Let it Snow...

It's not snowing in Illinois (yet) but we spent some time this morning surrounded by snowy flakes...

My children and I created several snowflakes to contribute to the Parent Teacher Association of Connecticut's collection. They plan on creating a winter wonderland for the survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Though the students and staff will not return to that particular school, they will be at new schools soon. When they get there, I hope they see that every single snowflake was made with love and support. I hope our combined efforts allow them to feel even the tiniest bit of Hope for a happy future...

If you'd like to contribute to the national collection, the deadline is January 12 to mail in the flakes. You can find more information on the National PTSA page.

Oh, this is so wonderful! And I love that kids can get involved, too. I've been seeing that image today, but wasn't sure what it was until now. We'll hop on the snowflake-making bandwagon!

Because you know how I am.
