Edna Perkins Project.......Act 3

On Thursday evening I wrapped all of the handbeaded jewelry that the Omaha Beady Bunch created for our Annual Edna Perkins project. These were all assembled into a large straw basket. We sell wooden rose buds for a project called, "Rose Buds for Rose Bud". A portion of the proceeds from this endeavor are donated to the Rose Bud Sioux Indian Reservation to Preserve and Perpetuate Native American Arts and Crafts. I added a bouquet of the roses to the basket to be distributed to the women at the shelter in addition to the jewelry packets.

The basket and its contents were delivered to Catholic Charities on Friday afternoon. They were, of course, delighted and expressed their appreciation for our remembering the women in the shelter on Mother's Day. I felt very good on the drive home to have been a part of making this wonderful event successful for another year.
