“On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six geese a laying.”
Sadly I’ve never had the privilege of meeting Emily but when I asked my cousin if she had any friends that would want to be a part of this project she said her roommate might be interested. I was so thankful when Emily agreed to be six geese a laying! Not only is she delightful to work with but she made a perfectly beautiful model. I think she’s a natural! I love how easy going she is and willing to try something difficult in order to help these children. Emily, thank you so much for partnering with me to do this project! I’m incredibly honored to have you on the blog. I look forward to meeting you someday hopefully soon!
Kiersta, you completely made my day when I heard that you were willing to take these pictures and that you wanted to shoot all 12 days! I’m very impressed with your work and think you are a wonderful photographer. Thank you for offering your time and talent to make the lives of these darling orphans better. It’s been a gift working with you!
The inspiration for today was from the feathers and colors of a Canada goose. I think she did a wonderful job pulling off this look!
Will you please donate $5 dollars today? This is why we are joining together to do this project. Because each and every one of us want to see these orphans taken care of and provided for. We get to be a part of these children’s lives! Let’s show them that we value them. Let’s make a choice to be world changers one act at a time.

Favorite Christmas movie: It’s a Wonderful Life
Why you wanted to be a part of the project: I am constantly reminded how blessed my life has been. My parents taught me the importance of giving back simply through their own actions. When I heard about the 12 Days of Christmas Project and the Warm Blankets organization, I knew that I wanted to support the cause this year. It is difficult to imagine the tragedies orphans and widows cared for by Warm Blankets have experienced, and the organizations mission is remarkable in changing those lives. I am so impressed by Elaini’s efforts and hope that my slight involvement will help continue spreading awareness and drawing support.

This is my favorite outfit so far. That black dress is so classy and simple, it really helps the feathers complete a beautifully natural look. Gorgeous girl, I love her eyes!
