Good Afternoon all!!
I am excited to announce the kick off for the 3rd annual toy drive.
We (my girls and I) are once again collecting toys for the childrens hospital.
This year will be donating to the University of Minnesota Fairview Childrens Hospital.
We will be delivering the toys the middle of August. I will let you know the specific date as it gets worked out with the hospital staff.

The hospital new letter wrote an article on the toy drive also.

We are on page 11.
Want to see what I have already for the toy drive??
This fills one and half boxes. I STUFF the toys in.
For those of you who are new to this...
Here are the basics.
If you send me one toy for the toy drive, you may pick one of the patterns I am offering for free.
If you send me two or more toys, you may have both patterns emailed to you!
Interested in what the patterns are??
Here you go!
My bumble bunz pattern
And also my Bunny Love pattern.
Please pm me for my address.
PLEASE be sure to include your email address in the package, as well as which pattern, or both, that you would like!!
Last year we ended up with 14 boxes! I hope to do as many this year.
I will update with new pictures of the toys that I receive also.
As many of you know, this project is very near and dear to my heart.
I am so fortunate that my middle child (who started all of this!!) is doing fantastic.
Better than fantastic! If all goes well, she will be taken off one of her medications next August. If she does well with that change, they will continue to wean her off all her meds...and she could be medication free in just over a year!! Keep your fingers crossed!!
Feel free to email me, or pm me with ANY questions you may have.
Thank you so much!!
A special thank you to Midds who is hosting a challenge for this toy drive.
I have a feeling we will have TONS of toys this year!!
