Giveaway!!!

I'm so excited to be doing my first giveaway!  Our sponsor is Jennifer from Lil Blu Birds -- please visit her etsy shop and her blog.  Jennifer makes the most adorable applique t-shirts that have been selling like hotcakes among the Ethiopian adoption community.

Jennifer will be using the proceeds from her etsy shop in an upcoming humanitarian aid trip to Ethiopia.  The people of Ethiopia are near and dear to Jennifer's heart and mine.  Last year we both adopted our sons from this beautiful country (her son Abe is the model in these photographs).  Jennifer will be using the funds raised from her sales to purchase food for orphanages and the poor.  She will also be purchasing medical supplies and clothing to give to the poor and homeless.

One lucky reader of this blog will win an applique t-shirt of their choice.  The winner can select either a child or adult size t-shirt, long or short sleeve, and an applique of their choice from among her many darling selections (basically a custom-made t-shirt -- cool, huh?).

In addition, Jennifer is offering free shipping on purchases at her etsy shop through December 5th with guaranteed delivery by Christmas!  So why not do some of your Christmas shopping now and support a great cause?  It's a win-win!  To take advantage of the free shipping offer, please put "the lovely nest" in the checkout comment box on etsy and she will refund shipping charges.
