Now that a couple of months have passed since the big delivery to Safelight, I emailed them to ask if they now had space to take the rest of the bags. To my surprise, they said that new shelter resident needs have greatly slowed down, and they hadn't used that many bags so far. Their …

Wrapping Up the Safelight Project
Over the past few weeks, I've been working on getting our Safelight Project farther along. As we left off in March when the lockdown began I had just delivered 39 bags. The dollar store wasn't doing bulk orders and I needed to wait until that began again. In late April, I was able to again …
Counting Blessings, and Safelight Winners
Strong storms roared through our area on Sunday night, with driving rain, thunder and lightening. The winds were howling up the coves on both sides of our home for some time, and the noise was frightening. The next day brought the damage to light. We were counting our blessings that we only lost two …
Safelight Project Update
It has been a busy time for the Safelight Project. Lots of packages have come into the post office, and another delivery was made. I hope I get the names and the pictures right, so much has come in I might be a bit off, but know that I really do appreciate and am very …

Cards and case sets are coming in for Safelight, and it is exciting to see this project take off so quickly. We hit our donation goal within 48 hours of the first announcement, and have now gone well over. I knew that the shelter was completely out of bags for new residents, so I wanted …

Thank you so much to these …
The Safelight Project 2020
It is time to start the Safelight Project for this year, and I am hopeful that the fourth year of this project will be the biggest and best yet. Checking with the Safelight domestic violence shelter this week showed that they are now out of the spa bags. Last time we managed to do 70 …
Have a Heart for Safelight
Making small gifts for Safelight this month along with stamping a couple of cards for very special friends kept me busy at the stamping bench. If you are not a stamper, please read on for an update on this year's Safelight Project. Isn't this stamp adorable? It is called Darby Love, and is also available …
Tissue Covers and a note about Safelight
When we did the latest Safelight Project, wonderful reader Betty Giacomino sent 70 tissue covers to go with the cases made by readers. It was delightful to see how many there were that went together well. The last 15 or so didn't really match (I mean, how much can one expect, LOL!!), but at that …
Safelight Project Delivery
Yesterday was a fun day as we packed up the goodie bags and made the delivery to Safelight. For those new to the project, Safelight incorporates many services for domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims providing counseling, case management, court advocacy, support groups and job training under one umbrella organization. These bags provide much …
