Part Reveal and What I've Been Up To

I hinted at some big news for my oldest daughter a few posts back.  I am still not releasing major details in such a public place, but she is going on a big trip this summer.  It is out of the country and she has the opportunity to go on an amazing faith-filled pilgrimage.  This is a huge blessing for her, and I am beyond excited for her.  

Part of her job is to fund raise for some of her expenses, mainly her food costs, and anything she raises beyond that will go to help another young person join on this pilgrimage.  She has been baking up a storm this past week, and she is selling home made bread after Mass.  She is going to be making some cookies as well, to sell at a later date.  We are hoping her baked goods will sell well.  She makes these amazing better-than-otis-spunkmeyer chocolate chip cookies, big ones, that she will probably sell.  (FYI, these can be shipped if you are interested, lol!)  She really is a great baker.

To help her along, I decided to try my hand at some embroidery.  I have done dish towels before and they've come out well, so I decided to embroider some Catholic Saint dolls.  I saw a design I liked for the first one online, and I ended up drawing it out myself.  After that first one, I drew out all the rest by looking at various pictures of the Saint.  I think they came out really cute.  We are selling them for $20 each.  Every cent goes to help Mini Me on her trip.  If you are interested, please let me know.  Below are pictures of the ones I have already made up.  I have a drawing already made for Saint Kateri, and I have plans for other Saints as well.  If you are interested and you don't see a Saint you like, let me know!  I am confident I can work one up.  If you know someone who may be interested, please share this with them.  Our goal is to get her food cost raised by Easter.  (I think these would make adorable Easter basket fillers!)  Without being on Facebook right now, my audience is rather limited.  I am counting on my friends and family to help spread the word along for this amazing experience for Mini Me, and other youth as well!  Please share as much as you can.  Thank you!
