2 Months LID!

Haven't been posting much, but just realized it's been a little over 2 months now since LID! I'm surprised that time seems to be flying but maybe that's because I am keeping busy with doing things around the house and trying not to spend all my time focused on the adoption or anything adoption or China related. I'm sure when I'm at 13, 14 months LID it won't seem like time is flying anymore.

June Secret Pal Gift

Just wanted to post a pic of the gift I received yesterday from my Secret Pal from the CCAI March/April 2007 LID group. June's swap theme was books. I love books so this was great. It's a book called "My Friends" and it's in Chinese and english. It's really cute! Raven already has a small collection in the bookcase that I made so this is perfect! Thank you Secret Pal!

Shopaholic!

Ok... I admit it. Hi, my name is Chris and I'm a shopaholic! LOL Although, it's not so much the buying as it is the looking for something to buy..haha. And I am trying to only buy things on sale so it's not too bad. Plus I signed up for a couple of Secret Pal swaps so I get to buy things for other people too, which is fun!

I got this little dress last week on sale, of course. It's 12 months. I didn't think I'd be a big pink person but looks like I might be after all.






I was originally thinking about painting the nursey pink, but the pinks I like will end up looking like Pepto Bismol, so I am thinking about purple. Still trying to decide, but I have time. Maybe we'll do a mural or just some simple things like a cherry blossom tree (to go with the purple walls..lol) or maybe just flowers all over the place.

I've also received more squishes (squares/wishes) for the 100 Good Wishes quilt which I've posted to the other blog.

100 Good Wishes Quilt Blog

I've received my first quilt square for the 100 Good Wishes Quilt I'll be making (or attempting to make) for our daughter once we receive 100 squares. I created another blog to document all of the great quilt squares we will receive. Wishes4Raven
