Author Archives: admin Okay…I just have to say this is what the center of my handprint looks like from our most recent craft! What do you think? Is it a stretch??? Or do you see it too??? And since Ethiopia is located in the horn of Africa…of course this is what I made out the blank spot on […] definitely AFRICA 🙂 I so see it 🙂 Rmember my snow cone “africa”..it happened when we passed court…God has a sense of humor 🙂 kj I think it looks like the horn of Africa!!! I too am really looking forward to HH moving and I really hope referrals start moving again soon! I think the wait would be much easier if things were at least moving some! We’ve picked out a name, but we want to wait and hear his name before officially deciding on a name. I see it! I soooo understand! I was biting a chip recently and when I looked at it, all I saw was the shape of India!!! lol:-) Thank you girls for validating my perception there! Yes, Kristi…I LOVED your snow cone Africa story! Oh Jennifer…I would have loved to see your India chip:) I am so sad that I didn’t take a picture!!! I saw it, thought, “I’m nuts”, put it in my mouth and ate it. Took another bite…that one looked nothing like India, and realized I really missed a photo op, cuz it was India my friends…ya’ all Southern gals get it! So glad to know that I am not alone:-) I am with you it definitely looks like Africa! I too am very excited to see the movement that 2010 will bring.  Ahhhh…the unveiling of my newest and (to-date so far!) my most favorite family craft yet! But before I share—a bit of history. Richard’s family lives in Columbia, TN which we love going often to visit, relax and let the kids run free (much different than living in the city). Columbia is a special place to […] Love the craft! We have a pooh bear poster that Abigail received as a gift. Of course now she is getting almost too tall for it!!! I totally see the heart in the hand print! And I love that plaque too- very cute! Merry Christmas 🙂 I think you are amazing …wonderful and filled with the spirit ! I have an idea for the growth chart..a small pic ..mod podged next to measurement…it will be forever a charm…and ever changing ! May Christ be with you . sooooo cute…LOVE this idea…totally am going to steal it 🙂 kj OK…I was thinking my palm looked like the horn of Africa…just the top part right where Ethiopia is!!! You have to look again?! Ok, do you see it?! Or…am I looking to hard;) i LOVE this idea! thanks for sharing…and letting us steal it! thanks for letting us steal this idea:) me and the boys are working on it now!! VERY excited about the final product!!! Andrea–a friend of mine here who i introduced to your blog (who is waiting on their little girl from Ethiopia right now), saw this and copied it. She told me about it and i can copying it too! It is perfect for people like us who know we will not live in this apartment forever. We actually used 2 smaller boards and put a hinge on them so that when we move we can fold it in half and take it with us. I can’t wait to share it with other pengyous here…i may start doing them for baby shower gift or housewarming gifts for friends. Thanks for sharing your crafts and your heart! […] last night…the night before school started. (Some of you may remember when we started the tradition here on Christmas! SO…I guess we now measure everyone on Christmas day and on the first day of school;). It was […]  As I sit in my home this Christmas Day enjoying the sound of my children running around celebrating their new toys, time with family and full bellies, I want to remember our widows and orphans in Zambia…as well as all the orphans and widows of the world. How can we live differently in 2010 with […] Mommying is my job. Yes–I’m a photographer…but my first job is and always has been–MOM. This past year, having a 3rd baby in our family, I really began to feel my 2nd job (photographer) start to creep into how I did my first job (mommy)…so it was time to close down job #2 (photographer) for […] Love it!!!! Sounds great, and you are sooo right on 🙂 |
