I got this message from my friend Mimi last night (below). If you have anything to donate or want to make an ornament, email me at chillyhollow at hot mail dot com and I'll put you in touch with Mimi. Remember, nothing breakable and it's got to be at her front door before Halloween so things can be packaged and mailed to our military.
Mimi's worked on cookie shipments to the troops in the past and also on shipments of small toiletries. This year it is trees and ornaments they are collecting, so help if you can! Make an ornament or donate some you no longer need, your choice. Thanks.
"We have 200 Christmas trees and 400 stockings we are trying to get ready to send to the troops. If you or any of your friends have any needlepoint tree decorations you no longer want I would gladly take them. Or if they want to make some that would be great, can be knitted or crochted as well. (Just nothing breakable) One lady cut up old cards, punched holes around the picture and then crocheted around and made a loop and they are going to be cute ornaments for the trees.
I am looking for some easy ornament patterns that I can NP that don't have to go to a professional finisher, will see how I do. I have lots of blank canvas so I should be able to do something. Anyway if you have anything, have friends who have anything, I need it by October 31st as we have to make get everything ready to go by beginning of Nov."
