Off to China in 10 days!

I know I've talked about the adoption of my sister before...

Well... we recently (1 week ago) heard that we are approved to go to China. We leave on Dec. 7 and arrive home on Dec. 20. Home for Christmas!!!!!!

We get AnnaClaire on Dec. 11!

10 days and counting...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We decorated on Saturday. I love Christmas!

Madison Sloan

I went here and found this placemat that I love. It's 2 sided with toile and leporad. I like the toile. Check it out www.madisonsloan.com. They have other great ones as well, plus some other cool items! This is the Audrey placemat.

great calanders...

I don't even know HOW I found these, but the link was on my favorites. I think these personal calenders are great. They also make really good gifts... My favorite one is the "collage" one. This one is the "basic" one. go to www.imaginethiscreations.home.comcast.net to see them all.

Heather Bailey

I LOVE this fabric. I especially love the way she sets the fabrics up for photoshots. So unique and yet utterly incredible. These fabrics aren't even in stores yet. I love them. Every last one.

"antique" crib

this is AnnaClaire's crib. (AnnaClaire is my baby sister waiting in China). It was actually first Drew's (brother, 18) crib. 3 years later it was Will's (brother, now 15), and 2 years after that it was all me! A few weeks ago, we pulled out our "antique" and set it up. Besides a few milk stains, it is in good shape. I love this crib. The new ones are so... high tech and... big. But I just love this. It has an old and special feel to it. :)
I also love our bedding. It is PB Kids Allison bedding. When the crib was mine, my mom kept the boyish teddy bear bedding... luckily she got rid of that so we had no choice but new! :)

***couldn't get the picture to post. i'll try again later***

Fun designed website

Okay so you all know I'm stuck in the world of adoption and babies. I was on someones website today and was checking out their links when I came across this website. This website is for babyslings, but the reason I like it is because I love the website layout and name. So I just had to share it here.
www.goo-ga.com
(how cute is that???)

First of all, I LOVE the color combinations. Second of all, I love the gingham at the top. 3rd of all, I love the name inside of the peanut shell, with each letter being a different color. The list goes on. I love the dots at the bottom, love the picture the used, love the periwinkle on the side, love it all. Take a peek and it will be on your favorites just so you can look at the layout!

Curtain rods

We are working on my baby sister's nursery and recently got her curtains from PB Kids. We found these really cute curtain rods. go to www.pbkids.com to see their selections. www.pbteen.com and www.potterybarn.com also have great curtains for teens and adults.

Who said 13 is to old to trick or treat?

I hope everyone had a good (and safe) Halloween. It seems like when I was younger, Halloween was a much anticiated event. Now it is really...nothing... I hate to say that, but it just isn't the same. I miss those old days! Still was a fun day though... We had a little culdesac Halloween party and then Elizabeth, Emily, Sadie, Meredith, and I went trick or treating. Later, Cory (from pic one) met up with us.

just went on a few blogs *you know who you are* and am laughing (in a nice way) because you all have the same template with fabric swatches. I really would like to know how to do that.
