So, as you can tell, I am horrible at updating my blog.

I will try to update more frequently...promise!

O.k...so the toy drive is over for the year.  It went GREAT!  Here are pictures from delivering the toys.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/48363516@N00/sets/72157600871495655/


The girls had a blast.  I brought my mom with also.

There is a group at crochetville, that is starting on toys for next year already!  I may have to rent a U-haul to deliver all the toys! LOL

Really though, it means alot to me that so many people donated toys.  The kids loved them. 

This is a project I will do yearly.  It is near and dear to my heart. 

As some know, my middle child is chronically ill.  She deals with a host of problems.  She takes 4-5 meds a day to avoid doctor, and hospital visits.  

On one of our hospital stays, (nearly 2 years ago)  she was the recipient of a few toys that were donated to the hospital.  It made a scary situation, a bit less scary.

We are now trying to do the same for others in the hospital.

Those of you who donated toys, I honestly cant thank you enough!

Kristie,
I am so impressed by both your patterns and your beautiful crochet! You just must design a goat (-: With horns of course! I would gladly send you a photo of my particularly handsome goats for inspiration!I am a nurse and applaud your generous toy donations to your local hospital. What a wonderful way to honor your ill child and create meaning from her illness experience. Your personal warmth and genuine humanity are so evident in your cheery website. You are a treasure.
