Nutcracker Santa Stripe Bag by Splendiferous Fiber I've made many friends over the years working backstage at the ballet company. After 10 years, my daughter moved on to dance at the college/ pro level, but I still go help out and hang out with the other parents and volunteers. We work ourselves half to death, but always have fun. It's so worthwhile to not only help the dancers have a performance venue, but to present the ballet to the public and school classes that come to watch. I love seeing the dancers grow and improve every year.
Andrew and Matthew's Beau Beau Bags by Mama's Little Monkeys I am thankful to do this charity for Matthew Akin. Baby brother Andrew may be gone but will never be forgotten. I am thankful for healthy kids and that I can help this one family even a little.
Black Lotus Bracelet by Etco Lotus flowers symbolize ….how people should live…with purity of speech, mind and body.
Crochet Child's Hat by Stitches in Cotton I am thankful for the ability to crochet and 100% cotton yarn, without these my children's heads would be cold during the winter.
