Coming Home
Yesterday I worked on a very special to me project. Every year since John had his accident I have taken something to the SICU staff on the Monday after Thanksgiving as a thank you because that is when they worked especially hard and resuscitated him a couple of times. Without them, we would not have what we have now and I like to thank them for their part in that. I know the staff is not all the same, but they are working just as hard helping other families like they helped us.
I did not think I was going to be able to do anything this year because of the visitor restrictions at the hospital, but thanks to a friend of mine that works there, it is still going to happen. I usually take a fruit basket and some cookies, but this year I knew it had to be different because of COVID. So I turned to my crafting and decided to make many little individually wrapped decorated treats. I started with wrapped Hershey candy bars. I saw this idea on a site I follow...Creative Corner.
A 6" X 6" piece of designer series paper perfectly wraps the Hershey bar. I made all twenty of these yesterday, including the die cutting and the coloring in one half of a football game, so you can see they come together pretty easily.
