We are busy preparing for the Party with Heart launch party which will take place this Friday evening.  For the first time since this project launched, people will come together to celebrate the beginning of something positive, and good for our community and our children.  No party would be complete without live music.  Christine Daniel will be playing - she’s fantastic.  Who doesn’t appreciate a woman who plays acoustic guitar and a sings with a smokey voice?   There will be a products on display for people to offer feedback on and make any purchases they would like.  Two dear friends of mine, Casey and Catherine, have agreed to photograph the event.  Stay tuned for the images, I’ll upload them as soon as I am able!

Party with Heart will be showing products at local schools as a way to introduce the idea of gift giving with conscious to young people.  My daughters gifted a sweet, hand-knitted elephant from our collection to their friend Hannah.  Little Hannah named the elephant Peanut and her mom took the time to talk with Hannah about how that elephant is helping others.  Hannah was so smitten, she brought Peanut in for show and tell.  Stories like these make my day. Hooray for Hannah!

The Academy of The Holy Names has graciously invited Party with Heart to show at the Boutique Noelle event this November.  That will  be fun.  The young ladies there are delightful!  I am certain they will get on board with us.  

Back to party planning for me.  Best wishes to you all for happy days, happy hearts and big smiles.
