Barbra,
That blanket is just beautiful!! Very Very Talented !!!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Thanks Christy! I had tried to knit one but did not like it.....so my Mom came up with a crochet pattern for me to do Thank goodness! LOL

How r u feeling?!

[ChristyMichel]

Im good. Feeling a little down but every time I start to really feel down this little girl starts squirming alot :)

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Lotsa hugs to you Christy! Drake wants you to smile....so he pokes his little sis!

Wow I just saw your ticker and it does not seem like you should be almost 27 weeks!!!

[ChristyMichel]

Time has gone by soooo fast :) This whole year has flew by.
I think so also. Drake pokes her and he makes me smile through her little movements. GOD I miss him so much.
It seems noone else around here really realizes that tomorrow is his angelversary. I kinda feel alone. I will be ok though, I always am.

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Oh Christy you are not alone!! So many of us are here! We are all sending you so very many hugs!!

[SCURTIS]

Awesome job!

[ChristyMichel]

[Corin Nava]

I LOVE it Barb!!!! It's perfect-you are absolutely amazing!!!!!

[KateC]

Your package should be there Friday, Corin.

I just found out, too. Don't kow if you know but you can purchase "Flat Rate" boxes at the post office. Basically you buy a box for say 10 bucks, stuff as much as you want in there and you cannot be charged for the extra weight. Just food for thought. I am going to start using that!

[Corin Nava]

Thanks Kate! I can't wait to get it!

I'm going to have to look into the flat rate box and see if it works out cheaper.

[StephanieOlivarez]

I want one!!! I want one!!!! lol
BARB---BEAUTIFUL..BEAUTIFUL!!!!

CHRISTY---I think of you everyday and am always sending my love to you. We did a balloon launch for my cousin Chris and included Drake, Faith, Shannon...and ALL Angel Cherubs.

[AshleyJackson]

Barb the blanket is fabulous! I cant crochet let alone sew to save my life!

[AmyMiles]

I heard about that flat rate box too!

Corin I bought some hats today for .49 cents! They are on sale at The Children's Place outlet around the country. They only had three so I bought all of them! I will keep looking for more items to send you!

[JaanaRosenlund]

The blanket is so perfect! Great job!

[DanielleGolding]

I want to know how to crochet....teach us Barb!!!

You did a brilliant job!

[KateC]

That is a good deal, Amy!!

[Corin Nava]

Thanks Amy! Thats awesome! I used to get these adorable little hat and bootie sets from Family Dollar for $2, but they stopped carrying them :( So I'm on the look out for some!

Kate-I received your package today! Thank you so much for everything!

[SCURTIS]

Oh Corin,

I had a nice lady offer to knit infant hats for the gift bags... She is currently on vacation but said she will start working on them when she returns! I figure I should probably have them in a few weeks to send to you. :D

[Corin Nava]

Shauna-Thats wonderful! Just what I need :)

I don't know how I would do this without all of you wonderful ladies!!!!!!

[JeanneNava]

Barb,

That afghan is amazing! Any chance you would be willing to share the directions? I think I might like to try and make one myself.

I've been working on quilts for the gift bags. I have finished 5 so far this year. I have another top sewn together waiting to be quilted. I told Corin I'd like to make at least 1 or 2 a month, so I'm on track for now.

Thanks to everyone who has offered their help. I know some of you have been sending things to Corin to include in the bags. I'm so grateful to all of you for your interest.

Christy, I'm so sorry I didn't see your post about your Cherub's angelversary until today. My prayers are with you!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Jeanne take pics of those quilts so we can see! I KINOW they are beautiful!!

I will be happy to share the pattern with you! But I have to warn u.....I do not read patterns and I make it up as I go! LOL I can not read a pattern for ANYTHING!! grr! But I will try to make u some directions that u can understand! 8-) These blankets are simple and only take a few hours to make if you know how to crochet.

[mskelly]

I want to learn how to crochet just so I can learn to make this!!! It's so beautiful!

[Barbara and KevinWagner]

Aww Thanks Shana! I wish that I could teach you! I do not usually crochet as I am so bad at it.......I ammuch better at knitting! LOL

[JeanneNava]

Shana, If you lived closer I would teach you to crochet. I find it very relaxing. There are a number of web sites to help you teach yourself to crochet. I'll do some searching and post a few to get you started. I find crochet easier than knitting. I guess Barb and I must be opposites!!

Barb, I will take pictures of my quilts but I need Corin to post them for me. I'm still on dial-up and have problems getting on the Cherubs site and uploading pictures takes forever.

[JaanaRosenlund]

Corin

Wondering what items you are really needing at the moment for the gift bags? I would love to send some.

[Corin Nava]

Jaana-

you are too sweet! Really anything right now, I am trying to build up an "inventory" of sorts to have so that I can make sure when we start sending these out nationally I won't run out! I know it can get very expensive sending things overseas..... hats, booties, and eye covers are some lighter things that I really need.

[JaanaRosenlund]

I really enjoy baby things, so I will definately be sending some cute things that I find!
