Friends! You raised $400 for Riley’s adoption!

Guess what?! The invoice we just received for having a second lawyer added to Riley’s case (due to legal circumstances) was $375.00! You are such a blessing. Thank you!

I’ve told you about my friend, Marissa. She is amazing. Each and every month, she interviews and raises money for a different adoption. She has a huge heart and just wants to help. Would you stop by and follow her on Instagram or on her blog? She is Raising up One and an absolute dear!

And then there were my friends that donated… Lesley Zellers (just a really fun and amazingly talented designer) , Life Made Lovely (my monthly coffee date and IRL friend) , Ashley Ann (a dear friend who changed my heart towards adoption and who inspires me daily), Farmgirl Paints (one of the first blogs I ever followed and a dear creative soul), Life Created (a fellow Aggie and stunning photographer!) , Brown Eyed Fox (a dear IRL friend, talented artist, and the one who gets how hard moving is), Amanda Rydell (the creative genius behind Be Crafty and my Oklahoma roomie!), and Jane Says (the first etsy shop I ever purchased from and a sweetheart who shares my love of sweet tea).

And then, Priscilla, my mother-in-law. She sells quilting supplies, knits, and creates beauty. After all, her genes had a part in my beautiful daughter Julia. She donated two of her scarves to our effort.

And then there is you! You blessed my socks off. Thank you!

I can’t believe that we officially become a family of five on September 4th. Riley has grown my heart and shown me what true love really is.

Love you all!

Kate
