You guys have kept my mailman and UPS man very busy. My kids have gotten used to the mail arriving around lunch time and both race out to see how many packages have arrived. I get the ‘mama, this ones too big… no, let me carry that one… mama, can you help us.’
Today as we were sorting through all of the handmade goodies, Keegan exclaimed ‘oh my goodness!’ For a two year old, he knows what he’s talking about. With each package that I open, I probably say oh my goodness many times. Then after all of the sorting has been done, we sit down and talk about the babies in India. Daily. They want me to tell them about who made all of these wonderfully crafted items and where they are going. ‘Where is India mama? Why don’t these babies have mommies?’ The second question tears at my heart every time.
Oh and the notes that come in the packages. You are such wonderful giving individuals. I hope you truly know how much your time and effort will be appreciated. Even if the kids cannot thank you themselves. Know that every stitch you make, every second out of your busy day you take… it is all appreciated and needed.
You can watch the numbers grow daily in the sidebar. I update it every time I get a delivery so keep checking back for new numbers. There is just under two weeks for this current project deadline. I can’t wait to deliver all of these things to the Miracle Foundation for you. Take care friends.

Wow – the pile is growing. Thankyou for allowing us to give in this way. It is very meaningful to make something for someone, especially a child, who deserves so much more. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
Oh my goodness indeed. What sweet stuff. I’d love to sift through a package like that. Some children will be so happy to use them.
I laughed when I saw your pics b/c my Lucy has been wearing that same orange dress for days. It’s her favorite outfit lately:

Exciting numbers!
Wonderful!!! Thank you for coordinating all this.
Love seeing my hankies in your photo above – makes me happy to be a part of it all.
How wonderful this all is – thank you
I agree – oh my goodness! How wonderful it is to see those numbers climb. I plan on sending mine this weekend. Is there a special way we need to package our items? For example, do we need to tie our booties together in pairs?
Count me in! I’m going to start on some things tonight. Please send me your mailing address.
Very exciting to see so many beautiful items… heartbreaklying wonderful…wow! Happy Days to you all

I love the pictures when you have the piles of goodies all together. It really illustrates how many people are participating (and it is fun to try to find the items you sent in). Thank you for organizing this project and I cannot wait to hear about Project 4!
Please send the address. I have some items to send. I just knew the perfect spot would show up for the beanies I’ve been compelled to crochet the past few weeks.
I believe sewing these things has done as much for me as it will do for the kids…thanks Jade for giving of your time to make it all happen God Bless…
I’ve been checking the sidebar daily to watch the numbers grow. Next week’s count will be exciting! I can hardly wait for Project #4 and hope you’ll announce it soon.
hi, i have a box ready to go but haven’t received the address in my email yet. thanks! =)
This is so exciting! I’m getting my stuff ready to send tomorrow! I can’t wait to see everything all in a big pile before you take it to India!
Howdy! I have about 20 beanies and 12 hankies for you. Can you please send me the shipping address? I’m sure you have sent it to me before, but the email must have got lost. I’m so, so sorry!!! Also, I didn’t get any time to make booties. Can the booties be purchased? Would you prefere to receive pillowcases instead? Thanks for all that you do!!!
I have I believe 14 pairs of booties that will be coming your way this week. My MIL sent caps her mother had knitted, last week. I wish I had my sewing machine with me so I could have made some hankies.
Hi! I have a small bundle of pillowcases that I would like to send to you. Could you please email me your address. Thank you.

I have 18 receiving/swaddling blankets and 10 pillowcases ready to go. Please email me the mailing address so I can send them on their way tomorrow. Otherwise I don’t know if they will make it there on time!!!
Thanks! CraftHope is such a wonderful idea!
Thank you for coordinating this wonderful project. I am thrilled that I have a package on its way to you. It has some hankies, pillowcases and two blankets.
How sweet of your little ones. What a wonderful pile of goodies there, too. I am glad I saw this in enough time to participate.

Whoa Nelly. That bootie number jumped last night!! Wasn’t it 68 yesterday?
I’ve got my blankets done! I didn’t want to write off for sending details until I knew I could participate. Now, I’m ready to head over to the post office. Can you send me the info?
Thanks so much! And thanks for all of the organizing you are doing!
