1 Week From Today…

we will be boarding a plane bound for Ethiopia to finally meet our little Sol.  We have been absolute crazy people since we got word about having to travel so quickly.  Of course I wanted to make him some items.  His art is still not done, but I added an “s” to his blankie and added his initials to his baby bag.  I have had my eye on this bag at Target, but have been waiting for it to go on clearance and Sunday Josh and I went out to run some errands at Target and that’s when I saw Sol’s bag was finally on clearance…so excited.

And now if you will look closely to this darling picture of me (ha)…what’s that around my neck you ask?  Do you remember this post? Well if my Bible study ladies hadn’t done enough already, Monday was my last meeting before we leave and this is what they gave me.  Was I totally shocked?  Yes and no.  Yes in the fact that I never expected them to get this necklace that I completely adore, but not for the fact that they are just that generous and loving and thoughtful.  Thanks Alissa, Ashley, Courtney, Jessica and Karen.  I really, really love it.

Now for some orders.  This set of paintings are headed to North Carolina to three brothers.  Their mom Lindsay contacted me about these and was so nice to work with.  Thanks Lindsay for your order and good luck with everything.

Next is a baby girl gift that my friend Jess ordered for a friend of hers.  Jess always gives me free rein which I love.  Thanks again Jess.

Lastly is a birthday order for two sisters.  There mom wanted tea towel calendars on the front and their age on the back.  They are having a joint party this year with lots of blues and greens.  Thanks again Vonda, it was a pleasure…as usual.

And don’t forget our Starbucks coffee raffle ends this Friday.  Tickets are just $5 each and buy any 2 tickets and get a third free.  Go here for more details or just scroll down.  Thanks everybody.
