Korean flag ornaments ... For Sale!!

Each ornament is made and painted by hand. Each one has the year "2011" on the back and they also come in their own special Christmas envelope! So you can unwrap your special ornament when it arrives and also store it till next year!  Even though these ornaments are made out of clay, they are very durable. This little guy has proven that over and over.

The ornaments are not fragile.  They're very light and great for households with little ones that help to decorate the Christmas tree or rearrange your ornaments when you're not looking!  Check out the pics.


The felt envelopes are red or green.

If you'd like to purchase one, they are $12, shipping and handling included.  Email me at mikeleahtn@comcast.net  with how many you would like, your name, address, and email address. I will send you an emailed invoice through PayPal. If you'd like to purchase more than one, the price for each will be reduced.

I hope you enjoy your ornaments as much as I have!  Every time I look at them, I'm reminded of my little Aiden's birth place and all the other little cuties who have their forever family! The Korean flag has so many meanings with each aspect shown on it. Click here to find out what each part means.  I have a love for this country that some will not understand. But for those who do, here's one special reminder!  Thanks for the love! :)

Finalization is near ....

Got that ever loving call from our lawyer yesterday. We have a court date to finalize Aiden's adoption!!!!  December 12th never looked so good to me!!!!  I can't wait!! Soon, Yeong Min Gim will be Aiden Lee Lemmons!!  He's always been Aiden to us, and when he's getting into trouble sometimes "Aiden Lee!!" But soon he will be known as Aiden Lee Lemmons legally to our insurance company, his doctor office, and the government - God help them! So I'm super stoked about this upcoming event!

He is a very special boy who has changed my life forever and for the better! He's brought so much meaning into my life, I can't really explain it all.  The experience of going through his adoption has really opened my eyes and my heart! 4 years ago, I never dreamed  how much this would change my life.  I have to admit it was a little scary at times, very uncertain others, and the wait  was excruciating.  But, he's here, been home with us almost 9 months!

God has a way of putting a hand on everything. He certainly had his hand on my heart and helped me see this little boy.  Sometimes I just stare at Aiden while he's playing. He'll catch me looking at him and I'll smile.  He'll smile the biggest, cutest smile back at me and keep playing.  I adore this child so much.  For what he's had to go through to find his forever family is truly amazing to me. He has opened his heart and let us be his family, for that, I am truly thankful!

Dying to do this ...

I've been dying to blog lately, there's so much to show and say, but I've been really busy on a little, okay, BIG project.  I'm trying to get it done before Thanksgiving and I'm really not sure if I can finish it all by then. So, the blogging will have to wait, darn it! I've got all kinds of things to be blogging about, but with this project hanging, I've got to spend every spare minute a day on it.  Which to be honest, isn't much.  Aiden usually takes a nap between 1ish to 3ish. I have to pick Tay up at school at 3. So as Aiden's napping and waiting till the last possible minute until time to pick her up, I work like crazy to get as much done as I can.  The kids are tucked away in bed by 9pm, Aiden by 8:30 and Tay at least by 9, and man is that hard to do sometimes, this girl moves like a snail sometimes! So that leaves from 9pm to 10ish to work a little more.  Not a lot of time see? I guess once I finish this BIG project I'll blog about it too.

So last year at this time was kind of rough. The holidays were right around the corner, no Emigration Permit for Aiden in 2010.  So check it out, here is where I turned a corner and got creative last year.  That creative bug has bit me again.  Stay turned .... more to come ... later! :)
