I am so excited that you are visiting my blog! I started this blog because I wanted to get the word out about a special project I am doing. I have decided to call it "Comfort Bags For Kids". The project is starting out as my Silver Award for Girl Scouts. The Silver Award is the highest award a Cadette (11-14 years old) Girl Scout can earn. If everything goes well and if I get lots of donations, I would like to keep this project going indefinitely.
The first part of my project is that I am collecting donations of art supplies such as paper, pencils, crayons, paints, etc.. These donations will be put in hand-sewn fabric bags and donated to children who are at the local womens shelter and the hospital. If you would like to give a donation of either supplies or money please contact me.
The second part of my project will be various art related projects for the public including a bottle cap mural that kids can add to at "Families in the Park" and at "Movies in the Park". Also there will be an all-day recycled art workshop for kids sometime in the beginning of the school year. The art workshop will be open to kids of any age. Instead of families having to pay for the art workshop, the kids can bring a donation of either art supplies or $3.00 for the "Comfort Bags". At the art workshop kids will be making crafts made out of recycled materials.
We would appreciate your help collecting art supplies, fabric, and the "trash" for the class. If you have any ideas; would like to make a donation; or would like to volunteer please contact me.
