No LOI Yet

Apparently, school started in Pavlodar today and so the Director of Ed. was not in her office to sign our letter of invitation. At this point, we expect to NOT hear anything so we are pleasantly surprised if we do. It goes without saying that we are ready to be back with Ava and ready for the beginning of the end of this journey. We will update when we get an LOI and estimated departure date. We REALLY REALLY miss our girl.
Here's what we've been up to:

We attended a good friend's wedding which was at an awesome venue! There were Zebra's and White Tigers there (not too close to the ceremony though).


Here are a few new things I've done with some of the orders I've received.

- I did a few Elephants in very "baby" fabrics. There are little jingle bells inside so they are like little rattles.

- I made some PJ Bags out of Red and Black Fabrics so they resemble actual Lady Bugs a little bit more.

- I am making Bed Bugs for my Mom's Second/Third grade students. She is going to use them to encourge her kids to read before they go to bed at night...Read to your Bed Bug! Hawaii is the theme of her classroom so these are the girls Hawaiin themed Bugs.

Kari you are coming up with great ideas ~ those baby elephants with jingle bells are adorable and the red PJ ladybugs are great! Keep up the great work, it will be fun to watch and see what your next idea will be.
Love, Mom
