Woohoooo Triplets

Yes you heard me right and NO I'm not the lucky grandmother. This is a young girl that is not a relative or a family friend but she is really in need of a Random Act of Kindness.

This young lady already has a two year old, running, laughing made little boy and now she is having three more in less than three months.

She lives in a very small community that proudly has approx 250 residents. Its out in the country side and about 1 1/2 hours away from where we live on the outskirts of Sydney. We live right on the end of Sydney, more countryside than built up so now you can image how much more isolated they are.

Now just a little bit of her history: she struggled to fall pregnant in the first place and miscarried a number of times. She successfully carried her son but with many many visits to the hospital. They decided to try again nearly straight after his birth as they knew it would be a struggle. After another miscarriage she fell pregnant with no medical assistance with triplets. They didn't say anything to anyone until recently in fear of loosing these babies.

Now everything is looking very positive and going well. But what they didn't count on was:

a) Her husband getting into the Army at the same time as the babies are about due.
b)Triplets
and there is no mum to help out and her sisters live a couple of hours away.

So this young couple haven't asked for help but the community around them and her two sisters have asked. I heard about it and there's to be a Baby Shower tomorrow down at the Community Centre in her small town.

So I am driving down there to do a Random Act of Kindness:

I've made a card and going to drop that off, eat their morning tea and come home again. LOL

Nah, I'm not that rotten, I bought a Baby Safety Seat thats appropriate from birth to 4 years, I have a bag full of soft lovely plush toys that are like new, from my grandkids (hope she doesn't get too many of those) and I thought money in with the card will come in handy for buying the essentials. We don't have much ourselves but I always reckon that if you can afford to help someone in some way you should just do it. 

I don't know what sex the triplets are so I kept to neutral colours. Coloured with copics. I stamped with a pale blue ink in the first place, but hadn't thought through what colours I was going to make the bears. So, of course the yellow bear has ended up with a green outline. I went over the outlines with glitter pens in the colours of the bears but it didn't cover up the green lines on the yellow bear.

Finished the bears off with white stitch, red copic hearts and black copic outline pen for eyes, nose and mouth.

Stamped the sentiment 'Woohooo! and used Alphabet letters to make the word 'triplets'.

Gave a wee bit of grounding to the bears and all finished. Off early in the morning to get to this little wonderful country town and hoping it's not going to be too hot.

Cant wait to meet this young lady who is so excited about having her babies and thinking to myself how wonderful God can be. After all her previous heartbreak to now bless her with a full family, health, and a wonderful caring community.

Life is Good.

Heres the baby seat all unpacked and ready to deliver.

No need to give them a pile of rubbish to get rid of.

 I did check that it was needed before I bought it

and it was marked off the list.

okay so off to enter my card over at Jennifer MsGuire
