What I did with....





I have had several requests to see pics of what I did with the two outfits Taryn had in China. One of the outfits (obviously the dressier of the two) was her red couch outfit. And the other was the outfit she had on when given to us on Gotcha Day. I have to say that the latter one means so much more to me than the first. All three of the babies in our group from this particular orphanage had the same outfit on (over several other layers of clothes!) and I will always get all "mushy" feeling when I see it! So, I have brought them out into the open so to speak, and put them in Shadow Boxes. I attached them with hidden pearl pins, and I think they look pretty darn good if I do say so myself! Taryn's room holds the Red Couch dress because it matches her room perfectly. And, my "special" Gotcha Day outfit I put in my craft room where I scrapbook and exercises. I get to look at it every day! Hope you get some ideas to use for your special outfits...don't just keep them tucked away! Get them out to share!

Taryn's "Latest" Skill...Stair Climbing....Greeeeaaaaatttt!


I felt obligated to come back and give a quick update on Princess T and her "tongue" issue. It is healing rather nicely. There is still some gross scar tissue left...I will spare everyone a picture! But, it is as if it never happened! She IS more cautious when trying to walk and the coffee tables have been removed from the premises for now! But, she is doing better! Thank you to everyone for there kind words and for all of the Mommy's who "worried" with me! I am including "happier" pics this time!
