My friends Kelly and Jason are trying to adopt a baby. Adopting can be a very expensive process so Kelly and Jason are trying to do some fundraising to help offset the costs. When they told me they would be hosting a yard sale, I immediately started thinking of ways I could help and of course painting came to mind.

Without telling Kelly exactly what I was up to, I asked her to send me some photos of the baby's nursery. Since they are working with lots of hand-me-downs, Kelly explained that it didn't quite have any "theme" but showed me an elephant art print that she had liked a lot. That was all I needed! I decided to do some love animals -- since I know that Kelly and Jason both already have so much love to give. You can see that there are hidden hearts in every print -- from an elephant ear to a monkey's tail.

Kelly auctioned off prints of these images at her yard sale and ended up bringing in a solid profit! I am so happy that I could help. If you'd like to learn more about their story, or if you would like to help, please check out their blog: http://bringbabygreerhome.wordpress.com/.
