Making Beads for Beads of Courage

 If you are not familiar with 

Beads of Courage,

please check out their website to learn more.

In a nutshell,

Beads of Courage

is an organization that helps children who are going through serious illnesses

by providing beads, both purchased and artisan made,

to recognize their strength and their progress in their healing journies.

Each bead the children earn

marks their progress.

Each bead is distinctive and marks a particular event in their treatment.

As they say on their website,

"Every bead tells a story of strength, honor, and hope."

My box is ready to go.

 This box will be in the mail on Monday.

Here's a sampling of what is in the box.

 There are purple hearts for the children.

There are butterflies for the parents who have lost children.

There are some cupcakes.

There are some very sturdy fish for the children.

There are lots of hearts.

Here's a group shot of what I made in my last BOC torch session!

It felt good.

Thank you Beads of Courage for all you do for the children.
