Full Circle. That's what I call this! In my Relief Society awhile ago, we opted to do a service project (making blankets) for the wonderful organization Project Linus.
A few months later Hallie was VERY sick about a week after I had Laila and was hospitalized, while there they gave her a blanket from Project Linus, I thought to myself how COOL is that! Now in my inbox today I received the following email:
Sisters,
This is a thank you from a mother who received one of the Project Linus
blankets that we did for Enrichment several months ago. Extra thanks
to
Lucy and the committee members who planned the activity.

I thought, why didn't I send a thank you to the girls that made Hallie's! I do know the blanket I received was from a girl scout troop in Columbia MD, that's all I remember! Anyway, if you're looking for an easy service project Check out the website, they even have no sew patterns that are super easy to make!
They're located all over the U.S., and I know for sure, it's a comfort to a sick child!

When we had to take Alex to the hospital in Columbia we also got a Project Linus blanket. It was purple, not exactly a manly color, but I was so touched to have gotten it. I didn't even think about trying to thank the people who made it. I'll remember that if I ever get another one (I hope not!).
