Project Linus - 2012




 
 
We have such a wonderful group of moms in our MOPs group!  These ladies worked hard to create 15 blankets to donate to Project Linus.  This is an organization that provides blankets to children in need. 
 
This year we decided to make it a little easier on ourselves and we bought fleece kits! This meant that the fleece was already cut into rectangles.  We still had to cut all the little slits and then tie them all. What a great way to help a charity and chat with friends!

First Meeting - September 5, 2012

 
This year's theme is Plunge: Love as if your life depended on it.
 
We decided to go with a beachy/luau theme.  We have luau name tag lanyards, sand bucket centerpieces, fun beach inspired table names, and signs decorated with shovels and tropical flowers.
 


We wanted to make a special gift for each one of our MOPs mommies.  So we made these adorable soap dispensers by creating a wordle about our MOPs group and printing it on transparencies.  Our steering committee worked hard this summer removing soap labels, inserting transparencies and tying raffia to make these gifts, but they have been well worth it. Every time a new mommy comes to our MOPs group, we welcome her with an information packet and a Harbor soap as a gift!
