As a designer/artist I love these artsy numbers and I can't wait for them to continue downward! That is SO crazy to think in a little over 2 weeks you'll be half way around the world receiving such a blessing! Here's something to fill your time (if you need a diversion.) Did you want to wait until your return for me to send a square for the quilt? I think Tanya at acornsandcherryblossoms.blogspot.com might be posting about her quilt progress this week and the wishes she's received and so it's on my mind right now.
Happy Countdown-ing!
YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! That is just around the corner! Soon you can start counting sleeps until Ashlyn is cuddled next to you!

Wow...each day that I see a new number, I get goosebumps for you, knowing that your daughter will soon be in your arms! What a wonderful feeling that will be to have her snuggled up next to you...finally! :)
Blessings and Hugs!! <><
