Hi friends and family!

We are honored you will share in our special day of celebration!

We're lucky to already have a home full of nearly everything we need, so we thought to get a bit more creative here. If you know us, you know that we love to MAKE things! (it's one of the many reasons we have SO much fun together). So in the spirit of making said things, and in the spirit of fun togetherness, we decided to ask for something that will allow us to MAKE ALL THE AMAZING things! A CNC machine, to be exact!

What in the world is a CNC machine, you might ask? Well, to summarize quickly, think large table with robot guided cutting arm. We would design something on our computer, stuff like furniture parts, picture frames, eyewear frames, etc., then send it to our "table robot", who will use various drill bits to cut it for us, on demand! This robot can cut through materials like plastics, woods, metals ... it can also do neat things like engraving and carving. This machine has unlimited potential for us ... we can start a product line together, we can build Bowie's baby furniture, we can make all sorts of ART. It'll be amazing!

We're so very excited to be asking for this (and we know it's a big ticket item), so we'd like to make YOU part of the fun! This said, we'd like to offer a little gift back to you guys for helping to make our MAKER DREAMS a reality!

So ....

• For every $25-$100 contribution, you will receive your name, cut out of a fine piece of wood (or fine piece of acrylic)!

• For every $100-$200 contribution, you will receive an ornate picture frame, cut out of a fine piece of wood (or fine piece of acrylic)!

• For $200+ contribuition(s), you will receive a *MYSTERY GIFT* (a custom design of ours, once we figure out what that is ... somewhere along the lines of a light fixture, clock, etc.)

FUN, right? We hope so! We see this machine having real potential for us in our future endeavors as a family, and we certainly would not be able to have purchased one without some help. So, thank you from the bottom of our creative hearts for participating!

Lots and lots of LOVE!
