I feel so blessed to have become good friends with Lori. We connected on.....drum roll please......Facebook! lol Doesn't everyone???? Clearly our connection was adoption and I could also see that she would be a sister in Christ for me. As time went on, I realized that when Lori got in touch with me, whether by FB, email or texting me, that the friendship was real. When she said she was praying for me, I knew I could believe her. When she would encourage me during our wait for Olivia, I knew she sincerely meant it. When she comes to me and asks ME to pray for her, I know she believes that I will do the same. I never have to worry about missing a Matilda Jane Platinum upload, because she always gives me the heads up! lol Now, what came about after a month or so of getting to know each other was Lori's love for sewing and creating. She knew already at this point that I loved MJ and many of the MJ styles. She told me to look at her pictures of the creations she had made for her daughter Katie. Well, it was right up my alley. I loved them. The next surprise came when she sent me an email and told me that she wanted to make Sophia and Olivia matching outfits for our adoption journey to Livi. I was so thrilled. It was a gesture that I know only comes from the heart. Since then, Lori has made the girls several matching dresses with the peasant dress pattern that I adore so much. Currently she is working on some peasants tops for the girls too. So, if you have a princess that loves to dress up everyday like I do, you might want to get in touch with Lori for a few princess items.
Below are a few items we have
hanging in our closets. ;)
Thank you Lori, from the bottom of my heart for making these beautiful creations for my girls. But most of all, thank you for being my friend. I look forward to meeting you soon and having our girls play together in their Lori Borah originals! ;) xoxo

Those are BEAUTIFUL outfits!! I always see y'alls names on the MJC Facebook page!! What a blessing!! We are waiting on our little girl from China as well!! We logged in, in June of 2009. Excited for you and your fmaily as you welcome another daughter! blessings...
Her dresses are just beautiful!
What a shout out! LOVE HER & MISS her so much. And you are so right about her. She has a heart of gold. I wish Mandy would hurry up & get her on ETSY - she needs to sell professionally - she'd make a killing. I love the 2 dresses she's made for Hannah Grace - they are priceless to me. I need to call her about some matching things for my girls this fall - oh how fun. Are you packed yet? Take care girl - it won't be long now.
Blessings,
Charity
