Baby Hat Drive for children in China...

a little plug about my BABY/KID HAT DRIVE

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China and I left a little piece of my heart there.  I'm collecting hats to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat 

(you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one if you must)

2. Send to:

3. I need them in my hot little hands BY Oct 31, 2010.

4. I'll take care of shipping them to CHINA this fall.

any questions- please feel free to email me!!

❉ ❉BABY HAT DRIVE ❉ ❉

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China

 and I left a little piece of my ❤heart❤ there.  There are so many wonderful children that will live their entire lives in orphanages (well, until they are teens and no longer available for adoption or care...).  I'm collecting hats to send to an orphanage in China to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat ➺you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one (or more) if you must

2. email me at: chinamommy_04@yahoo.com for my address.

3. I'll take care of shipping them to CHINA next fall.  I must have them in my hands NO later than Oct 31, 2010!!

Mother's Day Weekend...

I was out runnin' yesterday, not as in exercising but as in having coffee with friends.  

But here's my Mother's Day Weekend (I don't believe in limiting MD to just 1 day!) re-cap:

1. Friday- Went out to eat

2. Saturday- Got a dozen roses in orange and coral! 

They looked better Saturday (although I love them when they open up), but I didn't grab a picture till 10 min. ago!

The Mister knows better than to get red.  I was a florist for years and next to carnations, Red roses are the flowers I like the LEAST!  EVERYONE wanted a red rose that was tightly closed (they're called a bullet rose people- they're never going to open and they're ugly!) and baby's breath.  The super cheap guys, you know the ones that buy those pants out of the Sunday paper 2 for $35, get a dozen carnations (in mixed colors).  I admit a carnation smells good and they really are pretty, but if a guy buys you carnations- RUN, he's cheap!

3. Went to see How to Train your Dragon in 3D with Darling while the Mister worked on my new counter-tops!

4. bought Mother's Day gifts (and one for myself that I can't show because I haven't sent my Mom's to her yet and mine is kinda sorta almost the same) 

5. went out to eat again

6. Sunday-Opened presents

(I'd show you the candy, but I hid it cause i don't want to share)

7. went to Church

8. went out to brunch (ate a disgustingly UN-healthy meal...)

9.  went to my In-laws

10. took a nap

All in all a great weekend but did I take pictures of my ONLY child with myself ON Mother's Day, NOPE!

I spent yesterday being a social butterfly... I'll share tomorrow!

Hope you had a great weekend!!

OH...before I forget- IF you knit or crochet and want to help a Chinese baby stay warm this next winter, I'm going to do a baby hat drive... 

I'll have more information tomorrow, but in the meantime, feel free to email me for more information!
