A Crocheted Christmas Donation

Cheryl S has done it again!  Cheryl you are soooooooooo creative.  This is an awesome gift for one of our families.  A crocheted tree skirt........GORGEOUS, a set of Christmas towels and placemats and Christmas lights!  I truly would not have thought of this but am so glad you did.  Think how special this will be as a Welcome Home Gift for one of the families as they move into permanent housing  from the shelter housing around the holidays.  Every year as they pull out this special Christmas Tree Skirt they'll be reminded of how much someone cared, and wish them well for a bright future.

I'm making notes of some things we might want to do organizationally for next years special holidays.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND KEEP THAT CREATIVITY FLOWING !
