I haven't had much luck with collecting shoe boxes (or something similar) to cover and decorate as memory boxes. So, for now, I don't think we will be doing that for our get-together. (Unless anyone is able to get some for me. Ü) I have the memory boxes that I've gotten from Micheals (thanks again Amber), and I am really pleased with them. They will be great items to donate.
Our main focus will be the bereavement diapers and the mini 'stuffed' bears.
I am also SUPER excited to know that I will be getting a serger for my Mother's Day present. I think it will make it possible to make more items to donate.
****************************
I am getting really excited! I can't believe it is just under a week away! I have had some people show interest... but only one person has committed to actually being there. So, we will see how it turns out. Ü
And we are just over a week away from Nicholas' birth-day. Nearly 10 years since we lost our first baby boy. I am so happy that I have items gathered, and will have more items gathered and created to donate in his honor.

Whether you are able to come or not, I really want to express my gratitude for all the love and support I've been given. I really look forward to all that Comforting Hearts will be able to do!
Sara its really coming together! I was excited for you when the bishop announced it in sacrament meeting. I wish I could be there but I have to work. If you want to borrow my sewing machine you are welcome to it. Let me know what else I can do to help.
ReplyDeleteOH, I missed that! We were a couple minutes late coming in. That is so awesome! That really makes me happy that he sees the importance of what I am doing. I would love to borrow your sewing machine if you don't mind. Is there a good time I could stop by to pick it up?
ReplyDeleteSara, I have a photoshoot scheduled that day so I won't be able to come, but I'll bring you some stuff at school when I come to work on Thursday. You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteSara, I have looked and looked and can't find your post that has the time and place you are meeting this Saturday. I want to be there so would you mind shooting me the info? Thanks SO MUCH! Melissa Mitchell
ReplyDeleteKjerstin, thank you so much for being willing to donate!!! I am sorry that you won't be able to make it to the event, but I will keep you posted! Because I plan on having more! Ü
ReplyDeleteDo you still need shoe boxes and what size? I *may* be able to get some for you. How soon do you need them. If I can get them they'd have to be mailed.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I read Ashley Sullengers blog and she posted about this today.
If you can email me the answers to my questions at khymas @ gmail.com I'll see what I can do about boxes.
Karli, yes I could still use shoe boxes. I have my service project event, but my service project has no end in sight. So, I will continually be collecting items. If you are able to get show boxes, I would really appreciate them! Do you live in Eastern Idaho? If so, we could meet up at a park or other public place and I could get the boxes. I am not sure the best way to ship shoe boxes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest. I really appreciate Ashley adding my project to her very personal post. I haven't met her personally, but I think she is amazing!
I found your blog today linked from Ashley Sullenger's blog. I LOVE what your vision is and what you are doing. I would love to help in anyway possible, but I am not sure I am close enough to actually attend. And it may be too late to mail you items. BUT I would like to at least try.
ReplyDeleteThis Saturday is our Family Temple day, but if I am close enough I would LOVE to come and help.
SO, will you email me with the address of the church you will be doing it at? I will gather as much as I can from my house and my mother's. My email address is blue.eyed.redhead99@gmail.com
I'm in Utah, but these boxes would be coming from Tennessee. If you'll email me your address I'll have her send them to you. =)
ReplyDeleteSara I am sending 11 different sizes and shapes of shoe boxes and other kinds with Emily. I hope that they will work. Love you!
