Another leap forward...

Great news again! We have already jumped up a few more spots! We are already #5!! I must say that it is both exciting and overwhelming! It's great to know that we are getting a lot closer to our chance in the profile book, but for us, the flip side is we need to be ready! Eeeek! As I've mentioned before, the profile book consists of 4 pages with pictures and text regarding who we are. Because there is such limited space in the book, we have to be creative with keeping our writing condensed and the few pictures that we can fit on there must convey who we are. So, there is A LOT of pressure to pick the right photos and use the right wording. We need to stand out so that moms' want to pick us. We need to keep their attention and get ourselves into their top 3 choices. After they narrow their choices down, they will meet us...then choose the family that best suits them. It all seems so crazy when you think of everything that goes into this process!
Becoming #5 is a big deal. LSS will now email us every time we move up a spot. For us, it has become more real. The day will be here before we know it. LSS recommends making 17 copies. Every LSS site has a book, so the 4 pages will go to each site, plus extras for families that pick us. That's a lot of scrapbooking!!! When we looked at previous profiles for examples, many of them were printed copies of websites like Shutterfly. There was only 1 family that handmade their profile. But that one really stood out against the rest! Thankfully, we have some really awesome friends that have offered to help us create handmade profiles...Becky, Tracy, and the rest of the crew...THANK YOU!!! We are almost done and a huge weight is lifted off our shoulders!! I will try to post the pictures of the profile when it is completed!
We are getting there!!!
