Remember a few posts go, I mentioned that I had a secret surprise to reveal? Well, last Tuesday, we became the proud new foster parents of a teen aged girl!
We reunified our two foster son's with their families last June and since then we've been childless, waiting for just the right placement. This is my very first daughter. I can't legally divulge any specific information about her or show you any pictures. I really wish I could, because she's beautiful inside and out. Remember the salt dough clay I made with "a friend"? Well, it was her. she stayed over at our house to see if she liked it and she loves it here! Praise The Lord! Now I have a crafting buddy, yay!
And now for the top ten!

Wow! Congrats on the foster daughter! I was in foster care before I got my forever family. I think it's wonderful that you're foster parents! I have often thought of becoming one. And I can't believe you featured my basket ladder. Thanks so much!
