Blanket Donations

Colorado Cuddles from the Heart is a wonderful group of ladies who were brought together by similar circumstances.  All three families had babies born around the same time who had/have heart defects.  My sweet friend is one of those ladies.  Every year since their babies were born, they want to give back to the hospital that worked so hard to help their little guys out.  That is where the blanket drive comes in.  They take brand new blankets, whether they are homemade or store bought, in November they take them to the Children's Hospital in Denver, CO.    Every year I try to send a few blankets, but this year I was trying to think a bit bigger.  On Wednesday night I am going to the church and teach some of the young women there how to sew some blankets together to go towards this blanket drive.  I have 22 all cut out and ready to go.  I am very excited by this, teaching someone something as well as helping others by giving them a piece of home while in a hospital.  This is also close to my heart because as a little girl I was hospitalized at the age of 4 and from then on I got to see A LOT of Dr's. I remember volunteers coming in to have the time pass, I was close to home so I am sure I had one of my blankets there (I would really have to ask my mom on that one).  It is a scary experience for a little kid to be somewhere different, not feeling well and not knowing what tomorrow will bring.  

 Please let me know if you would like to send a few blankets for their blanket drive. I will help anyway I can, whether it is getting you in touch with my friend or taking the blanket for you and putting it in the box of the ones I am going to send to her.   Come on ladies, let's get our craft on!! :)
