8 more LID's To Go!!

Here's the latest. Referrals have arrived for anyone with an LID up to March 6, 2006. That's only 8 LIDs and we will be included. Referrals have been arriving around the first of the month so if that keeps up, the next group will be April 1. My best guess is that there is one or two more groups to go before they get to us. (There are some crazy good rumors out there that suggests it could be sooner but I'm not counting on it.) Since everything slowed down the day we started our paperwork (or so it seems) I'm sure things will speed up once we get our referral!!!

There has been a flurry of activity around here trying to attack that To Do list that we dusted off in January. Mom and Dad came out for a week in January and helped us get LuLu's room ready. Mom sewed her fingers to the bone and Dad painted his heart out. Jon and I both are very appreciative for all the help!!! Mostly for helping us get off our you know what and start. Can't really goof off when the parental units are here to help, can ya?

Mom sewed bumper pads, blanket, valance and a pilllow. Here a picture of Mom agonizing over getting perfect corners on the blanket. She is so talented. I love the blanket and love it even more because Mom made it.

All the furniture that we are using in LuLu's room are things that we already had. Amazing what a coat of paint can do. This was my Grandfather's. We painted it and gave it a distressed finish. Where the memo board is, there used to be a mirror. I made the memo board with a burst of craftiness that doesn't come around very often.

I still need to get new hardware for it but it's coming right along. I love the mirror on the top left. When I was little, I can remember going into my Grandfather's room and trying to see myself in that mirror. I could tell if I had gotten any taller by how far I had to jump to see myself.
