the heart project

There’s a MILLION reasons to donate to the American Heart Association.  You might have several reasons yourself.  When I think of the AHA …

  • I think of my grandfather who passed way too early due to a heart attack.
  • I think of my sweet 87 year old neighbor, Bill, that is the hospital right now, after suffering a mild heart attack.
  • I think of sweet Delaney Rose, a friend’s daughter, born last March with 3 heart defects … who just lost her tenacious battle this January.

Jamie, amazing mom blogger at hands on: as we grow, thinks about her husband’s 4 year old cousin, Ellie.  Ellie was born with a congenital heart defect, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).  She has had multiple open heart surgeries … and she will need more.

So, to support this beautiful little girl, Jamie put together an amazing project … The Heart Project … to raise funds for the American Heart Association.


The Heart Project consists of over 100 projects from over 70 bloggers around the world that have collaborated to make a beautiful book of heart projects. Each of the projects in it that are heart-related and kid-related; they are either made by the kids, for the kids, and about kids. The book includes projects to create, cook, play with, and display in your home!

By making a $5 (or more!) donation to the AHA, you will receive an eBook of this amazing collection of photographed heart projects for free.  The eBook has links almost all of the heart projects to a tutorial on the blog that contributed to the book.  It will only be offered throughout the month of February, so place your order soon. (once you place your donation you will be taken to a page to download the eBook)

Hard copies of the book are also available.  This paperback printed version includes a collective index in the back allowing supporters to check out each of the blogs that contributed to the book.
