Greathall Educational Storytelling CD's

So, I promise that I will eventually get back to blogging about our daily life... the good times, the bad times.... oh, did I mention the bad times??? Could be that that's one of the reasons I've been MIA lately. Things are still pretty rough around here and I don't want to be a downer.

I am so glad, though, that I'm being kept busy with fundraising our trip to India in January. A friend asked me if I was still planning on going - in light of the things we've been dealing with regarding Nandi - and I said, "Uh, yeah!"

Truly, I am so grateful that I have that trip to look forward to - it's keeping me going. Otherwise, I could very well dissolve into a big 'ol puddle on the floor.

And that wouldn't be very pretty now - would it?

Anyway, not that I'm trying to pimp our mission trip blog or anything... and, yes, that may very well be the first and only time that you'll read the words pimping and mission trip in the same sentence... but we have signed up for a fantastic fundraiser that I wanted everyone to know about.

Have you heard of a really cool award-winning storyteller named Jim Weiss? He's the guy who did some of the Harry Potter audio books. You may have heard him talking on NPR. Or maybe you've bought some of his audio CD's from his company, Greathall Productions.

Well, they have agreed to let us do a fundraiser for our upcoming trip to India. Remember how a group of us are planning to visit Sarah in January and build a playground for her kids? Yeah.. well, it's going to take some serious moolah. Just to get us over there... that doesn't include the playground.

For every CD that we sell at $15, we get to keep $4 of that to go directly into our India fund.

Not bad!

I really hope you all will look at the CD's and check out the samples online. You can view both HERE.

Seriously, this guy is amazing. I can't wait to get my grubby hands on a copy of Just-So Stories. Our summer will be packed with therapy treks to Dallas and this will be perfect to listen to in the car. I'm also planning on donating a few CD's to our local library, and saving some for our homeschool lessons.

If any of you are interested, please email me at recoveringnoah@yahoo.com and we'll sort out the details. Just let me know what you'd like to get and I'll send you our P.O. Box. If you are local, you can just give me the money or pass it on to someone from church.

This will be an ongoing fundraiser, but our first deadline is set for June 15th. Once the orders are complete, the CD's will be shipped via priority mail within 24-48 hours.

Thank you so much for considering this. We really appreciate it! Oh! And please pass the word. Seriously, blog it. Facebook it. Email it. Shout it from the roof tops. These CDs rock and every home needs at least one. Or ten. Or twenty. You decide. Just link them back to our Cornerstone India blog or this one right here.

Now... I promise that my next post will be the full train wreck that has started to become associated with my blog.... ;-) It will include all the details of bite marks, bottle feeding, and how incredibly ticked off I am that attachment therapists can get by with charging $150 - $195 an hour simply because the need is there. Ooooh.... don't get me started........
