Christmas Bazaar

We concluded our whirlwind series of craft fairs today at the Christmas Bazaar. Tonight, as we were cleaning up, it seemed like forever ago we started this crazy adventure. If someone had asked me if I could ever see myself hosting a table or booth at 4 different craft fairs, I would have laughed. I am not crafty. I just learned to make a few things as a "labor of love" for our boy and that is exactly what it has been.
We are so thankful to all of our friends and family who have helped in so many ways. We are getting super close to our fundraising goal! If you are interested in purchasing any of the items I have been pedaling, just let me know by leaving me a comment or by emailing me at reagancberry@gmail.com

It's a BOY!!!

(Stella seeing a picture of her little brother)





It's crazy how one phone call changes everything! On Thursday, I was at a photo shoot when my phone rang. It was our agency calling to tell us something very important. Those words we had been waiting to hear. "We have a little boy who needs a home."

As many of you know, we have been in the process of adopting two children. It became very unsure when we could be matched with two. It was going to take much longer, so we were faced with the question, do we wait for two and who knows how long that would be, or do we adopt this precious boy who is ready now. After much prayer, talks, and tears, we called our agency at 9:55pm and told her we would take him.

He is four months old, healthy, and possible the most precious boy we've ever seen. This has been such a crazy journey and it's about to get so much more fun. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support. Continue to pray that our court date will come soon so we can go meet our precious son. We already feel like a family of four!

Support Our Adoption and Get Something Lovely

I must say, our ole booth did pretty good. We worked like crazy for three days. We would hit the booth by 9am and not leave and hardly sit down until 11pm. Then we would head home and make more of whatever it was that we ran out of that day.
I couldn't have done it without the help of my mom and Greg. They took such good care or Stella and ran all my errands.
We are getting so close to our goal. We only need to raise $9,000 more. That seems like a drop in the bucket considering where we started.
There are a few items left so it you would like to purchase something, just let me know. Prices are list but doesn't include shipping if you live "off". (As they say here in Whitesburg :0)


Derby Pillows $25 each




Hairbows $5





Our Adoption T-shirt $18






Book Wreath $25 (can special order a favorite book)






Homemade Sweet and Spicy Rub $6









Handmade Scarf $15






Dry Erase Board $5






Highchair and Shopping Cart Cover $30


Our Booth









A HUGE thanks to everyone who came out and either helped with the long hours or bought something from us. We are so grateful for you!!!!
