WHERE HAS TIME WENT??

Wow. I can't believe it is March. It is past time to get this up and running again. We are going to change the way things are done here. I am just going to list the blankets, a description, price ect. and the first person to comment that they want to purchase it will be the lucky buyer! Bear with me as I fight with my computer to get all the pictures re-posted. In the mean time you may scroll down through this blog and see what I already have posted previously. I have sold some here at home but I will take those posts off. So what you see should be able to be purchased. If there is one you are interested in leave me a comment. While I am working on getting that reformatted go check out a friends blog who is also doing a fundraiser for adoption. They have WONDERFUL bags! http://www.bagsforzaza.blogspot.com/. I gave them as Christmas gifts and everyone loves them. They are practical, roomy, beautiful, fun, sassy, and much more! They make awesome library bags for the kids as well as for mom! Out with gal's, ......shopping w/ a friend, ...like a roomy over the shoulder purse? ......here you go. Here are some pictures from my family's Christmas of the bags.

The back and border on the front are out of a white silky furry fleece. My little one curled up in it to show you just how COZY it is! It is wonderful to use, beautiful to drape over the end of the couch or across a chair and bring the Christmas cheer in.

National Adoption Day

Hello!
Sorry to not have posted before now. As some of you know this weekend was the craft sale...it was a big weekend (and a blessing!) and THEN I went Christmas shopping ALL day with my in laws yesterday! I am tired!!! We had a lot of repeat customers from last years sale who came back looking for, "more of those wonderful blankets that they got last year"! :) See, you DO need two! One lady bought 2 last year, came back and bought 6 more then came AGAIN the next day to get 4 more! Her grandchildren will LOVE HER! Thank you ma'am. THANK YOU to all who came to the sale and supported us and to my wonderful sis in law who gave up a day and 1/2 just to help me and my best friend who helped as well! You are loved!
I am working on getting more blankets posted today. Please keep checking back as I have many neat ones to post. So many in fact I don't know where to start!!! So if you want to see a particular color, or theme, please leave me comment and I will try to fulfil your request!

Today is National Adoption Day. Who do you know that is adopted? Reach out a give them an extra hug. Let them know how glad you are that they are a part of your life and what a blessing they are to you. How thankful we are for our children that the Lord has brought to us through adoption. I cannot even imagine what our life would be like without them. We are looking forward to the day that we get to meet our newest members of our family who are waiting for us in Colombia. Come Back Later!

Thank You!
