Charity Mail

When I got home from my trip, along with several magazines and bills waiting for me were 2 items of very good mail! The first is from Hannah, even though it was my 'turn' a while ago to reciprocate from the good mail that Bella got. )I've been too poor and busy for good mail lately- that's my excuse anyway...) She sent me 2 wildflower seed packets with some gardening gloves (of course I don't have any!) and a cute card. (You can still make cute cards Hannah, so keep it up! I need your help and advice as to planting those flowers however... Maybe when I see you tomorrow you can give me some pointers!)

The second is from Lara, who I never made the connection with her blog, since she doesn't use her name on her blog! She is Kristi's friend from Texas, and emailed me a little while ago saying she wanted to help with Lola's Legacy. I told her that I still needed ribbon, and she sent me this wonderful package! She sent 12 spools of ribbon and 6 cards of Making Memories metal charms! She was even thoughtful enough to include the receipt in case I wanted to exchange any of them so they would coordinate! I used the ribbon last night to make a demo-album and it turned out so cute! Thank you so much Lara- I am indebted to you.

I have been so touched by the generosity of those I have approached about Lola'a Legacy, and even more touched by those who donated even though they were not approached. They simply saw a need, and filled it as they could. Lara sent me this beautiful package even though I have never even met her. My dad sent me $100, with which I was able to buy all of the adhesive at cost, and several ink pads. Robin and Jenn bought some of my scrap supplies, even though they could have bought the same things at Roberts using a coupon! This project would never be possible if not for everyone's generous contributions. It is coming together quite nicely. Thank you, Thank you, one and all.
