My Overthinking

Philly Area mom, Life forever changed by adoption

{Purposeful Giveaway} Gwyn and Ava Quilted & Tawnya M Designs

Meet my new afternoon buddy — little miss keep-me-warm. If I’m sitting still–and that does actually happen–this little miss keep-me-warm is with me. She’s become as much my buddy as my afternoon hot drink. Can I confess here that I actually considered heating her up, putting her in an insulated bag, and bringing her with me to my Tuesday morning Bible Study? But, if I did that, I might need to bring my slippers too. So, she’s staying home.

My friend came to me all the way from IL made by a creative mommy named Jessica. Jessica and Brian and their girlies Ava and Gwynie are expecting. They are waiting for their two sons/two brothers to come home to them from Rwanda. And, as they live in expectation, Jessica is doing what she can to make some money. Bringing home 2 boys from Rwanda is a costly adventure. So, she’s making all sorts of goodies and selling them on Etsy as well as pursuing other ways to fundraise which you can find on her blog.

And, she’s offering one of her special items to a winner here–a fabric covered photo album like the ones she has listed here. And, what’s super fun about it is you can totally customize it–color, name, flowers, whatever your little heart desires. And, you know what I’m thinking? This would be awesome to take with you on your adoption trip across the world to show your new little one or orphanage staff your family. I bet she’d come up with a country specific design if you wanted her to.

AND

I also want you to meet Tawnya and Kevin. After trying to conceive for over 8 years, they have heard the call to build their family via adoption. And, like so many others, they’ve been overwhelmed at the cost involved but also overwhelmed at how friends and even strangers have stepped up to support them. They’ve had yard sales, t-shirt sales, raffles, and auctions in addition to a scrapbook business and custom lettering store whose sales are going to their adoption fund.

And, she’s sharing something with you all–basically whatever you want. How cool is that? You can choose anything you want from her store OR you can give her any phrase you want and she’ll customize it for you–color, font, and all. What phrase do you need–I can think of a few goodies.

  6. And I LOVE vinyl clings! I would have to have Tawnya do a bible verse for Ruby’s side of the room :) Mya has Proverbs 31:25 on her side, so Ruby might need one too :)

  11. I follow your blog publicly with GFC and my favorite item from Gwyn and Ava Quilted is the Hand Quilted Floral Table Topper

  18. I gotta go with the micro wave pack too. Honestly, we have several of these. And they keep disappearing becuase the little people in the house have figured out how to use the microwave and they sleep with them… leaving me without one for my tootsies!

  19. From Tawnya’s Etsy site, I have to embarrassingly say, I need a new car sticker. Especially since we are adding a new sweetie who isn’t on there yet!

  21. I am following your blog… came over from Throwing our arms wide open :) I think this is a fantastic way to bring awareness to some great causes… especially since the holiday’s are nearing!

  29. From Tawnyamdesigns I like the Dr. Seuss inspired vinyl wall decal. I also would love to see one that said ‘be blessed’ that I could put over my door for people to see as they leave my house.

  38. Something customized …. I always search for my keys, my money, my mobile phone… maybe there is some wall art to pin over a place for this stuff.

  43. I love the microwave packs too! They’d feel so nice on a sore neck/shoulders after a day of work!

  44. OK..the vinyl design site is my favorite yet! The prices are so reasonable!! I’ve bought custom vinyl wording before and paid way more. I totally know what I would get. My #2 daughter will need her name on her bedroom wall, to match her older sister’s name that is already there. But so many other quotes to choose from! So hard to decide. Might have to buy some more!

  45. I really love the small Hand Appliqued Tote Bag, I’d love to use that for work.

  68. I love love the shirt Defend the Fatherless in Silver Acid Wash, great message, and cute!

  91. If I could have something custom made, I would have something saying “I’m Grandma” because my kids love to pretend they are her by putting a quilted item or kitchen towel on their heads. Why they do this, I still have no idea.
