Paperchase Blues Swap - First Five to Arrive!

Back at the beginning of this year - I was in a funk over how long our paperwork was taking. And being the people-person that I am - I was certain that I was not alone in feeling this way. So on the One Hundred Good Wishes Quilt Group I began a swap for folks to sign up who were having "Paperchase Blues." We swapped blue prints for our quilts. The swap had 19 people making 26 quilts! We swapped a lot of fabric and wishes! And it made going to the mailbox to look for long-lost paperwork MUCH more bearable! The squishes received are all below:

"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
--Shel Silverstein

Our wish for you is a lifetime filled with laughter, imagination and dreams realized.

Harmony

We can rejoice, too when we run into problems and trials for we know that they are good for us...they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. - Romans 5:3-4

Wishing you harmony, patience and love!

"Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west. - Isaiah 43:5"

"Have you eer felt a little hand
Grip around your finger?
Or kissed a cheek where the remains
Of a chocolate bar still linger?

Have you ever kissed a boo-boo
To make the pain "go-way?"
Or forgot about the dishes
Just to go our and play?

We are the lucky ones
To cherish these so dear,
So enjoy these little miracles,
That God's placed in our care."

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you say to this mountain,'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matt 17:20 (NIV)

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Phillipians 4:13

By faith, I stepped out into this process of adoption. Doors have opened by which I have created awesome friendships. Never let fear of the unknown stop you from achieving your dreams. Step outon faith. Trust in your creator, and the rest will fall into place. The road may not always be easy...but the end will be worth the struggles to get there.
