Hello and Welcome!!

Hello and welcome to my first attempt at maintaining a blog on my local Project of Project Sweet Peas--Lauren and Madeline's Gift.  As many of you know, I started this project in honor of our twin girls, Lauren and Madeline, who were born at just 27 weeks gestation due to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome.  I now focus as much of my spare time as possible on giving back to the hospital where our girls were born and spent their first 75 days of life, St. Joesph's Hospital in Milwaukee, WI.  I donate gift bags to parents that currently have a child in the intensive care unit of the hospital filled with the following items--disposable camera, picture frame, journal and pen, tissues, lotion, chap stick, face cloths, baby blanket, children's book, puzzle book, teddy bear and other goodies I find along the way.  These items--all small in nature--make a tremendous impact to parents faced with the extraordinary circumstance of having a premature baby. 

Anyone and everyone is welcome to help us fulfill this mission--you can donate items to help us fill the bags; knit, sew, crochet or no-sew blankets for the bags; volunteer to help assemble bags at various times throughout the year; spread the word to friends, co-workers, organizations;or make a monetary donation.  Any and all help is appreciated.
