Cranioversary Care Package

Rachel's one year cranioversary is fast approaching.  The months leading up to her surgery drug on, but the following months have gone by quickly.  We are so very thankful for all who prayed for her and our family and who continue to do so.  I want to do something to celebrate this special one year anniversary and the best way I can think of is to send a care package donation to the Cranio Care Bears .  Would you like to join me??? 

According to the site:  "Typical items in our care packages are socks for mom & baby, toiletries, toys, teethers, snacks, gum, chap stick, body wash, tissues, etc. We also send homemade hats, blankets, pillow cases and prayer chains. If you are a crafty person and would like to make something, we would love to include them!"

(The prayer chains are made from pieces of ribbon that people send in with inspirational quotes or verses they have written on them.) 

Although they don't specify, from personal experience, it is especially good to have a toy with textures or some sound for the days when baby's eyes are swollen shut following surgery. 

If you would like to send a little something, prayer chain ribbons, or $$ along, too, you can give them or send them to me before November 14.  I'm looking forward to sending on some love from South Dakota!! 

Cranio Care Bears is also currently holding a raffle. A $20 ticket buys a chance to win a trip for 2 to Mexico, a Coach purse, as well as other prizes.  There is a live shopping event/fundraiser next Saturday in Loveland, CO, so if you're in the area, stop by. :)  Here's the link to purchase a ticket online:  http://shop.craniocarebears.org/products/raffle.

I love the new onesie they put up on their site yesterday.  Yes, room for a brain to grow = PRICELESS!
