DTC!!!!
Today we are officially DTC (Dossier To China)! This means that the packet of paperwork and documents we have been collecting for the last 4 1/2 months is finally on the way to China! Now we wait for LID (Log In Date) which should take about three weeks. Once we are logged in, we will wait for a referral for our daughter!!!

My first sewing project
I'm so excited about my very first sewing project....Ruffle Pants!!
I have always wanted to learn to sew and now that we will finally have a little girl I thought this would be the perfect time to learn. I was able to make these with the help of a friend who is a pro at making little girls clothes. I may get brave and try to make another pair on my own as my next project, but I definately want to make a cute top to go with these (with her help). Since we don't have a referral for our daughter yet we don't really know what size she will be, so I just made these in a 2T and I hope she will get to wear them!

Puzzle Fundraiser
I saw this fundraiser idea on several other adoption blogs and I knew I wanted to do a puzzle fundraiser at some point during our adoption. I finally found a design that was very close to what I had in mind and we were able to customize the design and have it printed onto a 252 piece puzzle.
For $10 you can sponsor a piece of the puzzle and we will write your name on the back. You can sponsor one piece and have your family name on the back of a piece or you can sponsor a piece for each family member. We will asseble the puzzle as we receive sponsors and once it is complete we will frame it in a double sided glass frame to hang in our daughter's room.
This will give us a beautiful decoration for our daughter's room, and we will be able to show her one day how so many others helped bring her home. I can't wait to read all of those names to her!
To sponsor a piece:
~ You can give your donation to me in person.
~ Mail a donation (Please send me a private message on facebook for mailing address)
~ Send money through paypal to jpannell76@gmail.com (To reduce fees, please choose "Personal" and "Gift"
Don't forget to let me know what name you would like on the back of each piece sponsored.
