Y'all sent the right stuff for the right job... I teach at a technical college and every year, for the last 30 years, we build Christmas Doll Cradles and Rocking Horse for needy children, from infant to 100 years old... we give them away... most all of our materials are donated by generous vendors... and we have so many great stories to tell because we do it all anonymously... This great project teaches the students all about service... all about... helping out those in need that may have a tough time getting Christmas for their family... We help many children's organizations with this project for their clients... I am sending two pictures, but i ask that you don't post it because we wish to remain anonymous in our venture... The dowels we ordered we used for the cradles and the 3/4 mushroom plugs.. we have a lady paint the eyes for the rocking horses... Thanx for your product... Merry Christmas!!!
