Mom has made me some really soft handmade washcloths. Since they work so nicely and feel so good she thought other people might like them too...
They are wonderfully soft, 100% cotton. Because the are not too terribly large (about 6 inches across), they are great for faces! She can make them round or square. They are $1.50 each or three for $4.00 and mom is going to put the proceeds in my building fund. Just e-mail mom HERE to tell her how many you would like and give her some color ideas (some colors you like and if you prefer variegated or solid). She will get back to you on the possibilities and your total. Shipping will be minimal.
(Mommy can do custom candy bar wrappers and some of her wrapper friends also do gift baskets and decorated paint cans. If any of you do gift baskets or cans, these are great as additions to Spa or New Baby sets.)
My mom and dad are putting together a cookbook as a fundraiser for my new room. They would love for you to help out by sending them a recipe or two or three or more that you really like. Maybe it’s a heirloom recipe that you HAVE to bring to a family gathering or they won’t even let you in… maybe it’s your favorite comfort food… or maybe it’s your favorite decadent indulgence.
There are really no real “rules” but when submitting more than one recipe please make sure they are different kinds of dishes! Although it would be fun, they don’t want to end up with 300 dessert recipes and one casserole. Please proofread your recipes. Mom and Dad might be able to figure out that “ground beff” should really be “ground BEEF” but they won’t know if you typed 1 teaspoon and really meant 1 tablespoon. If you can, please do not use abbreviations. Abbreviations might end up in the cookbook, but if you don’t use them in your submissions it will make it easier to get your recipe printed correctly in the cookbook. If you can, submit each in a separate e-mail with the category you see the recipe fitting and the recipe name listed as the subject. Example: Side dish – Baked Mac n’ Cheese
Some category suggestions: Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Beverages, Vegetables, Side dishes, Main Dishes and Casseroles, Breads and Rolls, Cakes, Candies, Cookies, Desserts, and the much loved, “Other.”
We are all really excited about this project and appreciate your help in getting the recipes together!
Please send your recipes to recipes@soapboxorations.com to make it easier for Mom and Dad to keep them all together and not miss one. Thanks!

Look what we gave daddy for his birthday! He really likes them and is impressed with how nice they are. Mommy says that these mugs and other stuff to help raise money for my room is available here.
I was in a Christmas Nativity on Sunday night. Don't I make a cute angel???
I wasn't able to go to the ETTAC Christmas party this year so I missed seeing Santa Claus. It kind of looks like I won't get to see him before Christmas at all. Mommy is glad I didn't make a "special" trip to see him at Children's Hospital. That is probably a good thing. Mommy has a friend who saw Santa at the party and she has a special toy for me (OH! A surprise!!!) She will be dropping it off for Mommy to pick up next week.
The weather here isn't helping the yucky stuff (that's a very technical term!) in my lungs. I have been having oxygen issues for a couple days because the stuff is so thick. Thankfully my nurses are right there to help get it out for me. I don't know what we would do without my suction machine. And when I sneeze I can get a whole lot out! It hasn't been bad enough to call my doctor but I go see him in a few weeks anyway.
Mommy showed me some t-shirts that will be sold as fundraisers for my room. She is hoping to get Daddy to help her get information and pictures of them online this weekend. So maybe there will be a surprise next time you visit!
