Thank you again Ann. Your support really makes a difference. These will ship out next week. I will let you know when and where :-) Hugs!!!

On our second time around for 50 states!!!!

Well ladies, We did it! We have now passed shipping a dozen Comfort Dolls to every state and a dozen plus to New Zealand. The 52nd dozen ships out in the morning. You all are amazing. I could never have imagined this project going so far. I hoped, and dreamt it would, but with life being so busy for everyone, I just thought it may have been put on a back burner. You all kept shipping your beautiful handmade dolls and with each package my heart warmed. I don't think there was a week that I didn't receive dolls.

My promise is that this project will continue for as long as people feel the need to share their talents and hearts with women who could use a ray of sunshine in their upset lives.
Thanks to all of you who spread the word, and for those who added the Comfort Doll button to their blog or web site. This helps so much. I also want to thank those of you who have taken on this project in your own country and state. You don't have to send to me to be included in this project. Also for those of you who spread the word among groups, and for the newly created Comfort Doll group. It is wonderful how we really are one big sisterhood willing to give from our hearts.

I know postage, supplies, and time is costly, and I can't thank you enough for what you do. If you sent one doll or several, your donation continues to give in a huge way. I know I will never forget any of you.
Love, blessings, and hugs to you all.

Each doll is beaded and embellished front and back with sweet faces. Noel made 27 dolls for the shelters and tucked in one for me along with a beautiful fabric post card. Noel, thank you so much for such a generous donation. The doll you made for me will be treasured. She is beautiful!

Thank you for everything.

11 Comfort Dolls from Comfort Dolls yahoo group

A month or so ago Pam Suver contacted me to ask if I would be fine if she created a Comfort Doll Yahoo group because she understands the importance of this project and wants to spread the word in hopes of more participants. I gave her my blessings and thought it was a wonderful idea, and what a special lady to want to encourage and inspire others to join the Comfort Doll Project.

A sweet smelling box of 11 dolls arrived for the shelters from Pam. Pam's Yahoo group currently has 5 members. Two ladies, Kathorine Wood of PA and CR Bryan of VA made these 11 dolls which Pam kindly collected and shipped to me.

Pam enclosed a heart warming letter describing the care these two women put into their dolls. I can see and feel it Pam. These are beautiful and such a blessing to hold. Thank you for starting the group, collecting and shipping the dolls to me, and thank you Kathorine and CR for creating these lovely little ladies. Their recipients will most certainly feel the love of every stitch placed.
