Hello Pea Friends! It has been another year of the Pea Love project which began in June 2018. For those of you who haven't heard of the Pea Love Project, it all began with a beautiful idea from allipeas . She wanted to let our fellow peas know we are supporting them as they face a cancer scare or battle. A very generous group of peas were quick to donate and the packages began going out. While we wish there was never a need for these packages, we did send out an additional 7 packages in the last 12 months. This brings the total to 28. I feel safe in speaking for everyone, that we hope the recipients recover fully and that they know how much we care about them. Hopefully, these little packages bring a smile. I feel very honored to be a small part of this great project. A HUGE thank you to the following peas that made it all happen: allipeas , KelleeM, jenjie , peasapie , snyder , nlwilkins , itschance , River, papercrafteradvocate , leeny , PenandInk , freeatlast , gmcwife1 , 61redhead , lisaknits , seasidemermaid , camcas , PrettyInPeank , maryannscraps , Montannie , flanz , Nanner , and scrappert To the peas who have received a package, I'm sending a big hug to each of you, along with my warmest wishes!  |

peasquared this project wouldn’t have come to be without your support. I simply donated. You lovingly package and ship out each one. Please let me know if you need more supplies and I will gladly contribute.

I am happy to have been a tiny little part of this. I know I would have loved a Pea love reminder when I was going through chemo and radiation. The Peas are awesome and you’re a great Peas peasquared! |

I ❤️ that this is done! The Peas, especially the group that organized this, are a wonderful bunch.
I’m a Long time but seldom posting pea, so I know the drama and crazy that is a part of Pea-land, but oh there is so much good!

I have the items y'all sent me on a shelf above my monitor so I can see them every day. And think of how wonderful y'all are and supportive you are in both my cancer battle and now in my new life as a widow. Gives a smile to my heart.  |

You are too kind, seasidemermaid ! Thank you! We're doing well with supplies and funds, so far, but thank you!! As one of the first recipients - my husband’s Facebook memory yesterday that the app put up was the photo of my boys shaving my head when my hair started falling out 3 years ago - I can’t tell you how much that care package meant to me. Those peas - and thereby all of you real life peas - were with me at every chemotherapy session. 🥰 You, peasquared, and allipeas have truly made a difference for so many woman as they walk that difficult and sometimes scar path that is cancer and it’s treatment. This sounds sappy, but I honestly feel blessed to have you both - and the rest of the supportive peas - in my life. |

elaine, that is beautiful. You are beautiful! Thank you! I am so thankful you are feeling good! You are important to this board and especially to me.  I want to thank you for all the help you have given the peas over the years. Helping them know what to expect, what to ask, and to know they are not alone. I love this project, it has brought so many people together. We have the best group of people here on this board!

First let me make a correction. peasquared you are NOT in ANY way a small part of this project. You my dear pea friend are the heart and soul of it! I cannot tell you how it makes my heart burst with happiness to know that the Love Project has brought comfort to those of you who needed it. It hurts me so much that we even have to have a need for this project. Having been the lone caretaker for two immediate family members in their cancer battles has made me an ass-kicker towards cancer. For all of the crazy stuff that goes on with the Peas, you ladies have THE MOST amazing hearts and are always SO quick to help those in need. Like I always tell my kids.....Teamwork makes the dream work!!!! |

It's amazing how we (the Peas) have come to mean so much to people we have never met! LOL We are ALWAYS here for you! |

As a recent recipient, I carry my bookmark and my pea-pod with me to chemo. I showed them to the nurses and they were all over the little peas. Thank you again to everyone who has made this happen. |

Please let me know if you need more supplies and I will gladly contribute. I couldn’t figure out how to say it, but yes. Making a donation is easy. Staying on top of this project, consistently looking out and packaging and sending these pea bundles of love is… just thank you for taking on this labor of love. |

This wouldn't be an on-going project without allipeas great idea and all the donations that were sent, so quickly. We're still doing ok with our fund, but thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the offers. I only post this update so everyone knows the project is still on-going and that I'm accountable for their generous donations. I'd like to also thank Delta Dawn, for her help in keeping me aware of peas in need. I LOVE this place!!  |
