Give Love to Vytas & Keepsake Box






After collecting quite a few items for Vytas I decided I needed a place to put them all.
 I'm good at losing things but I certainly didn't want to lose his special gifts.  I started searching for a keepsake box high and low and I found nothing.   Thankfully my amazing mom found me the perfect one! :) 

It's a clear box with a cute honeycomb pattern on all sides.  And it's red! Which matches the Winnie the Pooh theme, sorta. ;)   So a special shout out "Thanks!" to my mom!  

 


Isn't if the cutest?  The little red heart on the lid is actually a sticky note I stuck there, it says "Keepsake" on it.       One day when his forever family finds him, I'll send this to them for him.  I want Vytas to know how much he was loved when he thought he wasn't.   Most mothers make their children keepsake boxes when, starting from the time they were born to around 5-10 years old.   Since Vytas doesn't have a mother to watch him grow up and save his things, I'm making him and his future mother their own keepsake box.  Filling it with things that people have done for him and things I've gotten him while he was waiting in the orphanage.  

                                                   Here's what it's filled with..

                                          



So far I have his little knit Pooh Bear hat, his puzzle from the puzzle fundraiser that's currently still going on for him. And something new!  His BIRTHDAY card! 

                                           


I wanted a certain Birthday card for "my" boy and finding it was so difficult!  I looked through like every single "Happy 5th Birthday" card in my tiny town and had zero luck, until I crossed this simple little card in one of the last places I looked.  The little bee kinda ties in with the Pooh theme too ;) (No I'm not obsessed, it just happened to work out that way! Ha ha!)  Since I can't wish him happy birthday in reality this year, I can get a card that describes what I'm doing perfectly!  Thinking of him on his birthday.  Though I don't have an exact day of when that is, I do know that there hasn't been a day that's passed since I became his warrior where I haven't thought of him.  

Here's the inside of the card.


 



                                             


I can't even describe how bad I want him to see this card, and have it be read to him!  I want this blond boy to know HE IS LOVED.  By the our Heavenly Father, and me.   

I had a little idea for this card.  I know there are some other people that would love to show love to Vytas too, and I want to give you a chance to do that.  If you donate $10 or more into his adoption grant on his Reece's Rainbow profile and email, comment or message me your name and brief wish to Vytas, I will write it inside of his Birthday card.  That way one day he'll be able to see who loved him all along. :)   I'm hoping to fill this card up before the end of April!  So if you guys could all share the link with people that would be incredible!!  :)  

The link below will take you to Vytas's official Reece's Rainbow site where there's a donation button, you click on that and you should know what to do from there! 


After you donate come back here and leave your name and small wish or message to Vytas that you would like to be wrote in the card, also leave the amount you donated too.  If you don't feel comfortable commenting email me here. :)

Thank you so so much for taking time to read this!  Please remember to keep Vytas in your prayers if you can!  It means the world to me!
