Thank You Cyber Elves! 800+ Pillowcases Distributed!! :)

Thank you to all the hard working Elves who participated in making our 2014 Christmas Drive another success! We collected over 800 pillowcases along with $286 donations by those Elves; those funds were used to purchase coloring books. Additional books/sketch pads/crayons/coloring pencils were purchased through CEGB Board Members donations.

Our Sewing Elves come from our FB CEGB Closed group, FB Embroidery, Sewing, IT Groups, Missouri Star Forum and Quilting Friends. I'm hoping that we can interest others in helping CEGB in 2015 thereby being able to reach more children each quarter.

Besides the pillowcases, some talented elves created knitted Santa & Elf Hats, knitted and crochet NICU hats, NICU Kimono Shirts.

Due to my PC laptop crash and getting replacement, there has been a delay in posting the usual photos. At this point it will have to be after the Holidays. I need to spend some time getting the Christmas Spirit around the house ready for Don's homecoming on the 23rd!

Again, without your continued support or maybe it's your first time participating, Cyber Elves Give Back cannot brighten the rooms of those children who are sick in a sterile hospital.

Much love and huggers,
Ruby, Don and Board Members

Congratulations Ruby!!!! What a wonderful work you do.

Woohoo!!!!

Woohoo!!!!

Congratulations! Is this a photo of Don the Elf of the North Pole?

Could you please tell us more about the CEBG group, maybe we might be interested in joining, thanks.

Haha Jean! Yep that's my Donny Boy at The North Slope/Prudhoe Bay dancing his Elf Jig celebrating another Cyber Elves Drive. LOL

Poor guys/gals have dealing with -50' for the last two weeks, maybe 1/2 of daylight now. Luckily Don still has that military mentality and can "Adapt and Over Come" anything. :)

Hi Meghan,

As a quilter, I donate 95% of my quilts to children in hospitals, critically/terminal, homeless or foster children across the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia as requested. Our mission Keikies of Waianae that started on Oahu has grown into Cyber Elves Give Back when we moved to Atlanta last year. :)

Cyber Elves Give back is a non-profit organization which specializes in creating hand made gifts for children throughout the United States. Quilters, embroiders, sewists, knitters, crocheters throughout cyber space have joined CEGB to make pillowcases, NICU blankets, NICU/PICU quilts, clothes, hats, hoodies, hooded towels, stuffies and other fun items throughout the year.

Cyber Elves' Closet provides clothing to homeless/low income and foster children throughout the Atlanta - Tennessee area and will accept applications for review.

We also create "Warrior Elf" and "Special Elf" kits for children when family/friends send us a request - once verified/approved, I will gather "likes" of the child and create a custom pillowcase/crayon or coloring pencil case plus matching roll-up for this sick or child in need.

Currently we donate to 7 hospitals in: Georgia, Tennesse, California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas. A minimum of 100 pieces for each hospital per drive.

Our hospitals will request additional supplies during the year, many of our elves will send additional Year-Around Pillowcases as their time/budgets allow throughout the year.

Dang, Ruby - I've been so wrapped up in my problems I forgot I had Christmas Pillowcases to send you. I can get them washed - do you have a local (to you) place to send them, or should I take them to the local women's shelter? Or do you want them for next year? Let me know, OK?

That is awesome news!!!!! What a great group of Cyber Elves!!!

((Kathy)) Don't worry, we know that this has been a rough year for you and the family.

I'm taking the last of group to the local Children's home on the 24th but I don't think with the slow mail that you should take that risk.

You can take them to your local women's shelter or send them with the Easter Drive pillowcases. I'll be working on Xmas pillowcases in January. lol I went a bit over board shopping the sales at Joann's since it was 40% off plus the 25% total purchase, then the manager asked why I was getting "all of this bolt please", "all of this bolt please". Told her about CEGB, she told me she would give me 20% off the 40% plus let me use the 25% off the total purchase. I went back to get more before checking out! Hmmm, I didn't tell Donny Boy about that shopping trip! OOPS...

Either way is fine...you're a wonderful Elf and have always contributed to CEGB.

Huggers, Ruby
