 Hi, I'm Laura, from Come Together Kids, and I'm so thrilled that Carlee invited me to stop by Ladybird Ln. as she kicks off her awesome Pillow Fight for a Cause.

 On my blog, I love to share the ways I've come together with my kids through activities, projects, crafts and outings.  I've made and shared all sorts of ideas, but one project in particular has been the most popular by an overwhelming margin.  Back in March, to celebrate the start of Spring, I pulled out some fleece scraps and my hot glue gun and made these cute  

Fleece Flower Petal Pillows for my girls.

 

Soon after posting the tutorial, my little pillow idea seemed to spread like wildfire!  In the few months since I posted them, I've received hundreds of comments from people all over the WORLD.  It's been featured on a bunch of blogs and the tutorial has even been translated into several different languages.  As thrilled as I am, sometimes I would just wonder, "Why in the world are they so popular?  It's just scraps of fabric and some hot glue?"

But then I realized... pillows bring us comfort.   When we're sad, we can cry into our pillows.  When we're angry, we can punch our pillows.  When we're scared, we can grab onto our pillows to ease our fears.  And when we're happy, we can lay down on our pillows at night and count our blessings!  

If we have a pillow nearby that is bright and cheerful, we can start to feel a bit brighter and more cheerful ourselves. This is why I love Carlee and Malynn's idea for this Pillow Fight for a Cause!   A simple pillowcase is a fantastic way to show your support when you can't be there in person to offer care and comfort.

Thanks so much, Carlee, for having me here at Ladybird Ln. today.  

I look forward to making a few pillowcases myself and I hope lots of other people do the same.  I also hope that if your readers have a minute, they stop by Come Together Kids to see some of the other fun crafts, projects, recipes and ideas that we're sharing this summer.

Thank you Laura!  Please stop by her blog, she has so many wonderful ideas, and is one of my favorite blogs!  She is also having a super fun Summer Linky Party HERE!
