Kristen, my Granddaughter, held a craft auction and crock pot cook off today at her church. I packed a suitcase with crafts and also one with clothes of course and got on the train. The proceeds will all go to Haiti. New Hope Baptist Church is located in Watertown, New York. She put this together in only a week. The missionary group will be leaving soon for Haiti.
$1200.00 was raised. It was a big success.
One of our blogging friends, My Hidden Stash, lives across the border in Canada. I told her I would be here for this event and said it would be fun if she could come.
It was great to meet and spend some time with her. It is nice to put a face to a person we blog with. Thanks for coming today Janet. I also got to hold your traveling sock.

Good for Kristen putting actions to her words and passion! How wonderful!!
That truly is a wonderful thing your friend did and I know help is certainly needed. It's a wonderful bonus to meet a blogging buddy too! Good for you. I so admire how you travel so much when you're needed (wanted, just want to, or for whatever reason!).
What a great job Kristen did with raising so much money for Haiti!
And isn't the Internet a wonderful thing to meet new friends. Good for you and Janet!
P.S. What is a traveling sock?

Hi Aunt Nancy,
What a nice thing for Kristen to do and you also for going and taking crafts! Kristen gets all that talent and organization from her Grandma!!!
Love,

That was a wonderful thing to do and having you there to support her must have made Kristen so happy.
Glad you met a blog friend - that's always fun.
Stay warm and safe - a lot of snow may be coming your way Nancy.
