It all began over a dog. A puppy to be exact. Have you ever had your child beg and beg and beg you for a pet?
That’s what happened with one of my best friends, Kelly. Her boys have been pleading with her and her husband about getting a new dog. Unfortunately, because Kelly and her husband, Tom, are smart cookies they are following the Debt Movement to a tee, and there is no room in the budget for a “dog fund”.
Of course, we aren’t just talking about ANY dog. They have dreamed of owning a Mini Goldendoodle puppy for quite some time. And because a dog is a 10+ year commitment, they want to make the right choice about what dog will work for their family.
I mean, can you blame them? Look at those faces.
And those puppies deserve a good home!
Kelly had this creative idea on how she could make a little extra cash to be able to get the dog of their dreams.
Of her boys dreams. And girl. Ahem.
It involves these UH-AMAZINGLY cute personalized monogram wall decals!
Go ahead, drool a little bit…
While you’re at it, drool over the absolutely gorgeous brick wall in her bedroom.
Gah, me jealous.
Lucky for me…I have a wall decal on order as we speak.
Kelly is making me a single initial monogram as opposed to the 3 letter one because ours is going in our new basement!
As for the brick wall…do you think my husband would go for a master bedroom makeover twice in one year? Bahaha!
Don’t answer that.
Ok, take your focus back to the monogram on the wall because you are about to find out how you can order one too! For a fabulous price, by the way.
All in the name of the “dog fund”.
I think Kelly secretly hates my for encouraging her husband to join the Debt Movement.
Are y’all ready to hear from Kelly {and Baylor} about what she’s offering?
Better yet…who’s on Team Dog Fund?
A Little Bit About Kelly
My husband and I have owned our sign business since 2005. We have made everything from banners, billboards, yard signs, car, truck, and boat graphics, and so much more.
About five years ago we began using matte vinyl that can be used for wall art. We have had many different custom quotes and monograms in our home throughout the years. The vinyl used for these monograms are removable, but not repositionable.
The Why
Here’s why we’re up to our elbows in Extra Large Monograms. Puppies!
That’s it. A puppy. We found a puppy that is exactly what we want for our family. The problem-o, like Mandy mentioned, we joined The Debt Movement and the new budget doesn’t allow for a puppy until 2014!!! Say what?
The cute little tiny puppy will be full grown and living in someone else’s happy home in 2014. So I had to devise a plan to use our resources to create a puppy fund!
These F1B Mini Goldendoodles are just what my boys need, so I will do my best to get it for them! The puppy is ready to go home on 2/16/2013, and if you know my boys sssshhhhh!!! Don’t tell them.
You see, if mama’s plan doesn’t develop, there will be no puppy at our home for now, and the only thing worse than no puppy, is sad boys because there is no new four-legged friend moving in to our house.

Good morning, I would love to purchase one of these monograms for our home. Since my husband and I were recently married, we need some type of monogram for the house. This is perfect.
Mandy says
Hey Kristina!! I think I know you? Yes? I was a Shaker at SIU and then I worked for Mike Trude as the G.A. You were the academic advisor, right? Ok…I may be totally off, but I swear I remember your name and then I saw your email was siu.edu. I will pass your email katt@athletics.siu.edu on to Kelly and you should hear from her soon!!
Kristina says
Hi Mandy. Yes it’s me! I didn’t know if you would recognize the last name so I didn’t mention anything. I also was married on New Year’s Eve thus the addition of a last name. Katie Parrish was our photographer and the pictures are amazing. We’ve only seen a few so far but they are beautiful. Good luck helping your friend raise the money for a puppy. We have three of them and if my husband would let me, I would probably have even more! Take care and have a great day. Kristina
Mandy says
So fun that it is YOU! And even funnier that I remember Katie telling me she just had a wedding at SIU! Congratulations!! That is awesome! Glad to reconnect with you and thanks for supporting the dog fund! 🙂
