"Just Love Coffee" Spring Promotion

"Just Love Coffee" is having another INCENTIVE!!!  And YOU can help us again!!!

If we earn $75 or more in proceeds from now until June 5th, we will receive 4 bags of 13oz coffee of our choice, a Travel Mug, and a bumper sticker.  And if we earn $150 or more, we will receive the above listed items AND an Aeropress brewer and choice of T-shirt!!!  And we will GIVE IT ALL AWAY!!!

To earn $75 in proceeds we need to sell 15 bags of coffee in the next four weeks.  To earn $150 in proceeds we would have to sell 30 bags of coffee.

"Just Love Coffee" Update

Pam ~ When I posted last Wednesday about the March Madness Incentive that was taking place at "Just Love Coffee", I thought it would be fun to see if we could sell the 15 bags of coffee that we needed throughout the month of March.  I thought, "We have a whole month to sell 15 bags.  We've never sold 15 bags in one month before, but hey, maybe a few extra people will step up to help us."

Guess what????????

We had ELEVEN people step up in just TWO days and we sold NINETEEN bags of coffee!!!!!!!!  Who would have "thunk" it??????

We want to give a BIG Thank You to everyone who ordered coffee last week from our "Just Love Coffee" fundraising site.  Please come back and leave us a comment when your coffee has arrived and let us know how you like it :-).

We will be giving away the free coffee that we have won!!!!  For every bag that you ordered (or any more orders that might come in during the month of March ~ i.e. YOU CAN STILL ENTER BY ORDERING MORE COFFEE!!!!) you will get 1 entry into our drawing.  We are planning to draw names on April 1st.

(BTW.  We have profited $95 this month from your coffee orders.  Just one more bag of coffee sold would put us at an even $100. hint. hint. hint.)

"Just Love Coffee" March Madness Incentive

"Just Love Coffee" is having a March Madness Incentive!!!!  And YOU can help us!!!!

If we earn $75 or more in proceeds in the month of March 2011, then we will receive 4 bags of 13oz coffee of our choice, a Travel Mug, and a bumper sticker.  That's over $60 in product that we will GIVE AWAY!!!

That means we need to sell 15 bags of coffee in March.  That's more than we have sold in any one month so far, but with your help we CAN DO IT!!!  And because we don't drink coffee (gasp) we will have a drawing to GIVE IT AWAY!!!

For every bag of coffee YOU purchase in March (if we meet the goal of $75) you will get 1 entry into our drawing.  Why don't you take this opportunity to help us and stock up on your coffee supply.  Maybe buy some as a gift for a family member or friend.  The cost of this coffee is comparable with Starbucks brand coffee (so I've been told).  Will you please help us reach this goal????

Please share our "Just Love Coffee" store link (www.justlovecoffee.com/Maxwells) on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, or however else you communicate with people :-).  And check it out for yourself :-).

Home-made Cards ~ Are you a card person?  Do you like to give special cards to your family and friends?  Do you just buy the generic cards you can pick up at WalMart or do you like to make the cards a little more personal?  How would you feel about being able to buy some very nice and creative home-made cards AND help us raise the money we need for our Ethiopian adoption?

Thanks to Nathan's sister Heidi and the many wonderful ladies who helped her by making beautiful cards, we have 80 packets of home-made cards to sell.  ALL the proceeds will go directly into our adoption fund {we are currently working to raise the $7700 we need in order to send our dossier to Ethiopia}.

We have 50 packets of All-Occasion cards.  Each packet contains 4 different and unique cards chosen from the following categories ~ Get Well, Wedding, Thank You, Sympathy, General Friendship, and Birthday.

We also have 30 packets of General Birthday cards.  Again, each packet consists of 4 cards that are different and unique, made by a variety of creative ladies.

We are asking for a $10 minimum donation for each packet of cards.  That's only $2.50 per card!!!

Also, if you purchase 5 or more packets, we will throw in a FREE card {while supplies last}.  Why not go ahead and stock up for all those birthday and other special occasions that will come up in the next few months???

"Together for Good" Photo Shoot ~ Are you starting to think towards pictures for Christmas cards?  If you live in central Iowa and are interested in a FREE photo shoot with Erin {Together for Good} and a FREE cd of the pictures she takes {and edits!!} in exchange for a monetary donation of any amount {doesn't matter the size} to our adoption fund, please contact me {hearts1982@gmail.com} or head over to Erin's blog and set something up with her.  Thanks!!!

Our niece, Esther, came over to help put the card packets together.  She was a big help by putting the cards together with their envelopes.

Our living room was a little messy as Heidi, Esther, Nathan and I worked to put the card packets together.

Thank you, Heidi, for all your hard work in putting the fund-raiser together for us.  We love you!!!!
