So Touched!

I cannot even begin to tell you how touched I was tonight when I got home. My friend, Alex Lundgren from http://www.houseofpaper/ whom I have never met in real life has orchestrated the most touching gift to be delivered to my door. Check this out: This awesome crocheted afghan arrived in a box with this note:


After having visited the website http://heartmadeblessings.org/ I found out that this wonderful organization is a not-for-profit, world-wide group of volunteers dedicated to providing hand-crafted items to those people suffering a loss, tragedy, or going through a rough time that need to be reminded of the simple fact that people care.
There are wonderful people who donate squares for afghans, like this gorgeous one I received. Dear, sweet Alex assembled mine and it is nothing short of a true “blessing” at such a trying time for me at the moment.
Now for the really important stuff that matters - check me out all bundled up and snuggled up ready to watch Jack Bauer! A very special thank you to these wonderful women for bringing this wonderful bit of comfort into my life:

Alexandra Lundgren

Sandy Lewis

Christal Groves

Donna Melton

Phyllis Glaz

Joan Biddulph

I may have to learn how to crochet so I can join this wonderful organization. This is just such an awesome act of kindness. I am speechless. Off to snuggle in my new and very comfortable afghan!

I think I have left a few tears on the timeslips here at the office. What a wonderfully sweet and thoughtful gift. I feel so blessed to be apart of The House knowing how much we all truly care for each other.
