Here's our care package so far:
Pictured are:
- camera 2-pack
- baby's family photo album (Nora's referral photo will go in the window on the front)
- labels for photos (they are ready, but not stuck in yet because we are missing photos of a couple of family members. You know who you are -- if we don't get photos, we'll draw you. You've been warned!)
- 2 bags of Jelly Bellys for the nannies or foster mom
- 4 small boxes of Frango chocolates, also for nannies or foster mom
- "taggie" blanket that I bought on Etsy (sooo cute!)
- fleece blanket that we got from one of our secret pals
- a bunny lovey
- two sleepers
- 4 pairs of baby socks
- rattle
- letter to orphanage director (not finished)
- baby questions book (ordered from Sharp books, but not here yet)
All of this stuff has to fit in a shoebox-sized box. I've had some trouble finding a box like that (I don't save shoeboxes and Pack and Mail didn't have the size I needed), so I haven't had a chance to do a test-pack yet and don't know how much of this won't fit. If there is a space problem, I'll pull out the fleece blanket and the "taggie" blanket.

Great job on the package!!
You will be glad to get it ready ahead of time!!
Hi Jennifer,
I just got a shoe box sized plastic container with lid from Target, and that worked fine. I think I just covered it with brown packaging paper and sent if off.
