The bunkbed fundraiser, phase 1: Giveaway & Sale!

edit: a winner has been chosen.  Congrats to Katey!

It's taken longer than I expected to get my ducks in a row - what am I saying?!  They're still not in a row!  But we had hoped to build our crazy new bunkbeds already, and we're just now ready to start raising funds for it.

So here's Phase 1 of the plan:

The girls always have items from the Vision Forum clearance shelf (not to be confused with the VF online clearance outlet) for sale on our For Sale page, but this week we're turning it into a real e-shop and adding lots of new stuff.  Prices are discounted by at least 50%, often much more.  The girls are going to donate the proceeds from this sale toward the materials for the bunkbeds.

I hope you're already interested, but here's the really fun part:

Anyone who places an order of any size will be entered in a drawing for a free 18" Liberty Doll!

To enter, just visit our shop and place an order, then leave a comment here saying that you placed an order.  In the past orders were accepted on a first come, first served basis but this time you'll find a real shopping cart with real inventory and your total will be neatly presented to you.

We also want to give you a chance to enter without ordering.  To enter without placing an order, just blog about this sale/giveaway and leave a comment telling us to be entered in the drawing.  Of course you're invited to do both!


The details:

Shipping charges keep changing because I'm having trouble making it work, but right now we'll charge a flat $4 fee, no matter what size your order is.  Fair?

Most of these items are from the clearance shelf at Vision Forum.  They may have a smudged page, bumped corner, a small crease or other slight imperfections.  If we notice a major flaw or defect we will note it.  Many appear perfect.  They may simply be perfect stock that has been discontinued or redesigned.

Below is a partial list of what we have available at the moment:

See something you want?  Go to our Bunk Bed Fund to snag it before it's gone!

  1. I placed my order! great deals! Thanks

  2. Looks like sleeping late today made me miss out… I wanted the Sargeant York book and it appears to be gone already. Let me know if you get another copy! Thanks :)

  3. The order was placed. I would still like to find copies of The Backyard Homestead, The Codes, Ciphers book, and the Lamplighter book. Thank you Heather

  4. Ordered. But it charged me postage despite being above $50? Odd.

    That Codes book must have gone fast!

  5. My Boaz’s Ruth,
    I just refunded your shipping. Sorry – we’re still tinkering with the settings, trying to make it charge the way we want.

  6. Hey! I tried to email you but it bounced. I want to add a 2nd copy of the Adelina book to that. I thought I had one already but just realized what I have is “Princess and the kiss”

  7. I just placed an order but I don’t think it charged me shipping. I would also love to buy the “Backyard Homestead”, “So Much More”, and “Family Man” books if you have any more available. Also, just wanted to make sure that my order will be shipped to the address I used on your shopping cart not my paypal address. Thanks so much and I can’t wait to see pictures of the bunkbeds.

  8. I placed an order too… thanks!

  9. hope this isn’t a stupid question, but do you except paypal?

  10. oops, i tried to order but couldn’t choose a state as I live overseas!

    do you ship internationally?

  11. Kim,
    I was wondering if the book Princess Adelina goes along with one called “The two Princesses of Bamarre?” My daughter just read this book and it makes mention of Princess Adelina….
    I am thinking about getting a few copies for Christmas presents : )

  12. I ordered! Thank you and I can’t wait to see the bunk beds!

  13. I didn’t place an order, but someone recommended your blog to me, and I must say, I’m obsessed, and I love your great bunk idea. Love it! Love it! Love it!

  14. Hello! I believe this is my first comment on your blog, but I have been enjoying it for some time now and my husband has been reading even longer. We have four girls so far, so I guess maybe we see a glimpse of what our future may hold in your family :)
    We’ve just ordered Princess Adelina, which I am so excited to read with my girls!
    God bless you, and congratulations on #10!

  15. Kim,
    How do I order from the list you have? Is that still through VF? I want Princess Adelina(2), and Making Brothers and sister friends…

  16. thanks to everyone who has ordered so far!

  17. I am SO excited to receive the Genesis Record!

  18. I ordered and would love to be entered for the doll.

  19. I placed another order. Thanks for adding more of the “Family Man” books.

  20. [...] remember, if you blog about our sale or place an order of any size, leave a comment on this post to be entered in the drawing for a free Liberty Doll, also from [...]

  21. I just placed my order! Thanks! :)

  22. I placed my order, thanks for doing this!

  23. I got my order! Already!

    And I LOVE the Princess Adelina book. I’m so glad I got two. I was not expecting the quality of the book to be so GOOD. It’s– like the Naughtiest Girl books I got from England and have cherished my whole life. Small footprint but hardcover. It just makes it seem perfect.

    I may end up having to get more, eventually, cause the quality is so good for gifts. Got to wait for cousins to grow up some.

    And I love the story. And another proof that “our” way of Christianity goes back quite a ways. (as well as the interesting definition of separated. I like that. Also like the way they go out a-missionary-ing! That seems like it might be more successful, having some community there. It’s by the grace of God, I think, our missionaries do as good as they do.)

    I was meaning to get other work done but sat down and got halfway through the book instead. And I want more!

    In the beginning, it insinuated this was part of a series? What other books do you publish?

  24. Placed my order finally : )
    Had not used paypal in a while, but got it figured out ….

  25. I can’t place an order right now, but I was happy to blog about your sale!

    I pray you’re able to raise enough to get those bunk beds up! They sound awesome and since our home is about the size of yours, although your family is 2.25 children larger than ours LOL, I’m still gleaning ideas for our own along the way! Keep blogging step by step please! *grin*

  26. PS you don’t happen to have a sale banner or square sidebar ad, hiding in someone’s creative brain do you? Or even just a site linking graphic. I’d love to have one for my main page!

  27. Kim,
    I wanted to let you know that I received double the books that I ordered…
    So 4 copies of Adelina and 2 of Making Brothers and Sisters best friends.

  28. Thanks Kim,
    We will do as you said and gift those extra books : )

  29. Who won this giveaway?
