Hats to China update...

i just remembered i forgot to post these pictures... back in october i sent allllllllll the hats you sweeties sent for some little kiddo's in china.  i included a note and a camera, crossed my fingers and hoped we'd get some pictures.  christmas came and went and no pictures... and then a couple months ago i got a package in the mail, it was the camera!  i rushed the pictures to the store to get them developed because apparently it's still 1991 over here!  seriously, how long has it been since you've developed pictures at a store?  anyway, i got the pictures back and to be honest, they really weren't that great.  :(  i'm so glad they sent some, but the orphanage we sent to the previous year spoiled us by taking a ton of photo's with lots and lots of little kids.  the hats are for the kids though, so i'm just glad the package arrived and that their little melons are being kept warm!  

so, here are the pictures i did receive:

awwww!!!  

thanks to everyone that sent hats AND donated $$.  the donation this year cost just over $85 to ship to china!  WOW!!  i'll take hats and donations anytime (see the tab at the top of the blog) but i start the official collection in late summer....

5 things i love, 5 things i hate

as you read this, i'm on a party bus to chicago for a girl's weekend of shoes, shopping, shows, cocktails, chit-chat, and other girly fun!!  since i'm writing this thursday night and the mister is concerned that i still am not packed.... i'm gonna go fast!

i love:

1. victoria's secret lipstick, $13, great colors

2. avocado's

3. these 2 (who should be in slot #1, but i've gotta pack!!)

4. it's been said before, but my love is deep and true, so let's say it again

WHITE RANGE ROVERS (yes, i yelled that!)

5. the children of China...i love these kids!!!

now the 5 things i can't stand:

1. red velvet cake... i don't get it.  isn't it just cake with a crap load of red food coloring?

2. dogs, don't be offended, i don't like mine either!

3. dancing, can't do it, won't do it (sober).

4. people who don't live and let live. we don't all agree, it's ok!

5. this outfit

i know it's awesome, but just not my thing... but, if you are interested email me, the pattern is available FREE on ravelry! 

ok, i'm off like a prom dress!

have a fabulous weekend and don't forget to check out the tab above for the hat drive. if you'd rather donate dough, hit the donate button on the top left... the one that says "donate" (i try to keep it easy).
