Puzzled!


How would you like to help bring our son home AND be a permanent part of his nursery decor?
We have purchased a 1000 piece puzzle of an African Oasis. Want to help us put it together? Not only can you help us put the puzzle together, but you can help bring our son home at the same time!
Want to know how? It's easy! When you make a donation to one of our fundraisers, we will add a piece to the puzzle. A piece with your name on it. That's right-we will write the name of each person who helps bring our little one home on the back of each puzzle piece. When the puzzle is complete, we will hang it in the nursery. It will be a tangible reminder of all those who love him and helped bring him to his forever family!
As of right now, our only fundraiser is our Just Love Coffee store. Click on the link at the top left of our blog to order. For every bag of coffee you order, you will "sponsor" a puzzle piece. We have ordered some ourselves, and it amazing! Our favorites are African Skies and the Rwandan blend.
We are also diligently working on our fundraiser cookbook. We have some wonderful recipes and I am so excited to get it completed. Once they are ready, each book purchased will also "sponsor" a puzzle piece. We are hoping to keep the price under $15. If you want to "pre-order," shoot me an email or comment on this post.
Just to let you know, this idea is not original to us. We did "borrow" it. We wish we were this creative, but thankfully there are other adopting families that are!
As our puzzle grows, we will be sure to take pictures and post them so that you can see the progress. We can't wait to see how many different people and families God will use to be a part of our son's journey home!

  2. My sister did something like this on her first missions trip to Africa (she was there for a month). Everyone (church, friends/family) had the same bracelet (only in different colors) that we all wore while she was gone, as a constant reminder to pray for her. When she got back, everyone signed theirs, and gave them to her. It was incredible!

    We have been talking about doing the same thing with the puzzle. It'd go perfect with our little man's room and what a wonderful reminder!
