On the 10th Day of Christmas, we used 10 Hands. Tonight, Mouse, the 3W's and myself put together a homemade blanket for Project Linus. We will be taking it to the Bibb County Chapter Meeting on Saturday. For those of you who don't know, Project Linus is made up of thousands of volunteers across the United States. Their mission is to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers." Together, they have distributed over 2 million blankets to children in need since they began in 1995. My friend Kristy over at The Doles Family Zoo clued me into this group when she found out about our 12 Days Challenge. It fit perfectly with our quest to re-discover the true meaning of Christmas. During our research, we found that we know 2 very special children who have been the recipient of homemade blankets from Project Linus. We are looking forward to attending the Bibb County Chapter Meeting on Saturday and donating our handmade blanket.
