a little bit surprising

My Aunt Lyla took this picture of the table they had set up at the garage sale this weekend.  My mom called my Great Grandma Rose today and Grandma said she is sending  $76 to add to the World Vision fundraising page.

My mom had me guess how much I thought they might have and I guessed $10.

I have a t-shirt design

My t-shirt printer developed this design for me and I like it a lot.  The following colors will be available White, Light Blue and Pink, and sizes of Youth S, M, L and Adult S, M, L, XL.  Each t-shirt will cost $15.00 + $2.00s&h (bulk mailing rates are available), and all the net profits will go to my Got Goat Project in support of World Vision.  My parents are donating their time and gas, so that all the money I raise can go directly World Vision.

Because of the way my parents handle money we'll be able to process orders in one of two ways:

1. Paypal 

2. Check or money order mailed to my mom or dad

If you're interested you can e-mail gotgoat2011@gmail.com about which method you would prefer to do, and I'll get back to you with the details on how to make it happen..  Also, right now we are taking pre-orders only, and once we reach the minimum order number the shirts will be printed and shipped out.

Now for the exciting part.  How would you like to earn a FREE "Got Goat" t-shirt?  That's right I said free!  I am issuing the 24 T-SHIRT CHALLENGE.  The first 3 people who can sell 24 pre-orders will receive their own t-shirt free of charge in the size and color of their choosing. To qualify for this you must collect all the money, and submit one order to me and one form of payment (one check, money order, or paypal payment).

VLOG 2

weekly update

I have a meeting with a owner of a printing company tomorrow to make t-shirts.  So maybe I will post again this week to let you know what we work out.

My great grandma and Aunt Lyla are having a garage sale.  They are going to put out one of my posters and see if anyone wants to make a donation. I am excited to see how they did on their garage sale.

Thanks for reading.  Have a good week.

Lemonade stand

Over the weekend, I had a lemonade stand at our garage sale to raise money for my project.  Not much people came around to our garage sale, but I raised $11 selling lemonade.

I sold some of my old toys and also put that towards the project.  I am very happy.  I raised $84.50 with the help of my parents from the garage sale.

{Hopefully my mom will remember to put the money on my fundraising page this week.  She's a forgetter.}

about those t-shirts...

Hey, its Mom here posting in Wil's absence.  (The kid has to go to school.)  Anyway, as you can see we have t-shirt's!  Barbie did an excellent job making them for the boys and they were so excited that they wanted to wear them to church (Good Friday) the day we got them!

Barbie warned me that there might be "issues."  She had been on a forum regarding the materials she used and there were mixed reviews.

Sadly, some of the letters on Walker's shirt were peeling off by the time we dropped him off to his class at church.  Thankfully, all of Wilson's letters survived.  I handwashed Wil's shirt, laid it flat to dry, and pressed the letters on again before he wore it to school.  Its holding up perfectly.

But, that's an awful lot of steps to care for a cotton t-shirt.  So after talking with Barbie again, we decided we'd look for a screen-printer here in town.  We'll be keeping the design very similar to what you see above.  I am hoping to locate a place this week.

All that to say - hopefully we'll have news on t-shirts soon.  Also, the word on the street is that the post-wide garage sale is this coming weekend!  We thought it was later in the month.  So this might be the kick-off of the lemonade sales!

Thanks for encouraging Wilson through this and for praying for him as he strives to reach this goal for God's glory.  The day he wore his t-shirt to school, he passed out business cards to a lot of his classmates!
