THIS IS JUST AMAZING!

As part of our "Year of Giving" theme, we wanted to be sure every resident of the nursing home Century Care Center received a Valentine's Day card.  We needed 83 and were concerned we wouldn't get enough cross stitch hearts to make 83 cards.  Well, as always you all came through for us.  This is what Mel will be delivering to Century Care so far with more to come:

122 Valentine Cards plus
90 strawberry shaped lavender sachets
18 bookmarks
2 square pillows
1 cat pillow
1 eyeglass case
1 kleenex holder
1 tote

The extra cards will be given to the staff for Valentine's Day too!  Thank you so much to all of you who participated.  We will do this again soon with another theme!

Hearts From The Girls at Midwest Academy

When we put the call out for cross stitch hearts to be made into Valentine's Day cards, we never thought that these amazing girls from Midwest Academy in Iowa would answer that call!  This is the first time they have tried cross stitch and every heart they stitched came out beautiful.  We sent their hearts to Bonnie who made Valentine cards for the residents of Century Care Center. 


Here's a photo collage of the girls working on their hearts!  Looks like they're having fun!


Thank you so much girls for stitching these for us.  We're sending more supplies to you soon.
