Just found this site so very new here. This year Christmas will be very special. My 19 yr old grandson who is in the US Army will be flying home and arrive on 12/01/11. We are all so excited he will get to be home through Christmas but has to report back on duty in VA shortly after. I am crocheting decoration items of red, white, & blue ribbons and Army hats. We are making Welcome Home posters to be placed out
front so everyone who drives by our home will know our excitement for the few days
to follow. It's been very difficult for me to deal with Blaine being in the Army and stationed so far away. Crochet is my consulation to go through the days while he is away and so far from home. Every day I am at my computer to look through the crochet sites I have found. I am mom of 3 grown adults, and 8 grandchildren with #9 due in Feb. With the new little one due soon, will be crocheted blankets, & more booties. Of course its blue things to crochet. Happy Holidays to everyone.
