Helping a Good Cause

There are so many wonderful causes out there but this one stood out in my heart. Meet Adrienne and Jim and read their story here. I have been following Adrienne's blog for a long time now and after 6 miscarriages and 2 failed US adoptions, they have found their baby girl, Lily, in South Korea and need to raise money to bring her home.
Why it struck me so strongly is because my husband and I wanted to be parents more than anything and unfortunately it wasn't happening for us naturally. We needed help. During our 18 month quest to get pregnant, I researched International adoption, and was surprised at the enormous expense. If our first round of invitro didn't work this was to be our next option. We were blessed with our miracles Paxton & Avery and my parents for helping us financially. (Later blessed with two more miracles Easton & Adler conceived from our frozen embryos)
Therefore, I am donating 15% of all my sales to them when you mention Lily at time of purchase. Personalized stationery makes excellent gifts! If you don't see something in my shop I can create it for you.
You may also go here and find other companies offering percentages of your purchase.

Rainbow love

The violet invitation design in rainbow colors with gold. LOVE, LOVE how they turned out!  I was excited when designing them digitally but seeing in print on natural white made me gush with joy! The bride loved them too.    The gold envelopes add an extra touch of excitement along with the invite and postcard rsvp. These are the save the dates, in greens and blues and grey.  (they did have rounded corners too, in my excitement to photograph while the sun was out and wind was low, I obviously forgot to round the corners) Planning a wedding or event? I'd love to work with you. Send me a note s tephanie@steliedesigns.com
