Well......we didn't make it to California. Do you ever have times when everything in the universe is working against you??? For months I have been trying to save for this trip.....and everything that could come and soak up every last little cent did.....I mean stupid things like...both pairs of my pants riped last week....(I only have 2 pairs of pants), brakes going out, teeth problems..........huuuuuuu anyways.....I didn't have the money to fly..so I reserved a rental car....then when we didn't have the money for that...we borrowed a car......it broke down . So I made it home with ALOT of prayer, and thank goodness it is something Jim can fix.....but there goes what money I did have for gas.......aaaaaahhhhhh. Pray for me I am so frustrated I could spit.......

So Miss. Lizzy ....I am SOOOOOOO Sorry!! I would give anything to be there with you and celebrate this AWESOME occasion ! You know I love you but I am going to tell you anyways ! I love you and I am so proud of you...life has not been easy but you keep going.......You are a wonderful girl......!

We are some difficulties getting the Mission Fish account set up...so there will be no auctions with the ribbon right now....I am however giving half of everything made on ebay to the mission team ! I will let you know when we get the "Mission Fish" issues resolved !

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE......

PERU !!!

WE (Tawni & I ) are going to Peru!

That's right PERU ! A team from our church is meeting up with teams from all over the U.S. to combine our time , talents and resources !

Our trip is planned from July 14-24rd ! THAT IS COMING UP QUICK! I know this is short notice but we need your help getting there!
We will be doing different fund raisers in the next 2 months but there is one we are starting now and we need your help!

We will be selling things through my EBay store( Tatiana's Trinkets) , with the help of a company named MISSION FISH. Mission Fish takes the money from the sales and gives it directly to the non profit of your choice...in this case that would be Christian Worship Center....... this is where you come in...I need items to sell ...and I need people to SHOP...I know some of you are VERY good at that.....come on you know who you are !!! All you need to do is follow the link to my store and BUY BUY BUY !!! If you have stuff sitting around that you would consider donating....I can come and get them...or you can drop them off but the sooner we get things the better (as they will have more time to sell) So let me know if you have anything that you can donate (tax deductible) I will include a list at the end of this post... OH...ALL THE ITEMS THAT ARE FOR THE MISSION TRIP WILL HAVE A LITTLE RIBBON SYMBOL BY THEM

All the other items go to support my chocolate habit, and to help us open our home to foster care children ( I desperately need to increase my slave labor force!)

Tawni and I need Approx. $1,500 a piece ($3,000 total) That is for everything !! Though I am looking for a SMALL digital camera/video camera that I can take !!! On our Mexico trip 2 years ago I took disposable camera's and the pictures were AWFUL !!!

MOST of all we need your prayers...we want God to be with us every step of the way ! We also need His grace to learn as much Spanish as possible before we go, and we both have a goal of losing some extra baggage (if you get my drift) before we leave...SO PRAY PRAY PRAY !!!


List of easily sell able items:
Computer software, Baby clothes, Toys, Video games, WILLEMS ARTWORK (HINT HINT HINT KRISTINA KLUMPER) , audio books, games, HOMESCHOOLING STUFF, TOOLS, old grill cheese sandwiches with a picture of the virgin Mary on them....(NO REALLY IT HAPPENED!)
You name it!! It is worth a try...all the items that don't sell before July 1st will be put in a garage sale....if it still doesn't sell we will re-list it on EBay and use it for future mission trips !!!

If you just want to donate hard cold cash...we take that too!! Contact me and I will let you know where to send it !!!

THANKS !!!!!
