Please, if you gave a square toward's Shaling Bai Jia Bei (100 Good Wishes Quilt), but have not yet gotten me your Good Wishes card for her scrapbook, get it to me A.S.A.P.
I'm starting to put the book together now and would like to have it finished before we travel in December. I don't want to work on it once we get her home.
My plan is to present the quilt and the scrapbook to her at an "adoption shower" that we're hoping to have sometime after we get her home. This will allow our family and friends a great opportunity to get to meet her.
If you don't remember the information about how to do your Good Wishes card, here it is:

Write a "good wish note" on any size of index card (or construction paper) and attach a scrap piece of the fabric you provided for the quilt. The wish can be your own words or thoughts, a favorite poem or quote, a blessing for Shaling, a prayer, a favorite verse, or anything else you would like her to know. Keep in mind that she will read your note numerous times during her life. If you feel creative and want to decorate it, that would be great too. It can be as simple or elaborate as you like. If you would like, you can also include a picture of yourself so she can see who sent the wish.
This blog began as a place to share Shaling's journey from rice in China to popcorn in Illinois. However, it has evolved to include all sorts of happenings in the Reynolds family.
