Project Puzzle

We need to kick up the fundraising and this idea is so dang cute I couldn't pass it up. I didn't invent it but I put my own spin on it.

So here's the idea...

We don't have our referral (adoption lingo for who is this little one who will be taking up space in Jack's room and causing chaos hopefully very soon). But when we get his little mug shot we'll upload it on a 768 piece puzzle. Why 768 pieces? Um, because it was either that or 1,000 pieces and I thought writing names on teeny tiny pieces would look ridiculously small - too small and we'd need a microscope to see all your beautiful names.

Anyway, once we get this gorgeous little guy's photo (which BTW, you won't see until we have him home and the adoption is final. I know boohoo, but it has to be that way) I'll upload his photo and blur out his face but I'll show you the progress of writing your names on the back of the pieces! It is so cool, I promise you. I know it sounds super dorky but just go with me on this one!

You...my friends and fam, if you will lovingly support our adoption efforts by purchasing pieces of the puzzle for either $10 a piece or whatever hefty donation you see fit, we'll write your names on the back each piece of puzzle you purchase.

Try to imagine how smart this little one is going to be after Todd gets a hold of him. Remember Todd teaches gifted ed....so you know he'll be reading early and he'll be able to read just how many puzzle pieces you bought to bring him home. No pressure, just saying.

As all our friends, family and who knows, perhaps people we may not even know! purchase puzzle pieces, we'll start

constructing the puzzle. Once we have all 768 pieces put together, we'll glue the whole thing together and have an heirloom for his room with his beautiful face on the front and a testament on the back to all the many names of people who prayed about him and worked to bring him home.

I hope you can imagine the puzzle. I'll post pictures as it starts to come together.

This is an easy fundraiser. It is soooooo cute. SO easy. And, man alive, the math couldn't be easier.

768 pieces x $10 = $7680

And remember, you are not obligated to ONLY donated $10 per piece, please! By all means, feel free to bump that up to whatever you feel called to. Perhaps this is the only fundraiser we'll have to do!

Since I'm not that smart with blogging and Pay Pal yet and I haven't gotten all tricky with the buttons...you can just click on the Donate button on the right hand margin....yep, you see it up there. Give me another couple a days, and I'll figure something fancy fer ya to look at!  Thanks, for now though, you're the best!
