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

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?!

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

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!!!

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.

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

Awesome job!

Alright Barbara....... How much would it cost to make one of those blankets ? Ok well I mean for you to make one for me? :)

(((((((((((((Christy))))))))))))))))) Thinking of you today!!!! Barb is right - we're all here for you!

Barb, love, love, love the blanket!!!!!!!!

The blanket looks great Barb!! You are very talented!!

That's awesome! The blanket looks great!

Love it Barb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very very talented.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

The blanket is so perfect! Great job!

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

You did a brilliant job!

That is a good deal, Amy!!

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!

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

Shauna-Thats wonderful! Just what I need :)

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Corin

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

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.

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