Jakey's Blankies Needs your help!

This is post from my friend Liz. I just want to put the word out as well!

WAIT!!----UPDATE!!! Apparently there are some people who have donated that are getting their mail returned to them. If you are mailing them, send them to Bishop Anderson, but make the checks payable to Summerfield Ward. Sorry for the confusion!!!


We are getting ready to start making "Jakey's Blankies!" (The soft white one under Jake's head). Jake had 2 of these. One for his blessing and one that was brown with a giraffe print that we held him with while he died. We even buried him in the white one so he would be extra comfy! These blankies meant a lot to us. They are made out of a special material called Minky and it is SOOOOOO soft!! You can't help but want to snuggle with it!! We think that every child should have one of these to snuggle with so we want to make a BUNCH of these for the heart unit up at St. Joseph's hospital in memory of Jake. We are needing donations to make these, so if you were wanting to donate, but haven't, please send your donation BY MARCH 8TH at 8:43pm!!!! We really want to make a lot of these, and possibly make a bunch every year, but we need more funds, even $5 would be GREAT!! Thank you all for your generosity and THANK YOU to those that have already donated!! If you have any questions, please e-mail me at edennison78@yahoo.com


You can send the donations to:
Bishop Anderson
Summerfield Ward (Jakey's Blankies)
2791 E Los Alamos Ct
Gilbert, AZ 85295
Make checks payable to: Summerfield Ward


Thank you very much, and if you don't mind posting this on your blogs to help spread the word, I would really appreciate it!

When and what will be a surprise. this means you might have to leave a few coments to be one of the three. :)

Sexy People


Ok so as much as I would love to take credit for finding this treasure of a blog or website or whatever it is I can't. I actually found it on my cousin's blog first. She is hilarious and has the best sense of humor so when I saw Sexy People I knew it had to be something special! I was so not disappointed! This blog just brings a smile to my face daily! I mean Tom here is one of the fine examples you can find on this site! Tom makes me smile, so I say kudos and thank you to you Tom! Your exquisite cheerleading jump of joy makes me joyful! The fact that you keep your button up shirt so neatly buttoned and tucked into your shorts is amazing! There was a post (with sexy examples of course) of those oh so sexy profile shots that have the same picture faded above the other one. I laughed for a good long while reminiscing about those beauties. The thing is I remember always being upset my Mom wouldn't buy those for us. Now I say "Thank you Mom!" although she also didn't believe in retakes and trust me I needed several! I don't feel the need to apologize of my love of this blog either. It is just good fun and I bet even my buddy Tom above gets a good laugh at it. In the 7th Grade my picture was so hiliarious to my home room teacher that he showed the entire class and then bribed them not to tell me. At my old job we had a contest for the worst school photo. Would you like to guess who won? Oh that's right yours truly! For those of you lucky enough to have a Safford Middle School yearbook from I believe 89 you can see the lovely pic that won that envious title of "worst school photo" I would like to note that my hair actually was long enough to touch my shoulders though, crazy huh! Well anyways I just felt like I needed to give some love to the Sexy People blog site.
