she didn’t realize how much fun she’d having making blankets for others
Who knew that when Shannon in Detroit emailed me, she’d become hooked on making binkies?
We kinda knew this would happen, but she didn’t realize how much fun she’d having making blankets for others. She wants to keep going.
COTS shelter in Detroit has a new friend, -Shannon H has been making binkies for them for over two months. She was “inspired” by needing to complete 90 hours of community service. YAY US! We win, the kids win and SHE wins, big time.
She says, “I actually quite enjoy making these Binkies. Even after my 90 hours are fulfilled, I’m sure I’m going to keep going on them. They’re therapeutic for me, and after I leave the shelter from donating, I feel so good.”
