The GIGANTIC Giveaway...

My DH (darling husband, for all of the new visitors) and I have been TTC for almost three years now. We have tried many fertility procedures and have spent countless dollars to become the parents that we know God wants us to be. Because our insurance does not cover all the infertility procedures and medications, we found ourselves in a situation where we needed to come up with another $10,000 to try again. One of my bloggy friends gave me the idea to start hosting Chip-In/Giveaways on my blog to help raise funds for IVF. Since November 2008, we have been blessed with MANY generous contributions and our IVF fund has grown to almost $3000!

Isn't that just AMAZING???

I must say that I have never experienced so much kindness in my entire life and I can't wait to share this story with our children one day...how so many caring, generous, and God-loving strangers helped us bring a baby into this world.

Without further ado, here is what the GIGANTIC giveaway is all about this time...

FOUR FABULOUS PACKAGES WITH TONS OF GOODIES!!!

Hold on to your hats...this is going to be good :)

Package A: All About ME!

1. A 10 X 10 Switchboard donated by Shop Lady Bird

You can purchase word-art vinyls and place them on your switchboard for the holidays or any occasion. The winner will be able to choose the color of the base for their switchboard.
