I have been lurking since Part 15 and finally decided to post.

I'm loving all of the outfits!! I'm in awe of all the talented people here! We're going to Disney World in December so I've been making a few simple dresses for my DD. My camera fell off my pantry shelf last week and the lens broke so I can't take pictures of the dresses yet...it's a dslr camera so my DH wasn't too happy with me after finding out how much it will cost to replace the lens! Once I get the lens replaced, I'll post pictures.
I'm also an adoptive mom. My DD is 3.5 years and my DS is almost 8 months. We're still waiting to finalize his adoption, because his birthdad is refusing to sign the paperwork. When my DD was born, some friends of mine threw me a shower, but only 2 people (besides the hostesses) showed up. No one bothered to give us a shower when DS arrived (we brought him home Christmas morning so that was enough of a gift for us!

). Our neighborhood arranges meals for families with newborns, but they didn't do it for us. And, I've had my fair share of negative comments from friends and family. It really stinks and I'm so sorry that others have had to face the negatives of adoption as well. For the most part, we've had a lot of support, but the negative comments/behavior tend to sting and aren't easily forgotten. I know that I am truly blessed to have my kids in my life!!!
When we go to Disney in Dec., I'll be celebrating my 2 year anniversary since having a kidney transplant. I'm trying to decide if I should create a t-shirt to share my celebration or just skip it (maybe a kidney shaped Mickey head LOL!).
