Miracle of Adoption Christmas Campaign 
All preorders of I Did It! in November and all Etsy Sales in the month of December will contribute a percentage of profits to Pippy's adoption fund. The goal is to reach $1,000 in her funds by January 1st! (Donations directly to her page also count!) 

70% of profits on I Did It! BEFORE December 1st. 17% during December. 
7% of profits on all other Etsy products during December 

Anyone who adopts Pippy will also receive the Waiting Child Portrait I did of her. I will also be doing a 2nd, updated, portrait of her this December to hopefully catch the eye of her future family! 

EDIT Jan 2022: GOAL MET!

"I Did It!" A Medical Log, Journal, and Reward Book for Kids
Yeah, that's right! I am finally publishing again! I Did It! is a guided journal made for children who have a lot of medical or psych appointments. Learn more on the new I Did It! webpage linked below. Thanks for all the support! 

Your child will be guided through activities that help them take ownership of their wellness, be mindful of and share their feelings, and even add joy to doctor’s appointments.

“I Did It!” was made with input from parents of medically complex children, my own experiences as someone with multiple conditions, and my decade of working with people who have various diagnoses.
