Newspaper Ads

Dan found a service (NationwideClassifieds.com) that will assist you in placing ads in almost any newspaper. All we had to do was select the papers we wanted and give them our ad and they organize with the papers to get them placed. Fast, simple and easy (we like that!). We are starting with small weekly papers here in MN - Sun Publications, Free Press, ECM Publishers and City Pages (approx 542,000 circulations). We were going to run it the first two weeks of July but missed the deadline because since it is an ad for adoption they needed a letter from our agency stating we are qualified to adopt; I suppose somewhere somehow there was a lawsuit, someone who hadn't completed a homestudy tried to adopt. Anyway, so it will be the 2nd two weeks of July which is probably better since we are taking a trip up to Canada part of the first week and second week.

And we just ordered car magnets, you know the ones you see people advertising their businesses on, it's 12" x 24". This fabulous idea came from our friend Jill. Why not, can't hurt!

Today is my niece, Michelle's, 18th birthday. Happy Birthday!!!!! What in the world do you get for an 18 year old????? I have made plans with her to take her to lunch on Friday and to go shopping, that way she can pick out what she wants.
