So Gina, tell us a little about yourself!
-Your shop name(s)
My shop name is chopstickdreams
-How did you get your start on Etsy?
I am a stay at home mom of four kids and wanted to find a way that I could make a little extra money. I enjoy crafting and was excited to find an outlet that I could easily sell some of the items that I make. The main purpose of my shop is to help raise funds for a future adoption. My husband and I adopted a older child from China a few years ago and it has been such an amazing blessing for our entire family that we would like to be able to bring home another older child. Our adopted daughter Addy is also very excited about helping with this project and has made hats that she is selling in our etsy shop.
-What does a typical day look like for you?
A typical day for me usually involves running my children from activity to activity, laundry, making meals etc....
This is the reason that I love etsy because it is a great way for busy moms to make some money working around a busy schedule
-How did you choose your shop name?
I choose my shop name chopstickdreams because we are dreaming of going back to China to adopt another child and I thought this would be a fun name to have for a shop.
-If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
Of course I am sure you have figured out the answer to this question. China!
-What is your favorite Bible verse?
One of my favorite Bible verses is: James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
-What is your favorite Etsy item listing to feature?
My favorite item listing is my childs mini bucket bag with the bird applique.
-URLs to where else we can find you on the internet

Nice to meet you Gina! Love the name of your shop! I think my favorite is the turquoise paisley fob.
Great story. I had a chance to visit an orphanage in China and will never forget it. A friend I was with brought home a special needs boy we met there as her son 18 months later!
I love the name of your shop!
Thank you for posting this article!
I will mark you shop and visit!
When I was a missionary in Hong Kong, I worked
with people who adopted children from China.
Often have I dreamed of doing the same thing!
Blessings upon your home and your business!
I love how you started the shop for your adoption. I know several people who have adopted or are in the midst of adopting. It is a great way to serve the Lord by opening your family up to show His love to a child!
