I know that you asked for pointers and I think the best one I can pass along to you is put as big of a sign as possible in your yard to attract customers. Todd and I created a 4' x 4' sign about 7' high with flags on each side and I can't tell you the number of people that stopped and purchased b/c of the sign alone. Our sale was a great success, and although it was a lot of work we had a great time with it. I wish you the best of luck and hope it helps boost your adoption fund.<BR/><BR/>Have a great night :-)Kelly & Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283917977461688191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29418238.post-31967303990544706822007-06-07T18:03:00.000-07:002007-06-07T18:03:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Don and Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861088548627178587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29418238.post-23800438517723474142007-06-06T06:38:00.000-07:002007-06-06T06:38:00.000-07:00You have such a great attitude and amazing faith. ...You have such a great attitude and amazing faith. Thank you for sharing that! I try to be positive but that is easier some days than others.

Keep it up. Although the wait can be unbearable, (it's easy for ME to say) .... God does NOT make mistakes. Apparently, the child He has in mind for our 2 families is in His plan and He will reveal that plan to us at the proper time. We are encouraged by your hearts for adoption.<BR/>And now for my take on the 'rumor' sites - I hit on them for entertainment purposes (especially that gal - no names - who thinks she's the Oprah of Chinese adoptions). I'm happy for those blog administrators who are off the streets and out of trouble - but I take NO stock in their crystal ball predictions no matter how close they are to accuracy. There's no telling what's happening over there in China..... The same goes for several of those Yahoo groups which I've dropped. <BR/>"Delight yourself (also) in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." from Psalms 37 - I tend to just trust in His ways for our journey. It gets me through a lot of the anxiety ...and keeps me out of trouble<BR/>Blessings to you,<BR/>Don & BeDon and Behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861088548627178587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29418238.post-50230532532859508852007-06-05T16:07:00.000-07:002007-06-05T16:07:00.000-07:00We're in this together and we'll make it just fine...We're in this together and we'll make it just fine.
