They wrote a note to Matthew Blanchard on their own hand made cards and slipped him $1. Even Lulu did it, cept she slipped him a $5.
Even my twin's friend, who was here at the time, pulled a $1 out of his pocket and said, "Can I do it too?"
How sweet it was.
And then I sent him a magic blanket.
So excited. Just can't hide it.
You can still join the dollar drive and send $1 to Matthew at 8444 Brody Marsh Ave/Las Vegas, Nevada/89143. Just think, if 1,000 people send a dollar, Matthew will have smiled 1,ooo times. And I've heard somewhere that 1,ooo smiles are as powerful as pixie dust.

If you read my post yesterday on my CTD Diaries, you'll also know that I made and delivered three more magic blankets to three little boys who have a very sick daddy. You can read all about it and see photographic evidence here.
And you can read about the sick daddy here.
If you are interested in banging out some magic blankets yourself, let me just say it's SOOO dang easy. All you need is 1 yard of fleece, preferably no-pill because it's so forgiving, and 1/4 yard of a coordinating solid color to tie up the loose ends.
Lay the fleece out flat and on both ends cut strips--1 inch wide and 5 inches long--all the way across each end of the blanket.
Next cut 1 inch wide, 5 inch long strips out of the solid coordinating color.
Tie a solid strip around each strip (aka loose end) on the blanket.
Viola! You're done!
And finally, guess what? Kritta's done it again. She made another Magic Quilt with all the original fabric contributed by the people. And for the people. And of the people.
I'll be back to expound very soon, so don't touch that dial.
