getting ready!
I’m starting to pack everything up!
Here is a current count of all the “loot” I have received so far…
Linus Blankets- 91
Wooden Dolls- 24
Barrettes- 106
Cuffs/Bracelets- 90
“Softies”- 58
Pencil Rolls- 54
Total 423
As you can see, my goal has been met over and beyond. And I still have more packages coming!
I’m not sure if I mentioned that my Mom and Dad will be meeting my sister (and her two boys) in Tokyo. They will then travel together to China and visit 6 different orphanages. I’m really glad that between the 5 of them they can carry a total of 10 suitcases! We have vacuumn-packed 91 linus blankets into a neat 5 inch high bundle!
My sister will be traveling to Chicago with her sons and daughter Jane. We will then do some more packing and hopefully Susan can post a bit of her trip’s itinerary. After she leaves we will have Jane (Lulu) for 2 weeks. Penelope is so excited to have her- I am wondering when the “love” will wear out…1 hour, 5 days, never?!?
Okay, better get back to finishing my 75 drawstring bags!
