Meet the Carters

I recently had the honor of designing some t-shirts for the lovely Carter family. The Carters are in the process of adopting a little boy from Ghana and are selling the t-shirts in an effort to raise funds for the adoption fees.  You can read more about their adoption journey here.

 I have a soft spot in my heart for adoption and have really enjoyed getting to know the Carters and following along on their journey.

How adorable is this little guy? He is the big brother to be and recently got together with his buddies to show off their Ghana tees with this fun photo shoot. The tees have been a hit and I am sending off a second shipment to the Carters tomorrow. They will likely go fast so if you'd like to support this sweet family and score a stylin' tee for your little one, click here.

Be sure to follow the Carter's blog for updates on their journey as well as a massive dose of inspiration and creativity (did I mention that Sarah Carter is an amazing artist?).

Help the Blakelys Adopt

I have recently started advertising on Confessions of a Paper Freak. Emmy, the brains behind Confessions, and her husband have just begun the adoption process. Although the majority of their costs are covered, they still have about $3000 to raise. You can read all about their journey here.

To raise the rest of their funds, Emmy has coordinated a HUGE raffle. When she contacted me to see if I'd be willing to donate to the raffle, I absolutely couldn't refuse. I have a huge soft spot in my heart for adoption and I am so happy to help.

Emmy has put together three raffle baskets each with a value from $800 to $1500 dollars. There is one for kids, one for locals only (she's in Southern California), and one for the grown ups. Seriously, the baskets are incredible and are filled with amazing items from Etsy sellers, local businesses, and other amazing indie artists.

Two of my items can be found in the kids basket among a ton of other super cool things.

If you are interested in checking out the raffle or reading about Emmy's journey, be sure to visit Confessions of a Paper Freak. The raffle closes this Friday at noon (PST). Good luck!
