Another Fundraiser

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we were working on some t-shirt sale options. Well, one is now ready. You can find the advertisement on the right hand side of the blog. A portion of each sale will go to our Bring Megan's Sister Home fund.

I'm also working on getting t-shirt sales set up though Show Hope, Steven Curtis Chapman's non-profit. Its not quite ready yet, but hopefully within the next week or so it will be. This one will be a bit different in that we will have take orders then place an order when we have enough. More on that yet to come.

We appreciate all your help to bring Yanglan home!

Klippies by Kris

In order to keep this blog about us and not about hair clips, I've started a new blog just for hair clips. I may occasionally post new items over here, but all hair clip info will be on the new blog: Klippies by Kris. Please check it out! I've added several new items!

Introducing Megan's Sister

We've officially received our approval to adopt her...so here she is!

We will add an American name to hers,
but we don't know what that will be yet.
Her Chinese name is YangLan

These pictures were taken in 2008, so I'm interested in seeing how much she's changed in the last two years!

More Large Flower clips

Here are some more beautiful large (4 inch) flower clips.
Each 4 inch flower is securely attached to an alligator clip. Each clip is covered with a coordinating ribbon and partially lined. All ribbon has been heat treated to prevent fraying.
The clips stay in Megan's very silky hair quite well, actually. She always gets compliments every time she wears one!

To order, simply click on "Chip In" on the right hand side of the website. In the Comments section, identify quantity and color(s)

Each clip is $5
Price includes shipping

Lavendar

Light Pink

To order, simply click on "Chip In" on the right hand side of the website. In the Comments section, identify quantity and color(s).

There is a limited selection of these flowers available.

Hair Clips--Large Flowers

The other orange sold out...so here's the new one.
It does a slight yellow around on the tips of the pedals, and it's cute, too.

Yellow--Large

Hot Pink--Large

Deep Red--Large

I can use a crystal in the middle of all (except the orange), if preferred

Hair Clips-- Matching Pairs

One problem I've recently encountered is finding matching clips to use in Megan's hair to hold the wisps back with pigtails. Or do you simply want to clip the long bangs out of their face? These matching ribbon alligator clips are the solution! They are partially lined and all ribbon has been heat treated to prevent fraying.

To order, simply click on "Chip In". In the Comments section, identify the number of pairs and your ribbon selection.

Each pair: $5
(includes shipping)

And here's the model!

These are your ribbon options:

Red, Hot pink/black dots; hot pink; light pink; pink/purple dots; XOXO

Fundraising

One of the things that we will be doing to bring Megan's Sister home that we didn't (purposely) do to bring Megan home is fundraising. There are several things we have lined up to do in the upcoming weeks (there are higher priorities right now), but one of them is the "chip in" on the right hand side of the page. Chip in allows you to donate cash to help bring Megan's Sister home using a credit or debit card or a paypal account. Simply click on the 'Chip in' link and you will be directed to a secure website to donate. Don't feel pressured to do so, but I've had some people ask when/how they can donate, so I thought I'd just set this up.

What kind of upcoming fundraisers are we talking about? I've made several very cute, high quality hair clips for Megan (and gotten loads of compliments on them, as well!). I've shared them with some of my friends and they STAY IN fine hair. So, watch for them soon. I have most everything ready, I just need the time to pull it all together and create the blog post with the pics.

Another fundraiser we are working on is t-shirt sales. There's a website that handles everything for us and we get a portion of the t-shirt sales. Again, still working on that...hopefully it will be up within a month.

We've got a couple of other ideas...but need to work them out quite a bit more. And if you have any ideas, PLEASE let us know!!!
