Thank you so much to Krissy Cain, who gave a percentage of Easter cupcake sales and also for the donation of the Easter dress that was auctioned. Janice Venable was the winner of the dress. Thank you too!
A generous store owner donated over a hundred pair of new or gently used shoes! We will take some with us, and sell the others and give the money to the Swaziland team.
DRESSES!

We are collecting handmade dresses for the girls at the care points, and have several dozen already. They're so wonderfully made and will be great blessings to these children. Someone had the idea to collect something for the boys, and the McAdams suggested soccer shorts or gently used kids' sports uniforms as helpful donations for them, so we will gladly take those as well.
Financial support is continuing to come in as well, and we are each about 2/3 to our goal. Many of you have donated already, and we are truly grateful and humbled. I am making and selling more painted plaques and necklaces, and Alli has done multiple photo shoots, so God continues to provide for us through these avenues also.
SILHOUETTES
Our dear friend LaShea Wood is making these lovely silhouettes. You can order silhouette prints or jewelry with silhouettes included. She is donating a portion of her sales to our trip as well. You can find her on facebook or check out her page "Cherished Silhouettes" on Facebook as well. They are just beautiful!
NEW ITEMS!
Up for auction next are these two items donated by friends. You may bid below in the comments. We will take bids until April 22, so you have 10 days! We would like to start bids at $7.50 each.
First auction item is this gift basket with nice bath and body products. This would make a great Mother's Day gift! It's from World Market and contains a sisal sponge, wooden massager, and nail brush with pumice stone, Sicilian Orange cream body wash, bar soap and bath salts in a cute basket.
The next item is this great photo scrapbook and it is new with tags. The set contains over 125 stickers, 10 pages, and comes with 12 8" x 8" coordinating papers.
Where are you guys in reference to your financial goal? I feel like you need a good, old fashioned Southern Baptist fundraising thermometer on the side. :)
