Fortune Cookie giveaway

I am aiming this post towards all my FCC friends, but anyone who loves fortune cookies should head on over!

Treasured Giveaways has the honor of giving away 100 fortune cookies from Fancy Fortune Cookies.

Wouldn't it be so fun to have custom fortune cookies for Chinese New Year or your child's Gotcha Day? I am hoping to win in celebration of Kaylee's upcoming Gotcha Day.

So head on over and join the contest!

Please Pray...and Call

I cannot imagine what this family is going thru...

They went to China to adopt their child. They get there and find out that she has tested positive for TB. The CDC adopted a new law on July 1, 2009 that will not allow her to come to America until she tests positive. So, they have had to leave her in China and return to their other child, home and jobs.

Please read their story and make the appropriate calls.

I cannot imagine having to leave your child there once you have gone and bonded...heartbreaking!

New Clothes

Kaylee is on her last dress that we picked up while in China. I remember shopping and buying 'bigger sizes' thinking she would never fit in them. Well, now, 2 1/2 years later, we are in the last one that fits.

I have been looking around at various Chinese festivals for more authentic dresses for her. Goodness! Those outfits that cost me $8-$10 in China cost me $30-$35 in the states. I just can't bring myself to pay that.

Well, I have a sweet friend who is spending some time in China. I Facebooked her about 3 months ago and asked her if she would shop for me. I gave her a dollar limit and told her she could pick out whatever styles she liked. I asked her to choose all different sizes. She thought this was a great idea! So, for the last few months, when she would find an outfit that she liked for my girl, she would pick it up.

Her parents spent a few weeks with her in China and she sent the outfits home with them.

It was like Christmas! Take a look at Kaylee's haul!!



All the precious outfits! I can't wait to see her in them as she grows!

LOVE the sweet little pants on this one.

Precious sleeveless dress.

This one is like none I've ever seen. Full circle skirt, cotton (not silk). It is so sweet!

Check out the fur and matching purse! I hope it gets cold enough in SA to wear this one.

Thanks, Lesli for sending us such great treasures!
