Thank you, Velda

Velda from Oregon is a new donor to Marine Corps Kids. She enjoys crocheting, and made four beautiful hat and blanket sets for the babies.

She wrote of our troops saying:
"I just want them to know how much they are appreciated for standing up for America."

Thank you so much, Velda! These gifts are lovely and will be appreciated!

Thanks, Ruth!

Ruth from Seattle, WA is a huge supporter of Marine Corps Kids. She has sent so many wonderful gifts for the babies.

Today I received a box of fleece hats for some of the older kids. Ruth made 35 hats, and they are all soft, colorful and incredibly cute. Some have tassels on top, some look like puppy ears - all are adorable!

Thank you so much, Ruth for your continued support. These hats are great!!!

Thank you, Sharon

A large box arrived today from Sharon in Florida. I was delighted to see all the beautiful sweaters that Sharon crocheted! Sweaters take a long time to make, and we can always use them for the babies. I couldn't believe how many gorgeous sweaters Sharon made. There are so many unique patterns - no two are alike!

Sharon also sent in 2 ponchos, 2 blankets, a few hats and a pair of booties.

Thank you so much, Sharon! These gifts are wonderful and will be very much appreciated!

Hats from Becky

Becky in Georgia read about Marine Corps Kids in Women's Day magazine and crocheted 43 hats for the kids!

The photos show 37 baby hats and 6 ear-flap kids hats which will be great for some of the older kids!

Thank you so much Becky! These hats are wonderful, and we're so happy that you chose to support our military families through Marine Corps Kids!

Thank you Melody!

These two delightful quilts were made and sent in by Melody from Orange County, CA.
They are amazing! It's hard to tell that there are actually two quilts here. Melody used fabrics in several different patterns and textures, and included fabric with the Marine Corps logo in the quilts.

They are cotton and corduroy and are lined with flannel. I think that the families who receive these will be thrilled!

Thank you so much Melody!

Thank you, June

Today a box arrived from June in Louisiana. June wrote that she is a Marine Corps wife and mom. She's now also part of our Marine Corps Kids family of crafters!

June is amazingly talented, and as per usual, the photos do not do justice to her work. Everything she sent is just beautiful! The little boy sweater and hat just blew me away. I adore the double breasted front with that gorgeous collar, and the cable work is lovely!

I packed up gift bundles to send out today, and this set is ready to ship to a lucky little guy!

Thank you so much, June! The new mothers will be delighted to receive these gorgeous gifts!

More from Pauline

Today another two gifts arrived from Pauline in Oregon. Pauline is incredibly generous with Marine Corps Kids and has done so much to support our military families. Every few weeks another box arrives from Pauline with 2 or 3 blanket/hat sets for the babies.

You can't see the beauty of her crafting because she chooses to wrap her gifts, but she is amazingly talented, and her work is beautiful!

Thank you so much, Pauline, for your ongoing support!
