{Day 178 (on the 2nd day of Christmas)}

“On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves.”

This readers is my friend Jenni.  I feel so blessed to know this gorgeous, genuinely sweet lady.  For two turtle doves we wanted to go with soft, muted colors like a dove and inspired by the feathers of the bird we put downy feathers around the neckline as well as feathers in her hair.  Jenni is wonderful and I am so happy to have her share with you. 🙂

Hey everybody!  My name is Jenni and I currently live in Beaverton, OR.  I’m 22 years old and had the privilege of meeting Miss Elaini about a month ago.  The first time I met Elaini she told me about all the money she had raised this year for orphans in India.  I knew immediately that we had similar hearts and were meant to be great friends.  Back when I was 16 I made a promise to God that I would spend my life pouring out my heart to those in need, whatever that may look like.  So Elaini’s desire to raise $12,000 by the end of the year was something I felt like I NEEDED to help with. These children deserve our thoughts, time, prayers and financial aid.  Today as Christmas fast approaches please consider partnering with me in the effort to give these children basic necessities like a bed to sleep on and food to eat.  So far I have raised $200 dollars, and yes its true, THAT’S NOT $1,000!!! In order to get there I NEED YOUR HELP!!!  God Bless you all and Merry Christmas.

Thank you Jenni for helping me help the orphans.  Love you girl.

UPDATE!!! $41,714.90  😀  Yay! Can you help Jenni push the total past 42K today?

    Beautiful! How do we donate with a specific dress in mind? Or do we just use the donate button on the right the same way? Lovely outfits ladies!

      Great question Sarah. Just use the Give Here button but then leave a comment in the box provided to leave a note saying that you want it to go towards whatever day you are choosing and then mention that I can see the comment. Thank you! xx
