HopeChest and Adoption Fathers are joining together for Mother’s Day to bring hope to orphans!!  My crazy readers, you rocked out our last HopeChest fundraiser and I want to ask you to take the time to learn more about this special project that Tom Davis and team are supporting.  I just bought my necklace!!  It’s created exclusively from my friend JunkPosse, so you know the quality is beautiful and one of a kind.  Here is a great close up of the special Mother’s Day necklace.  It’s just how we like it girls…

big & chunky!   Let’s go a little crazy and end the last week of the fundraiser with a bang… don’t miss out.

LOVES GOES AROUND {GIVEAWAY}

Crazy friends… this is a 2 day giveaway.   I will randomly pick a winner on Friday night.  All you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me why you want this stunning necklace. You can entry both days!  Let’s break records!

“This necklace represents the “Breaking the Chain” of Orphanhood campaign this Mother’s Day. All the Profits from this piece will support Hopechest’s “Young Mothers Program.”

When orphans are released from the orphanage in their early teen years, they enter a critically vulnerable time. In the case of the women supported by this campaign, they find themselves pregnant and alone. Still children themselves, they have nowhere to go. That is where HopeChest comes into the picture, providing direct assistance, training, community building, and intensive counseling and casework. 100% of the moms currently in the program are raising healthy young children and breaking the cycle of orphans producing more orphans.

Children’s Hopechest- Responding to God’s desire to create a world where every orphan knows Him, experiences the blessing of a family, and acquires the skills necessary for independent life.”

Join us this Mothers Day and together we can Break The Chain of sex trafficking and orphanhood. Buy a limited edition Mothers Day necklace and 100% of the proceeds will go towards supporting these amazing programs.  HopeChest Fundraiser ends on Friday!

This is my biggest giveaway yet on My Crazy Adoption!  On Valentine’s Day, I’m giving away 1 stunning “What’s in My Heart” necklace and 2 charms. (I know… I’m sooo excited too!) This is a value of $150 and includes the heart pendant, chain and 2 charms.  These beautiful pendants allow you to insert a variety of charms to make a fully customized necklace.

The necklace and heart are both made of genuine Sterling Silver and the heart is approximately 1″ by 1″ and has a clear backing.  Charms vary in size but are generally around 1/4″ (approx. 6-8 charms will fit in the heart).  Hearts and chains are finished with rhodium to prevent tarnishing.  It was even featured in People Magazine.

I love Giveaways!!  My heart basically dances a jig when I receive donations to giveaway to you!  I especially love when my crazy bloggy friends share their homemade treasures with me.  Since I do not have a crafty thumb- I am thrilled when I can share with you, amazing talents and gifts that pour out of bloggy land. My Crazy Giveaways are typically $50 in value or more… it makes giving away giveaways even more crazier for me!  If you are ever interested in donating a product for me to Giveaway, I recommend only family-friendly products that I would actually buy/use. Please email me and we can see if your item is a good fit for my blog. At this time, I will write the post review with photos provided and a short description.  Please feel free to advertise your website, company, or blog on my Inspired Links.

Zoie and I both have January birthdays, so we wanted to celebrate along with you!  This month, we will feature several giveaways that we love.  Stay tuned…
