Sixteen Small Stones





Okay, so if you follow both of my blogs, you are going to get this twice! I could say "SORRY", but maybe it is good to get it twice...I hope maybe if people see it twice they will want to come. This is all part of my mind control, at which I excel. I even have mastered Jedi mind tricks. LOL! Just kidding.

(I started an organization called Sixteen Small Stones. We serve and reach out to the orphaned and less fortunate in Africa and China. To read more, visit my other blog, sixteensmallstones.blogspot.com, or our website at 16smallstones.com. Thanks!!!!)

Our FIRST EVENT is planned and we are hurrying like CRAZY trying to get everything ready in time! Friday, we will host our first "Paint A Stone Event". This is the COOLEST fund raising idea, EVER, I think. People donate 16 cents (for "SIXTEEN Small Stones"...get it?!) and they get to paint a rock to take home! It will give them a fun little craft AND since it is a stone it will help them remember us and MORE IMPORTANTLY to remember all of the orphaned children in the world! I am really, really excited and praying it goes well. If it does, we hope to do more of this fund raiser.

Our vision is that this simple fund raiser will be SO FUN that it will catch on other places, too, and people will either host their own Paint A Stone event, or will themselves just paint a stone. What we hope is they will send us a picture (or even a video!!!!!!) of their event or of them and their painted rock. We will then post the picture to our website! We want our site to be PACKED with pictures of people ALL OVER painting rocks as a symbol of their advocacy for the orphans of the world. It would be such a miracle and a blessing if they felt compelled to send us their 16 cents, but even if they don't, we still want them to paint their rocks and send us their pictures to show they care about orphans. SO....Here are the details for the event we are hosting! EVERYONE is invited, and it would be GREAT if you came! We would love to meet you!!!!!!
