I love lOvE LOVE this time of the year.
I love the fall colors, the cooler weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the heightened sense of gratitude and charity this time of year. My husband and I love doing charity for others and each year we do a big charity project as a family to help teach our young children the importance of serving others.
This year we are making nativity sets and are selling them with all profits going toComfort Quilts .
The quilts are made for the families of fallen police officers and fire fighters and are made from their actual uniforms. I am the wife of a police officer and I hope I never am in the position to be receiving a Comfort Quilt, but I do know that these quilts are absolutely cherished by those receiving them and that they are a tangible reminder of their loved ones.
So the GIVEAWAY....

I'm a new follower! I love Nativities. They are my favorite Christmas decoration. The Comfort Quilts are an amazing idea. Thank you to your husband for his service. It may not be military, but our police and firefighters need to be thanked for the job they do as well.

I'm a new follower. I've always wanted my own nativity but I've never actually found one I liked. I love the simplicity of yours, especially in the brown.

ReplyDeleteI am someone who cherishes handmade items with my whole heart and I can only imagine the comfort that these quilts give to the families. I noticed that they made one, as well as some other things, for the Chief of the Lake Oswego Police Department. Hits too close to home.
