What a week! The kids at Lifesource are awesome! So far they have cut out over 70 shirts and yesterday they completed 12 hats too! Now we need hands for getting them all sewn together. What a blessing to have this need.
If you have time or ability, let us know if you would like to take some of these shirts and get them sewn together. Also, JoAnn's has some of their flannel half price this week so it is a great time to pick some up. If you shop at Hobby Lobby, don't forget to use their weekly coupon. Typically it is for 40% off and you can pull it up on your phone when checking out so you don't need the paper copy! We want to make sure you are aware of little things like this so you get the most out of your blessings and efforts.
Thank you to some of you that found great deals and have picked us up fabric or have given us money to make these purchases. We are blessed and you will also be blessed for the love you have shown for these little ones. Thank you.

June 2012 Updates
This ministry continues to be blessed! On Monday we got to work with the kids of LifeSource International! They are an energetic group ready to make a difference for others. During this summer they are joining with us to make shirts for the babies of ACH CVICU! With their amazing efforts, we will be able to expand our ministry to the hospitals of Northwest Arkansas quickly! How wonderful to know so many more babies and their families will be blessed because of their efforts. It will be exciting to see what they accomplish over the short months of summer. It will be just as exciting posting their updates here for everyone to see what they do.
Today a package for ACH was put in the mail and this week they will have new shirts, hats, and blankets for the babies! And, later this month another package will be on the way to them! Check out the new photos as well! Families will be blessed by you! Thank you!

June 2012 Work Session Totals
It continues to be amazing how much can be done in just a few hours! Today's group was no exception. What a blessing getting to bless the lives of others. We completed things today that will allow us to get a wonderful package to ACH this week! Thank you to everyone that helps us make this possible. Some donate fabric, some money, some come and cut fabric, and some come and sew, and some work on things at home during the month. Every little bit makes a difference that adds together for an amazing impact! Today we completed the following:
21 receiving blankets
10 shirts sewn together
10 new shirts cut out
2 fleece blankets cut
This is a lot of work for just a few ladies to get done in 3 hours! Thank you!
If you would like to work on things during the month as you have a few moments, please let us know. We will get the information/supplies to you right away! Everyone can make a difference and every bit of impact adds up to AMAZING! If you prefer to simply give, we will always use fabric donations. Fleece and flannel are the most needed. It takes 1 yard of flannel to make a receiving blanket that will fit the CVICU bed. It takes 1 yard of 60" wide fleece to make 2 blankets. We make them a little smaller so they are easier to work with in the little beds. We can cut out about 8 shirts from a yard of cotton and about 8 hats from soft stretchy knits. And, we even save the scraps! They are donated to a group that uses them to make beds for an animal shelter! Nothing you give will be wasted!

25 receiving blankets cut
10 receiving blankets completed
13 hats cut
14 shirts (with linings) cut

With this great start, we will have a nice delivery again for the CVICU at ACH! We have shirt patterns cut out and available for you to take home with you.

March Delivery Totals
Wow! What an amazing delivery for March! So many of you did pieces that contributed to an amazing first delivery. And, you blessed families and the staff more than words will ever be able to express. There are no words how wonderful it was to see a precious little baby girl wearing one of our pink shirts made just for the CVICU. We had this blessing before we left! Can you imagine being a mom and not able to put a little shirt on your baby? These mothers will no longer have this issue because of what you do. And, if you are not yet a part of us, please check out the information on how to help. Many, many more families can benefit from just a little piece of your time and talents.
Delivered to ACH CVICU:
18 Receiving Blankets (also to be used as sheets)
21 Fleece Blankets
22 Lace Easter Bonnets
26 Shirts
17 Crocheted Hats
19 Hats
2 Large Bottles of Dreft
Toiletries for the parents
Books for the parents
This is amazing. And, the shirts work around lines, tubes, x-rays... they are completely usable by the staff! What a blessing to give something to them that simply cannot be purchased anywhere. Thank you, thank you, thank you for joining us in this ministry. April delivery can be just as impacting! Join us this Saturday to get started!!! We need boy cottons and girl or boy fleece mostly at the moment. Most of all, we need hands to help. Thank you for considering us.

Never Underestimate What You Do!
As we spend this month completing projects for our March delivery, we are joined in our efforts to make a difference. I was given a "sneak peek" at what Mud Pie will also be doing for ACH! They are implementing a program to provide socks already wrapped as a gift for the babies of the CVICU!!! We inspire them, but they inspire us too! Once all details are finalized and started, I will post photos and information for everyone to see. They are an amazing company! Take some time to check them out! You will be blessed.
Most families at ACH cannot afford the little things such as the beautiful socks or outfits that can be worn and enjoyed in the CVICU. To have the honor of companies such as Mud Pie making a difference too is what most of you that heard have called "speechless". To have them honor our daughter Elizabeth Posinski is overwhelming. There simply are no words.
We also received some money this past week to use to purchase fabric from an anonymous person. God is so good to provide. As we are His hands and feet to these little ones that He loves so dearly, He will honor these efforts and you are going to see even more blessings than your bucket can hold!
"You can do what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things." - Mother Teresa. This is the beauty of all of you. We each have talents we can use. Never underestimate what you do. You impact others and it spreads. Together, we make a difference!
