Day 22 for Jack Otis Memorial MonthOur friend RoseMarie with her signature flowers has crocheted 3 pairs of slippers, a hat and matching scarf that the girls will enjoy. She's also donated some personal care items (deodorant, toothpaste and shampoo), and a headband. The colorful circles will be nice starts to squares to add to one of ghans for Project Welcome Home.
The yarn will be sent to our friend Anna. Thank you RoseMarie for supporting our cause and showing your support to our friend Anna, who was open enough to share her story with us awhile back. I know she started right in on the yarn I sent and will welcome this addition.

ReplyDeleteI feel a little silly asking this, but am I the "Anna" you're referring to? =)
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed, Anna.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you very much Sandy and RoseMarie. This made my day! =) I'll send you my change-in-address information. You are truly some amazing people for all you do for others. As soon as I can I will start sending in donations to help out Bridge and Beyond... I know I've been saying that for a year now but I still mean it!
