Finished! I was putting together a rather large frame for my youngest daughter for Christmas. I have scrapped 9 photos into the frame. The photos have Bek, Shrimpy, Jimmy, Nat Eric & myself in them. It has taken me a couple of weeks to do this project because every single time I sat down to do it I would end up in tears. It is something that I have poured my heart into & I wanted to make it a special keepsake for Jessica as she grows. Also it was made so she never forgets just who is in her family as she lives her life with my ex husband & his family. I have written a letter on the back of the frame so that it is never lost. I am going to get the kids to write a letter for her on there as well so that she has a little something of each of us with her. The other reason I wrote the letter ON the frame is so that I know she will get it, nobody can throw it away on her. I don't think someone would throw it away but I really do not want to take the chance that she will never know how I felt when I did her frame. I am putting together another frame that will have photos of my parents and other photos of all of us in it for her, reminders that we love her & she is always in our hearts...well I hope that is how she will look at it.
In other great news -- USCIS have received our petition, they have cashed the check and we have our online NOA1 (Notice Of Action 1)...so now we wait. The estimate is it will be approved around the beginning of March...that will be here before we know it and it looks like we will fly out of Australia around the end of April early May...time can not pass fast enough for Eric & I to be back in one anothers arms where we belong. We have done some more shopping for the house via webcam as well as watching Eric start to get rooms ready. Bek's furniture arrived for her bedroom on Tuesday (Wednesday our time) and it is all set up & ready to go, so now she won't be sleeping on the floor LOL.
Shrimpy graduates from Year 10 on Monday...I can not believe that time has flown by so quickly. I will post a couple of pics after the event.
Not much else has been happening, life is merely days blending together but from now there are little steps to mark off the calendar while we wait....and those that do know me at all ...we all know I am far from patient...so this waiting game is driving me nuts LOL.
Scrappy Hugs

There's a saying that good things come to those who wait! And patience is a virtue. I on the other hand would have a hard time being patient and waiting that long! LOL
Just keep the goal in mind and the time will go faster.
I am sure the frames will be a great gift for her.
