Mary Kay Anyone...

Chris' Aunt (Missy Ayers from St. Marys) is a Mary Kay Consultant, and is very gracious to help us with financing our adoption!! For the month of December, anyone who orders or books a party with her will actually be helping us finance our adoption!!! With each item sold, Missy Ayers will donate 20% towards our adoption!!!

If anyone needs makeup,perfume, or skin care products let me know (yes, they do have men's products)! I can get you books & order forms, and I will even get them to Missy! Please remember, it's only for December, so please book parties or order soon!! Order by 12/10/12 for delivery before Christmas.

Thanks Doug & Missy for your support of our growing family! Thank you for graciously helping us bring our baby girl home!
