Sweet Dream In A Bag

August 2014

Providing New Bedding, Caring
and Love to Children in Transition

A young girl getting to choose her "Sweet Dream Bag", actually on her Birthday, she expressed what a special day it was for her (maybe the best birthday she has ever had). She said she has been sleepinng more restful since she has been sleeping on her new bedding!

We have sent out this newsletter earlier than normal, because there are so many new Treasure Times on the schedule and to allow you time to plan. Please check out the calendar on the left. This is the time of the year with school starting and fall and winter around the corner, that these needy children can really use new warm bedding. Plan to be a caring and loving volunteer, this makes each child feel that this is their own special day!!!!!

We picked up 4 beautiful Sweet Dream Bags from a 4-H Club that is in Nebraska-- they created 4 complete bags and even entered them in their County Fair. What a gift of love--4 special children are going to be so excited with their new beautiful bedding!

Two ladies from a church where we held a "Pack & Pray" decided that they would like to just fill Sweet Dream Bags on their own -- they had a great time making 2 complete "Bronco" bags-- even hand made the twin fleece blankets--they have taken 12 more plastic bags and plan on working to fill them!!

A church group volunteered to make their "Project Day" a day to sew Bronco Pillowcases! WOW! The kids really like these.

Thank you for the creative ways many people have decided to help us provide bedding for all these precious children! Do you have a Project Idea??? Call Susie 303-507-2098
