Category Archives: Crafts We received out new waitlist number last week in perfect timing (from 28 to 26). I had been discouraged earlier in the week realizing that I was standing in a line—what felt like a long line—while there were and are approximately 145,000,000 orphans in the world. To me, the line waiting didn’t (and doesn’t) always […]  We celebrated Laney Loo’s 4th birthday Friday night. Laney wanted an Ariel party so we planned to watch the movie and have a pj party. Four days before the party while picking up a cookie cake at the Publix bakery for her preschool party she spotted THE Barbie cake…you know the one;). She did not […] You are such a crafty mom.

Yay! Steal away Emily!!! Isn't that the MOST fun! We bought numbers to go on the stairs of our basement too. So fun. I love hearing little voices count the numbers as they go up:). So sweet! Those are 4" in height. Just FYI as you scout out the etsy number sellers. I may go find the girl I bought from and I can send ya the link if you need it!
love the steps!
For starters…you can get an AMEN. God doesn't show up a day late. He is more concerned about timing than TIME. His timing is perfect. Your child isn't ready yet and so the wait on the list is until the child He has chosen for your family is ready.
And…I think I may just need those numbers. I LOVE THEM. Cute !!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you ready your e-mail??? I can't wait to hear what beautiful words pour forth….we could just use the above post!!!! LOVE it and LOVE the numbers!!!!
Oh man… you make me want stairs now!! those numbers are just the CUTEST things ever!
