Thanks to everyone who's ordered from my Flowers for Peanut fundraiser. My goal was to sell 120 items and I'm pretty darn close. I've sold 86 items so far and I know that I have at least a few more orders coming in.

I'm sending in for the bulk shipment this Wednesday. So if you were planning on ordering anything and haven't yet, please do so soon.

Fundraising for adoption is a tricky thing. I've felt as if I'm putting people out a bit. And my son is not a charity. So there's an icky factor associated with adoption fundraising. But, as many of you know, adoption costs are astronomical. Hopefully the end of my adoption journey is coming soon. (I hope, I hope, I hope.) So looking at the remaining costs I have to come up with is a bit daunting. Thanks to all of you that ordered I am that much closer to my goal and, subsequently, that much closer to my son.

Some of the other members of the "Russian posse" are also holding fundraisers. Please help out if you can. Jen is selling all sorts of great products that everyone can use, and Lisa is selling everything from cookbooks to quilts.

Thanks for all of your help!
