Delivered... sort of

I took the beads for Noah and his family to work today and gave them to my coworker. She'll take them to Noah's dad on Friday at his office and off they'll go to hopefully bring a little comfort to their family during this trying time.

Here are photos of the beads and what I did with them. The ones with the eyes on them are my Worri Wart beads that I started doing back in 2007 during a project for the kids at Graham Middle School here in North Carolina. My friend Tim wrote a cute story to go with them about how they came to our planet and what they're here for and I included that with Noah's beads.

The flower is for his mom and the single Worri Wart is for his dad to keep in his pocket as he goes through his day trying to work and continue to provide for his family.


















I haven't heard yet if Noah's family is participating in it, but there's a cause called Beads of Courage that sends glass beads to participating hospitals for children receiving cancer treatment. It's a wonderful cause and they help lots of families during a very difficult time. Beads of Courage is trying to win the Pepsi Refresh Everything contest for a $25,000 reward this month. Please take a minute and vote for their cause as well as those of their voting partners!
