I Found My Missing Piece - Adoption Party!

Please join us to celebrate Ashley's "foster to adopt" of little miss Jacklynn!
It's going to be very casual so come comfy! All parenting advice is welcome lol
Jacklynn (she likes to go by Jacky) is 11 years old and in the 5th grade. Her favorite color is blue and she loves to sing. She adores all creatures small and fluffy and is inspired by Harley Quinn's fun fashion sense. She is into fashion, gymnastics, dancing, riding bikes, swimming, reading, makeup, nails, and baking the perfect cake.
Jacky is arriving with a backpack and one small tote of personal belongings. She has had a very rough start to life, so I want to make sure she has all the things she may have missed out on while growing up so far. I will be fostering her to start (State of Colorado rules), and then after 6 months-ish of fostering, I will be allowed to legally adopt her. Because she is still in the foster system, I am not allowed to share photos of her online, but I can share her pictures at the party!
I have put an Amazon registry together for her with things I think 11 year old girls would like. Feel free to add to this list based on your own experience with what kiddos her age like! I'm still learning and had some help putting the list together from little girlies already in my life :)
I don't have her clothing sizes yet, so I plan on taking her shopping for clothes when she arrives. Maybe a fun girly hair, nails, and spa day! So the items on the list are mainly fun things for her to play with, accessories, and stuff she'll need in general for life and school.
So far I've gotten her some cute jewelry and hair accessories from Claires, all her new bedding, bedroom and bathroom decor, and a new desk for homework. So her room is starting to look a lot more kid friendly :)
Andria is coming up with a fun way for everyone who comes to leave her a note welcoming her into our very large friend group so she feels like she finally belongs somewhere after spending years in the foster system <3 I'll put it in her room for her when she gets here!
