Surprise!
Some of you may remember, just a few days prior to the fire I did a post about a little quilted coat that was given to Elizabeth by someone anonymous. In that same post I mentioned that a friend of mine, Trina, had written to me to say that her 15 year old girl daughter, Alexis, wanted to do a free makeover on my blog, just because Alexis thought I was wonderful. (Her words not mine.) I was so touched and so excited!! Four days later we had the fire.
A couple of weeks ago Alexis wrote to me again asking if she couldn’t start the makeover?? WoooHoo!! It was a fun project to think about and work on together. Alexis was wonderful to work with. She happily worked with me and my many changes (cause it was hard for me to picture what I wanted, my brain is still not in full swing) and she didn’t mind at all. I talked to her on the phone a couple of times and she was so easy to work with, wanting me to be very happy with the makeover.
But this is the best part: The reason Alexis does makeovers? To be able to go on Missions Trips and to sponsor orphans!! (She has three younger siblings from China.) How amazingly cool is that? So if you are considering a makeover, I highly, highly, highly recommend Alexis. Her logo is at the bottom of my sidebar. While most 15 year olds don’t have anyone on their radar (except maybe themselves) it is so refreshing to find a young woman whose heart is for the orphan!! Please use her and tell her you saw what she did on mine and you want yours done too!!
And Alexis – a public THANK YOU!! You did an awesome job – I am just tickled pink with it and I pray that God showers His blessings on you as you do makeovers with the orphan in mind! You rock sweet girl – you rock!!!
beautiful indeed! Love the new look!
LOVE IT!
LINN!!! It is awesome!! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!

Linn,

Beautiful! Great job Alexis, may the Lord bless your endeavors, as you work to bless the orphans of the world.
Linny,
Catching up . . . Love the Thankful Thursday post, what joy to hear of so many more babies coming HOME!! Yippee Jesus for DTC for sweet Jubilee Promise! Yippee for Bill and Lynsay’s great report — I agree, c’mon yall, let’s get them some wheels!!
I also must add that I read the “pants post” a couple of days ago, and now keep thinking of Dw, and Elijah’s mermaid look . . . this has caused me random giggles in an otherwise “heavy duty week”. Thanks for sharing, and thanks Dw for allowing me a giggle on your behalf. My favorite line for DH when he use to dress kids (he finally gave up) was, “Have you EVER seen them where that together? Ever?” 🙂 Thank you Lord for great daddy’s!
Love you friend, as always thank you for sharing!
Blessings ~
