Bottles of Hope 12-32

Bottles 12 and 13 (no I did not make the hats, they were part of a dollar store purchase)



Bottles 14 - 17



Bottles 18 - 24


Bottles 25 - 32


My new way of carrying my BOH.




Hi Everyone,

As part of my commitment from the OWOH giveaway, I'm working on 100 Bottles of Hope which will be given to cancer patients at two of our local hospitals. These are bottles 12-32. I had actually miscounted last time and only got up to Bottle 11 instead of 12. If you've been following my blog you'll recognize the source of many of the coverings.

The bottles were made while listening to the Sarah McLachlan CD that Renee had given me. Unfortunately Renee has passed away so this is my way of infusing her spirit and joy into the bottles. There are some tears in the making of the bottles (though not actually in the bottles) as well, which seem fitting as cancer isn't necessarily a joyous path to be forced to take.


Here are the blogs that the bottles are made on behalf of (somehow I think this might be bad grammar). There are all sorts of blogs in this grouping from crafters to spiritual types to stay at home mothers. Take a flip through a few of them and enjoy.

Your BOH's are truly lovely and so impressive; I'm stunned.

Lovely project this is, but I'm so sorry about your loss - dear Renee, who just passed away.

Once again; thank you for doing this great project, Sandy.

Take care, and may God bless you !
