Craft time with my granddaughter for Relay for Life

Today is Satudray, March 14th.
This weekend began my craft making for fund Raising with my granddaughter Gabriele. Last year my then 83 yr old mom crocheted beautiful afghans what had hearts and cancer ribbons crocheted beautifully into the afghans. One was sold one ebay (all money we raise goes to the American Cancer Society-Relay For Life) one afghane myslef and my granddaughter set up displays at stores selling raffle tickets as well as just walking around with flyers.. In addition to that we had bake sales. Last yr for 2009 mom God bless her she was 83 did not understand about the net..so as i was goint through her paperwork i find all this (did you know you can raise money using the internet?) flyer hid away...I took a deap sigh..and desided this year I was going to take on that task.

My granddaughter is soo soo proud when she raises money for her ggma (great grandma) thats what the li


l ones like to call her. As she is young she and I are doing plastic canvas cancer items this year. She (Gabbie) is so excited. Right now we started with lapen pins that can pin onto your jacket shirt etc we sit side by side so i can help her and she watches me. She laughed so hard today because gran (ME) I glued a lapel to my finger with a hot glue gun OUCH! Once we master this we will move to coasters, etc.

Me I also stepped into moms shoes this year and I joined her in crocheting and like me n my granddaughter, I sit beside my mother and she helps me along with the crocheting.
So you can see this truly is a family effort! I do have some HUGE important announcements to tell you about... first if you have facebook plz take time and become a fan of HOPE4ACURE It is my hope that ppl NOT only those affected by cancer but anyone with a health issue or loved one with a health problen can go to and find other people to talk to and offer support to one another.
