WOW!! I feel like that is all I can say! We have had a lovely number of sales come in for this season and its wonderfully overwhelming! It has been such a joy to see the support from family and friends as well as complete strangers! Brad and I have this wonderful lady at our bank we love to chat with, and she has expressed interest in our fundraising, and our lives in general, I can honestly say she makes our banking experience incredible! Although that may seem random to mention it is something I have been thinking about today, how much she impacts our lives, and perhaps how much we get to impact hers in the warmest way.
We also want to take the time to mention to you guys where we mostly get our yarn from, its a local shop here in Saskatoon called Prairie Lily Knitting. This has been a special part of our fundraising because the lady who owns it ( Charlene) Has given us the best customer service we could ask for, it is so clear she loves her job so we asked her a few details! In our talk with Charlene we learned that she bought this shop in 2008 ( 6 years ago) and has been in love with her work since, she personally loves to knit which is very clear when you talk with her! She says "I once told the previous owner that it was my dream to own a shop like this and I planned on buying it when she was ready to retire.... so right then and there the owner told me she was ready to retire!" So just like that Charlene went home and started planning how to tackles this new adventure! She is a wonderful part of our experience fundraising and although we need her, she thanked us, and reminded us she needs us too. What a more personal way to shop than at a big name store :)
We have so much thankfulness in our hearts and there quite a few of our supporters we will get to visit this Christmas season as well as drop off orders, what a wonderful reason to visit and spend time with you all!
Again we cannot yet offer you guys more specific details on the adoption for it is still quite far away but we can give you this perspective :

In almost 3 months we will have raised over 600 dollars ( YAY)
If every year we fund-raised $5000 profit it would take us a mere 3 years to be very close to this reality,
If every year we fund-raised $3000 profit, it would take again only 5 years!!
HOW EXCITING?!
We remind you again we are putting what we can towards the savings ourselves and we love and appreciate your support!
