HELP ME SPONSOR A RESCUED MOONBEAR!
REMINDER THE DEADLINE FOR ALL DONATIONS TO BE RECEIVED IS JANUARY 26, 2009
WHICH ENDS UP ON CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!! ONLY 25 SPONSORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE!!
CLICK THE MOONBEAR GRAPHIC TO ACCESS THE QUILT SQUARES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Building a close-knit community around a quilt has been an age-old custom in many countries. I am looking forward to the same concept applying to Mission Moonbear as well. Albeit the quilt is not fabric, it will end up being a stunning and affordable poster that anyone can purchase after all the squares are purchased and I assemble the final graphic.
ANY QUESTIONS……PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO EMAIL ME.
Thank you, my dear friends, for working with me on helping our little moonbear!!!

YIPPIE!!! I finished all 4 cub journal pages today. From here on in I will be able to update the cub’s progress and photos on each of their personal pages. Please let me know if you find images of any of the cubs or stories and I will add them to the pages.
The wonderful images we have so far don’t come to us easily. It takes some real detective work on the part of our panda loving friends and China news sources as well as a lot of snooping around on the internet and Flickr to see who has been to the panda breeding centers with their cameras to gather all these pix
Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos and videos so far of our babies. They make the entire adoptions all the more special to see our panda cubs growing up before our eyes.
On my 2009 trip scheduled back to China, I will take all sorts of pix of our cubs to add as well as the stories that inevitably will go with them!! Future shared adoptions and sponsorships through PROJECT PANDA will have their own pages as well

SMILE BY LEO UU @ FLICKR
There is an absolute wealth of stunning photos on Flickr where I store my own images. Part of the fun as a blogger is being able to post directly from Flicker some of my favorite photo sets. Members give blogging permissions in their Flickr preferences and all the pix link back to their photostreams automatically.
I was introduced to Leo uu’s photos recently through one of our wonderful Adoption Tribe members Chet Chin. Metal and Wood tribe twins and forwarded me the link.
I started looking further and noticed the familiar grounds of the Chengdu Panda Base in one of the sets. After writing to Leo uu we deducted that the photo you see above could very well be my adopted baby BaoShi. The excessively squeezable and chubby cheeks make it pretty likely as Leo uu says “This baby looks like MeiLan, i think she is XiangBing.”. (XiangBing was Bao Shi’s birth name…Mei Lan and she are closely related)
Whether this is BaoShi or not…the cute factor in this photo set is over the top!! What a thrill to see so many of the young pandas from my February trip again!!! Thank you Leo uu for the memories!
If you find the time I”m sure Leo uu would LOVE if you commented on the pix!!! I will be featuring many many wonderful photographers and pandarazzi’s work here over the coming months..Stay tuned!!
BELOW. THANK YOU LEO UU FOR POINTING OUT THESE 2 WONDERFUL IMAGES ON BAO SHI IN YOUR SET!
