*Faith.Hope.Love.*

My friend Kandice couldn't have said it better:

"I've carried a baby with in my body. Slept with a baby on my chest. Kissed boo boos and mended broken hearts. I've been puked on, peed on, an spent sleepless nights up in the chair. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My body may not be magazine perfect but when I look in the mirror I see a mommy an there's no greater honor or blessing :)"

Being a mother is truly one of the best gifts that could ever be given by God! One mother that has been an inspiration to me is my cousin, Aundrea. She is a full time mother of FIVE kids, Desirea and Kyran (twins), Alyna, Cristian, and Kaeden. She is also a wife, teacher-by homeschooling her children, and student! I have no idea how she stays on top of everything but she does and she does it with the biggest smile and joy in her heart.

Aundrea and her Husband have decided that their family is not yet done. They are currently in the process of filling out adoption papers. Their hearts desire is to adopt an Ethiopian girl between the age of 0-24 months.

With this process I am honored to say that Aundrea has asked me to be apart of it all. She has asked me for my time and artistic gift and donate crafty items for their fundraiser. I am extremely excited to be apart of this and also do what I truly love to do!

I have actually lost all sense of time and have eagerly started on my projects. If sleep was not at all necessary I would continue to stay up and finish them! I just wanted to share a little of my project and hope it'll not only inspire the heart but possible bidding interests as well to help bring a sweet future Whitmire baby girl home!
