As most of you know, Primary Children's has a very special place in our hearts. It is where our dear Faith spent many days and where we were able to meet many living angels who helped her (and us) live for the 10 months that she did.
Going to the Festival of Trees (especially this one) helps me feel her sweet spirit and remember those who helped us so much those 10 months of her life.
Every year I say to myself: "we are going to do a tree one of these years". A Faith- filled tree. I decided this year that 2012 is the year our tree will be there! It will be a big project and we will appreciate any help that is given.
I would like the tree to be centered around Faith in the Savior, as it is His birth and life that we celebrate especially at this time of year.
Some ornaments I will be making with clear bulbs and transparent pictures of the Savior.
Some will just be pictures tied with ribbon:
I would also like some larger pictures/prints that are nicely framed, either to go under the tree or beside it.
Then the garland I would like to be red beads. Similar to this:
The tree will be the major expense because I would like a pre-lit tree.
My mom, the talented lady that she is, will be making the tree skirt or a quilt to go at the base of the tree.
All of these things will be a part of our Faith-filled tree and it will be set up at next years Festival of Trees.
Every penny (100%) raised at Festival of Trees goes to help children at Primary Children's Medical Center.
Last year, more than $14.3 million charity care dollars were used to cover over 14,057 hospital visits at Primary Children's Medical Center. (read more)
