More ladybugs, stars, and a special wish

This special wish came from Theresa & John Alosio, dear friends of my Dad and stepmom, Linda. The wish was so beautiful, I just had to share it with all of you:








Brand New Daughter

She's your brand new little daughter,
so enchanted, sweet and smart.
With a coo, she'll have you smiling
With a laugh, she'll own your heart.

It's the time for hugs and kisses,
Reassurance when she cries.
It's the time for making moments
Full of love and lullabies.

For these golden days of childhood
come and go so very fast-
Hold her tight and love her dearly.
Make these precious moments last.

by Linda Lee Elrod

Reading Wishes

There is a feeling so special that comes over me as I read each individual wish. It is just amazing to be a part of something that is so much bigger than you. Its not just us, our future child, our family , and immediate friends but this whole community of families that are right slongside you, sharing your hopes, your dreams, your wishes and as always when you find a few...well you just have to share

Tonight as I was going thru my wishes as I always do. I think about each wish and what I hope for our child. Well one wish just caught me and I thought I'd like to share that one. As I am posting, I checked to see where the quote came from so I could give proper credit to the author. Well what a surprise. The wish was from the author! Why did it hit me so in the heart? I ordered the hardcover book!!! What a coincidence. The book is " A Quilt of Wishes" by Theresa Werner

A Quilt of Wishes

It looks so much better on her website.

I also received a square and wish from another author Kay Graap. They are both part of this huge adoptive community that I have become a part of. And I thought I lived in a small world:)

Special Wish

A special thank you to Jean & her family for the beautiful square, wish, & heartfelt note. The fabric was so beautiful I didn't want to take it out of its protective packaging!
