YEAH!!! Finally online!! Story about the toy drive!!!!

[KristieMN]

I got the actual newsletter just before Christmas. I am been chomping at the bit to tell you all about it.

 

They just loaded the newest Fairview Foundation newsletter on their website.

 

This is the story I was interviewed about, promoting the toy drive.

 

Crochetville is mentioned in there also!

 

I have to tell you, it was extremely hard for me to read this story. I read the first 4 paragraphs, and had to put it down for a few days.

 

I REALLY didnt want the article to be all about me.

I am SOO glad they put a link to join in the toy drive.

 

What do you guys think?!?

That was a great story! I've got to start picking up a few things here and there so I'll be ready this year. Hopefully I'll actualy get some stuff made as well.

That's awesome Kristie! Thanks for Sharing. We all enjoyed being part of your drive last year, and are looking forward to it again. (Which reminds me, I better get going on stuff for that too...oh, my poor wim list! )

Kudos to you and your family - very nice story

I just have to call my mom and have her read the story to me. My only access to the internet an my home is a sidekick cell phone that does not allow me to read pdf files.

 

I do have a question about the toys though. Are there any guidelines for size, matterials or safty? I have some great ideas for a few animals and if its ok might use some of your free parrerns.

 

Thanks

No guidelines...just kid appropriate.

Use any or all of my patterns.

 

 

Thank you everyone for the support!

The only reason the toy drive is a success...is because of everyone helping!

Kristie, you are a wonderful person to start such a great charity act. That story was very well written and moving without being over the top.
