T21 Traveling Afghan Project!

"The T21 Traveling Afghan Project was started by CJ, in honor of her daughter Emmalee. Emmalee was adopted at the age of fifteen months and is the joy of her family's life.
CJ taught herself to crochet about three years ago and wished she could make every child with Down syndrome a blankie of their own. She has found an enormous amount of love, support and friendship within her Down syndrome family and she wanted to pass that on. Since she would never have the time (or yarn) to make one for every family, she decided she would make ONE afghan to send to them ALL. And why not chronicle the project in the process?!
The Projct grew by leaps and bounds. What began as something fun has become another strand to bind together all those families who share a little something extra! CJ's also blogs at Don't Lick The Ferrets and helps maintain Family My Way. "
How cool is that?
CJ emailed me today and let me know she had noticed that I was not yet signed up to participate and asked if I was interested. Of course I was, so now we're on the waiting list to receive and cuddle this beautiful afghan that has touched so many peoples lives. We can't wait.

This will be so cool. You, me and Jennifer can hand it off to one another and share in the love. Three babies sharing the afghan would be cute, too. Major photo op :-)
