This bundle is from a long time Adopt-a-Child participant. This lady works, as she puts it, "Until I'm done," when asked by the social worker that runs this program when talking to a new donor about how long it takes her to put all this together.
You may wonder what takes so long. Well this lady makes most everything that she gives. I know she makes the clothing, and anything else special that she can. In this picture you can spot the nap time mat complete with quilt and pillow and the doll. In speaking with her this year she told me about the new found joy of online shopping where she found some of the the items that in the past had been hard to find, like a jacket in the summer.
She specifically asks for a little girl every year because she herself had two sons. She's even gotten her sister into participating. She delivers her goodies the day of the pick up and she stays to help out the whole day. She was given an award by the Daughters one year and I know she's probably deserving of it every year.
