Emerald Grande Resort 2-night stay drawing (updated)
This fundraiser has ENDED.
We've been blessed to know some very generous people who have helped us raise money to bring Paisley home. Some of these people are family and friends, but there have been others who are friends of family and friends. Then there are those who are complete strangers who have given from the pure goodness of their hearts. You talk about a humbling experience. All gifts still humble us to our core. Thank you.
When we were approached by my mom to give away a 2-night package in a 2-bedroom condo** at the beautiful Emerald Grande (EG) in Destin, FL, Daniel and I were speechless. Frankly, we are quite envious of this giveaway since we have never stayed there ourselves, but we have toured and visited the EG often since my mom works there. The units are beautiful and overlook the Destin Harbor. There are a number of restaurants and shops located in the HarborWalk Village, which next to the EG, and driving isn't necessary.
Also included in this giveaway package is a 6-hour deep-sea fishing trip for 2 aboard the Swoop, $40 EG gift card (to use at the Grande Vista Restaurant, gift shop, or at the EG bar) and a goody bag of gifts from the spa. The total package retails $1,350!
So how much?
Tickets for this extravagant package are just $20. Yes, $20 a ticket. You can email, text, or fb message us with your ticket order. We will then send you a picture of your ticket(s).
The giveaway will run until Friday, December 5th, and the winner will be drawn on Saturday, December 6th.
Retail Value of the Emerald Grande Stay Package
2-night stay in a 2-bedroom condo: $1,100
Gift Card: $40
Swoop Deep-Sea Fishing for 2: $150
Spa Retail Gifts: $60
Total: $1,350
**Terms and Conditions: Reservations must be made within 2 weeks of use. Seasonal restrictions apply. Reservations based on space and availability and are not valid over holidays, holiday weekends, or peak season. Valid until May 31, 2015.

Summer Sing Off Challenge
It's time for the Summer Sing Off Challenge, where two $100 Visa gift cards are up for grabs!* See below for the official rules. Happy singing!
1. You nominate any person or group of people (family, friends, co-workers, enemies, etc) to karaoke or lip sync a song of your choosing on video to be posted on The Todds Adopt Facebook page for a $30 donation (by check, paypal, or Anchored in Faith website).
2. In order to nominate someone to make a music video, message The Todds Adopt (or email Daniel dhtodd04@gmail.com) with the person's contact information along with the song you want them to sing. Then we will contact the nominated person about how to submit the video singing/lip syncing your song of choice. If the person agrees and the video is posted to The Todds Adopt Facebook page, then your donation of $30 is then due. However, if the person does not agree to submit a video, your donation is null.
Contest Winners: Each video is assigned a number (1 through 35) once posted. Once we receive the 35th video, then the public voting begins for the two $100 Visa gift cards (voting is based on the number of likes). The first round of voting narrows the videos down to the top 3, which will be a week of voting. Once the top 3 videos are decided, then the final round of voting begins, but time is limited to 72 hours. At this time, the winners of the Visa gift cards will be given to the video with the most likes: one gift cart to the donator/nominator and one gift card to the singer.
*Note: The contest will not take place until 35 videos are posted to The Todds Adopt Facebook page.
As you can see, strategy is key in who you nominate and what song they will sing.
Confused about how this contest works? Here is an example:
Jackson nominates Tyson to sing Baha Men "Who Let the Dogs Out?". Tyson agrees and makes a video using his smart phone singing the song. He might even throw in a couple of dances moves for votes. Once posted to The Todds Adopt Facebook page, Jackson sends his donation of $30.
Now get to nominating and making some entertaining music videos!

Let the Scentsy Party Begin!
We are back!
It's been a while since we have posted about the adoption especially about a new adoption fundraiser!
Let the Scentsy Party begin!
If you are a lady, I'm sure you have heard about Scentsy and everything they have to offer. They have some fabulous scents along with cute frangrance holders. Check out our very own Scentsy Party. Don't wait too long, because this party will end May 31! Scentsy makes great gifts especially for mothers. Don't forget Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11!
A HUGE thank you to Bonnie Yates, a super sweet childhood friend, who offered to host a party for us back when we announced our adoption. We are continually blessed with people who support our journey to bring home Paisley. She is already one blessed and loved little girl.

"A Few of Leslie's Favorite Things" Auction-The Rules and Posts
This auction is now CLOSED. Thank you to all who participated!
As we have been hinting around all month long, it is time for the "A Few of Leslie's Favorite Things" blog auction! I am super excited about this one since it encompasses literally a few of my favorite things. So enough of the chit-chat. Let's get this auction started.
The Rules
Each item has its own post in order to make bidding easy. I have started the bidding of each item at 30% of the retail price. No bids will be considered if posted on this post. Make sure you post your bid on the item's post in order to be considered. Links to each post are listed below.
Make sure when leaving your bid price that you leave an email address as well. If you win the item, this will be the way that I contact you to work out the details of receiving your item, payment, etc. Make sure that your payment is mailed promptly so the details can be worked out with each of the supporters in receiving your item. Once the item is awarded to the highest bidder, the supporter will mail the item directly to you, hence the reason for leaving your email address with your bid in order to work out the details.
The Supporters and the Items
Please show some love for each of these supporters by liking their Facebook pages, Instagram pages, and Twitter pages. If led, drop them a message telling them how generous they are to donate. These are some pretty great ladies! I am truly blown away by their generosity and can't thank them enough!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. My email address is lesliebtodd@gmail.com.
Let's get this auction started!
True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell Designs (Auction)
This auction is now CLOSED. Thank you to all who participated!
I first found out about Amy Cornwell Designs jewelry through a high school friend and fell in love with Amy's jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is handmade with love and devotion. I actually own 2 pieces of her jewelry and would love to own her True Love Ring, which is up for grabs today.
True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell Designs
As described on the Amy Cornwell Designs shop:
This wonderful ring starts with twisted sterling wire that is paired with a sweet domed heart that is stamped with you and your love's initials. A beautiful reminder of the true love in your life!
You can have initials separated by an ampersand (shown), three initials or simply leave the heart blank. The letters are lowercase typewriter font (the lowercase "L" can look like a 1). There are multiple options, so please see the pictures for descriptions! The lowercase fancy font includes letters and numbers.
Important details about this ring:
1. Eventually the darkening of the letters will most likely wear off due to the doming of the heart and washing of hands. It can be left natural for a subtle look, or redarkened for a $2.50 shipping fee. I also offer DIY instructions for redarkening (with a polishing square included) as an option for a small fee.
2. These bands are thin, so it can feel like it runs large. If you're between sizes please choose the smaller size.
Check out the Amy Cornwell website, Facebook page, Instagram, and Twitter pages for more information concerning her shop.
This hand-stamped ring retails for $27.50. The bidding begins at $8.25.
"Sweet Home Alabama" by Mandipidy (Auction)
This auction is now CLOSED. Thank you to all who participated!
If you love artwork and quotes, then you will love Mandipidy's quotable art. Mandy, as she is known outside of her creative world, creates each drawing with her own beautiful style. Mom introduced Sissy and me to her work by giving us the Sweet Home Alabama picture to hang in our home. And I love it! Since then, we have purchased another print which hangs wonderfully in our home. Don't you just love this deer print referencing one of my favorite Bible verses?
The Sweet Home Alabama print is an 8x10 picture is one of Mandy's original artwork. It comes unframed on 8.5"x11" recycled white linen paper for high quality and a long-lasting product.

'We Have this Hope-Hebrew 6:19" picture by Mandipidy (Auction)
This auction is now CLOSED. Thank you to all who participated!

Since our adoption theme is "Anchored in Faith", the "We Have this Hope-Hebrews 6:19" picture goes along great with our theme. This 8x10 picture is one of Mandy's original artwork. It comes unframed on 8.5"x11" recycled white linen paper for high quality and a long-lasting product.
