll past...
