I would also like to thank here, people who have donated ‘other’ items to this project. In November, 2007 a friend, Kay, came up with a great idea for the afghans: a pocket (knit or crocheted) into one square to be sewn into each afghan. In each ‘pocket’ would be placed a “Teenie Beanie Baby” toy, as a small gift for each afghan recipient. If an older child received that afghan they could ’share’ the toy with a younger child and the ‘pocket’ could remain in their afghan to store something like a note, or kleenex, or a small treasure. Since that time several people have donated “Beanies” for this project and I’d like to thank them here. (click on photos to enlarge image)

I’d also like to thank “Momma”, who has so lovingly seen to the task of crocheting the borders on the sewn-together afghans. That is one job I am very grateful she took over (and she’s done a great job!). Thank you, again, old friend…you are greatly appreciated!
