<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">10 months ago we traveled to Taiyuan, China to bring our son home....that face. He was 5 at the time. He has kept me busy these 10 months and the mini making, well, it had to take a huge backseat. I have been slowly making time to check out a lot of your blogs and see what you are all up to! (Looking great by the way) To say it has been an easy year, would just be a lie! In the middle of our adoption of this little guy, I lost my best friend and sister and we decided to parent her son also...so we brought our 5 year old from China home to a new brother of 16....we are a family of 9 now, a tribe...lol For the last year we have just been trying to find our 'new normal."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Part of that "new normal" is me sending two kids to school and only homeschooling two, tutoring Orton Gillingham at night and a decision to 'clean' up our home from any toxins in the things we use in our home and on our bodies.....cleaning products, perfumes, make-up...etc (download the free Think Dirty App and you can scan all of you products!) I have lost my grandmother, mother and sister to breast cancer, we are trying to clear out things that may be contributing to the cancer. I had no idea that when I decided to buy a bottle of cleaner it would change my life in so many areas! I bought Thieves Cleaner and used it once and was sold! The cleaner led to other products, oils etc. and that led to my new business! So here is an example of what I have been using my minis for lately!</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;">We signed up to host this little one and try to find him a family. He was assigned by China to the program, they pick resilient kids who they feel may have (or are having) a hard time getting adopted.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"> They stay for about 20 days and hopefully in that time a family can be found.....the child still has to return to China while the adoption process takes place. </span></span></div>

It was easy and fun to make!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">There
has been no mini making going on here for quite a while! My real life has been focused on real life
issues...like finishing up schooling my kids for the year, getting my house in
order (because I don't have time when school is in), moving my son to his first
apartment, choosing curriculum for next years school, and lastly, working on an
adoption of a child from China...whew, when I write it all down I see why I
have had no time! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">In
James the Bible talks about "pure" religion-27" Religion that
God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and
widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. “
I don't want to be a religious person, I want to be a person after God's own
heart....we decided last November that God was calling us to walk out his love
for us by adopting a child who has no home.
Boy, has it been a wild ride!
Let's see, here are a few of the things that have happened and what we
have learned through the process...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
happened-we went to get our marriage certificate, and guess what? It had never been sent in, we were not
legally married for 25 years! (who else
does this happen to?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
we learned- a piece of paper has nothing to do with being married!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
happened-we signed on with an agency who did our home study (big, long deal)
and found out after the papers went to immigration that they were not qualified
to write one for China (again, who else
would this happen to?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
we learned- that it was a blessing this was found out in the United States and
NOT after we got to China!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
happened-the agency who wrote us the useless home study, won't give us our
money back<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
we learned-yes, we would like our money back, but this little girl is worth
millions!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
happened-people in this business are really not interested in kids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
we learned-God is really interested in kids! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
happened-our adoption has been dramatically slowed down by all of the above<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
we learned-what we see as delays are not delays...they are God's timing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">*What
we know-God is good, God is faithful, God knows, God had it planned since
before one of our days came to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">So
this is what I have been doing. We
continue to ask God to write this story of our lives...and we know it will be
an awesome story, a page turning, can't wait to see how it all ends kind of
story....but most of all it will be a love story, the story of God and his
plans for our little family in little Iowa and the story of a little girl all
the way across the ocean.....can’t wait to see how this story goes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script","sans-serif";">(and
by the way, if you have read this whole thing, thanks! I have not made minis but we have made a “big
mini” for the playhouse…I will post that next!) Mini Blessings, I hope you look around
today and see God’s signature on the story He is writing, the story of your
life!

We have been working on a different kind of "mini" at our house and it has left me no time for clay minis! We are working on adopting a little girl from China! We have been swamped with paper work but are about done and are in for a couple month wait until the next round! This is a little scene I made for an article I wrote for an issue of AIM magazine. So this will be a repeat for those of you who read the mag....sorry! I hope to have some time in the next couple of months to work on a few new creations! In the mean time, I hope you enjoy the chocolate table, you can't go wrong with a whole meal made from chocolate!<br />

Yeah! I am most usually a couple of days (okay or weeks...months?) after the holiday, which is why I very rarely have any holiday minis to sell! Sometimes it is not just the minis I am two steps behind on, sometimes it is my whole life, some weeks it feels like one big game of "catch up"! Oh well, it keeps life interesting....so anyway here are a couple of minis I finally finished BEFORE Easter!<br />
<br />
