Painting Giveaway!!!

8/8/2015

Our sweet friends, who are managing the fundraiser for us, have a surprise for supporters to the cause!

They'd like to give three original, unframed paintings to the first three donors of $700 or more. This can also include anyone who has already given a lesser amount, and gives another gift, totaling $700 or more.  
Note: One person has already given this amount, and will receive one of the paintings, so there are two paintings left!

These will be painted in acrylics or watercolor by Melissa Merritt, sister of Ann Merritt, and will be mailed out at the end of the fundraiser. The painting will be of a farm/country scene, similar to the one shown, but with a few differences. (One difference is that it may have more green to reflect TN!) The size for the acrylic paintings should be 7" x 9", and the watercolor, if used, will be of a slightly larger size.


More of Melissa's work can be found here:  https://paintermelissa.wordpress.com


Note: If you specify to be anonymous when you give your donation, we will try to keep you anonymous when we give the painting, otherwise it may be revealed who the paintings have gone to.
Thank you so much for your support, please pass the word along!

Dear Vickie, Oh my, I am teary when I read your story of moving. I did not know you ladies had to leave behind that lovely home. But GOD is so good and He has a marvelous plan for you all, I just know that. We have the DVDs and my daughter and I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM and watch them over and over again. We have shared them with so many mums and daughters. We sing the "song" all the time and often heard in our home...it is a blessing! like Miss Vickie says. We pray for you all. I am going to ask my husband to prayerfully consider sending $100 to help. Not much, but we will also let others know. God bless Vickie and her girls. Lovely modest ladies for my daughter to watch and learn from. My veggie patch is small, but thanks to you instructions, we have enjoyed learning to homestead in baby steps (praying for our own place and a wood burning stove!). We have been transitioning from Urban life to more country. We pray the LORD allows us to eventually have some land of our own; we rent now. Thank you all for your sharing so freely what the LORD has blessed you with; talents, time and treasures. May He bless you with His CHOICE blessings. Love from a Sister in VA and her daughter, Anna and Caelainn (keelin) Team Robertson

Hello! My daughters and I love watching your DVDs. We are missionaries overseas and have been blessed so much by your tips and ideas. We love to sew and have especially enjoyed the sewing and quilting DVD. You all are so creative when it comes to upcycling and repurposing clothing. Would you consider doing some additional blog entries along these lines? Showing thrifted clothes and how you upcycle them? Or making clothes without a pattern? This is a very popular topic and I would imagine it would drive more traffic to your blog as well. Just an idea! God bless you!
