ADOPTION FUNDRAISER!

Hi All!  As some of you may know, I've been wanting to start a fundraiser for a while now.  We are doing everything possible to help save money for our little girl or guy!  We cut the cable, no more gym memberships, and also cut down on eating out.  All that alone helps us save each month.  Chris bought Dave Ramsey's book for me, but we haven't received it yet.  With us doing everything we can to save money, we finally realized that we need your help.  I haven't figured it out exactly, but I think we're going to be needing another $15,000 or so by the time our adoption is complete!  This would mostly be agency & travel fees.  I've been trying to think of something different to do to help raise money, something that I actually enjoy doing, and something that people would like.  I started painting on little 12"x12" canvas squares.  I am painting the continent of Africa with different color backgrounds to choose from.  I have a handful finished, and I am FINALLY ready to get this fundraiser started!  I will also be painting some Acacia trees for people who don't want the Africa ones.  I posted the painting ideas in a couple of my facebook groups, and I was so excited to see that people liked them and that they were interested in purchasing them!!!  I am selling them pretty cheap, so I thought I'd try selling them through my blog first instead of posting on etsy.  All the paintings are the same size, and all I need from you is your email address (if you're paying through paypal), and your mailing address!!!  You can also send me a check if you prefer.  I am selling the paintings for $18.00 plus $5.00 for shipping.  I have yet to ship anything out, and I know the canvas prices will go up, as I bought these on sale, so my next batch might be more expensive!  Also, if you want anything changed or if you want certain colors in your painting, let me know; it shouldn't be a problem.  Oh, and also, I wanted to warn you that although I tried my best to keep these paintings free of dog hair, there may be a dog hair embedded in a painting!  I think I got most of them out, though....lol  So....here we go!  I hope you like them!  You can contact me on here, or on facebook.  I'm kind of scared to put my personal email on my blog, but if you need it let me know.
