Almost One Year Anniversary!
June 4, 2008 2:38 pm June 2008 UpdatesWe have been working on afghans for the children at Camp Sanguinity for that long. Right now, you will find 128 afghans in the afghan gallery, but I am about to take pictures of four that Rebecca (here in Denton) put together and one that Vickie sent me from California. I have one here that I am finishing. That means I need six more to arrive so that we have the 140 total. Let’s see if that happens before the one year mark.
When I first began, I was delighted when a single square came into my mailbox. Then, there was a flood! During November and December, I couldn’t keep up with your generosity. Even now, folks send me squares (and I’m still delighted). But, we don’t need any more. I have more than 3,000 extra squares! Those will eventually get into afghans for the children who are too sick or too young to go to Camp Sanguinity (though the afghans won’t have 48 different names on them). Anybody willing to put together some extra afghans?

I’m no longer accepting donations for Camp Sanguinity. You can visit my post at This Eclectic Life to see who won the raffle. A few more generous donations have come into my mailbox. We now have $1199.42 + 20 Euros to give to Camp Sanguinity.

My friend, Lola, in Spain sent Gariota’s money, some bags for the bag project AND some lovely lava earrings for me (she made them herself!). Check out her other lovely creations at her blog.
Today, folks are blogging for peace. You can visit my post called Dona Nobis Pacem to hear some lovely music by Nanci Griffith that says it all for me.
