Redesign

Good morning friends! It has come to my attention that it might be a grand idea to have a shirt designed for both men and women. Also, when I called the company to have the web address put on the back of the tee they accidentally goofed it up, so I just decided it would be easiest for a redisgn! And while we are talking about he shirt let me explain it a bit to you as there was some confusion with how the tshirt campaign worked.

1. I design a shirt.

2. They tell me how much it costs. 

3. I decide a price, so BB can receive some money as part of the fundraising aspect:-)

4. Set a goal. Say I want to sell like 10 tshirts.

5. I have to sell my goal or the tshirts won't get made. This way BB is not out any money- which is awesome since we have 0. And the company is not out any money.

6.they make and send the shirts and send us a check equaling more great things for foster kiddos!

Have a great day!

A SHIRT

Folks we are launching a shirt...
Finally a way to let others know. know that there are people out there. As everyone knows the wearable voice is a huge one. You see it all over the place, and now Beautiful Baggage finally has a shirt. This is a place that was shown to us a way to create a shirt, At NO cost, and if the orders come, they come. If not, then not. We have NO money to put out for shirts and then hope that they sell. That is not an option, however this website is. We PRAY we make our goal. That would be an AMAZING blessing!!

Order now only TEN days!

Calling all people....

I sat on that title for about five minutes. Yep I tried for five minutes to think of something super clever, and it didn't happen but you know what "calling all people" does really capture what I am doing. I am putting out an all call.

BB has several things that we need. Right now folks we are a one fam-show. Those folks you see in the pic, they are it.

 

We need bodies. People willing to pick up bags, run baggage drives, go get toothbrushes from dentist offices, help make connections with corporations!

 

Would even love input on t-shirt making and how to get a graphic and the best kind of graphic to put on. I know there are many talents out there, it is just a matter of waiting for God's time to bring those people into our life.

Good morning to you!

So a week ago I had a meeting with DSHS, just letting them know about our project and that we are here. Collecting bags and ready to serve. The response was OVERWHELMINGLY positive. They gave me GREAT feedback and seemed eager to get bags into kids hands.

Here are the next steps I think that we should work towards:
1. Find a corporate sponsor to put gift cards into the bags. It would be wonderful for each child to receive a new outfit of their choice.
2. Call a dentist and ask for toothbrushes. We are out!!
3. Start making the rounds at local churches and present BB, call other churches into action!!

Who is with us!!!!????!!!

thank you for the suitcase...

I often wonder if the people who leave suitcases, bibles, and other goodies in the church office ever know about this little space. This little outlet of mine. This corner of my heart I section off just for this. Just for the love of the fatherless, the motherless. Whether it be short-term or long. This small little thing, that maybe nobody would even think of. They do, a bag. And so for this... friends, family, strangers, thank-you. Thank-you to the person who left a brown leather suitcase in CCTC's office this week, I got it! And thank-you to the many who have left them in the past.

 I have been working to make connections around town. This is not an easy task.

This week several bags will be going to the homeless teen shelter where I know that several foster teens are currently and more will frequent. I would like them to have access to a bag. Not even the shelter has a bag to offer them.

In October I will be meeting with our state officials to work out a pick up procedure with them.

And finally Guarantee Carpet Cleaning has allowed warehouse space for storage and is hanging shelving freeing up the room we intend for foster care!

Our community is so amazing and I look forward to seeing what is coming this next year (as in school year, yes I think in school years haha!)

Peace Out Peeps! Feel Free to email at Beautiful_baggage@yahoo.com contact by FB, or comment here with any questions regarding our project and how to get involved!

 

Join the movement, help the kids right in front of you.

We might not all be called to be foster parents, but we are all called to help!!
