Regina thanks for sharing.
Not only myself, but everyone needs to know that we all have something to share.

To add to Shelley’s post, Tanya Harris Van Houten showed me the same message although she might not know it, which makes it even better. I made a hat and sent her a picture. She called me up with some tips. That in itself to me was awesome. Then she sparked something in me. I want to be like her and donate my projects to homeless shelters and hospitals, especially kids with cancer!! Her kindness and thoughtfulness was passed on to me and I hope I get the chance to pass it on!! Thank you Tanya!!!!  I even had a friend offer to donate money for the yarn and had, for some reason, bought a bunch of random yarn from Herschners because of Tammys generosity. Thank you Tammy!!!! Lol. Not sure but I think God had a little to do with it!!  Thank you to Krafters Korner for letting me join!! You all are awesome and inspiring!!!!!!
