I'm a married mother of "3 1/2" ;) and the loves of my life are my faith and my family. I've grown in my faith over the last two years since my daughter's adoption, she is the reason why I started this blog in the first place, and I'm so looking forward to watching God move in my heart, and the hearts of others who follow along on our journey towards bringing home one of "the least of these". Special needs adoption is my mission field, whether I'm adopting a child myself, or helping other families get funded, or shouting for waiting children who need families to find them, and I hope you'll come along for the ride and watch what God can accomplish when we say yes to His command to care for the orphan, and go out into the world to be His hands and feet.

Ok, so for the giveaway part!!

We have 250 tickets to sell for our Spaghetti dinner, and we need YOUR help to sell them!

The tickets are only $5 so it shouldn't be too hard, especially since that $5 gets you spaghetti, bread, salad, dessert and a drink!!!

We will have TWO separate giveaways.

Giveaway #1:

Everytime you repost this blog post to facebook, twitter, etc...then come back here and comment on THIS blog post about your repost...you'll be entered one time into giveaway #1. If you write a blog post of your own about our dinner/auction, and link back to this blog post, you'll be entered FIVE times into giveaway #1. That's it. No donating, just reposting! The winner will have their choice of 2 prizes, each with a value over $25

Giveaway #2:

The person who solicits the most ticket sales will receive a $25 Amazon gift card. Ticket buyers can pay through paypal, and in the notes section have them write YOUR NAME so you get credit for their purchase. You can enter YOUR OWN name one time, no ticket purchase necessary but the more ticket sales with your name attached to them, the better off you'll be! :)

YOU AND ALL TICKET BUYERS DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN THE JACKSON TENNESSEE AREA TO BUY TICKETS TO THIS DINNER FUNDRAISER!!!

We are partnering with local groups to DONATE meals purchased by out of state/city/etc buyers. The number of "unclaimed" dinners (i.e. you bought a ticket but didn't come to eat) will be donated to people who are either sick and can't cook for themselves, or can't afford a hot meal. How awesome is it that just FIVE DOLLARS can work to not only bring home a beautiful little girl, but also feed someone who otherwise would have gone without a hot dinner that night. :)

So there it is guys!!! Please repost and sell those tickets!

Ticket sale money can be sent to: rescueaprincess@gmail.com on paypal

Thank you!!!
