Hello everyone and thank you for your interest to take part in this unique endeavor!
The Adventures of the Traveling Doll
have begun!
She is a WoolCreations Doll. Her name is Hope. Hope will be sent
into the world on an adventurous journey. Her goal is to visit children
all over the world, starting out right here in North Carolina, where
she was born. Hope will leave here with a “passport” that should get
“stamped” for proof of where she traveled to, a suitcase that may be
filled with small gifts for the doll given by the children Hope stayed
with, and a journal that hopefully will be filled over time with
encouraging words, memories and wishes.
Hope’s goal is to bring some unique and happy moments into children’s
lives. Children who are not as fortunate or who need some special
attention brought to them.
I want Hope to visit Children Hospitals, Orphanages and other places devoted to the care of children.
Doing this I need help!
I need volunteer families that would like to invite Hope for a visit
and bring her to those children. Families that have a connection to or
have been touched by those children in need.
The hosting family will take pictures of Hope’s adventures and be
responsible to post the story of her visit on Hope’s very own blog.
“The Adventures of the traveling doll".
Making it possible for others to read and follow Hope on her wonderful journey.
Please contact me via email
adventuresofthetravelingdoll@woolcreations.com
if you are interested in hosting a visit of the traveling doll.
Tell me where you would like to take her to bring joy to children.
Very important for all of this to work is:
If you volunteer in this wonderful endeavor I need to ask of you that
you are willing and able to continue sending this doll on to her next
destination (which will be provided to you) or back to me. The doll has
to be sent via USPO mail (at least) with delivery confirmation and
insured up to $200.00 to ensure safe delivery. The doll should not stay
in one place longer then two weeks, exceptions are possible.
After one year of traveling around the world Hope, her passport, her
suitcase with clothing and her journal will be raffled off as a set.
100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Shriners Children Hospitals

I am planning to offer raffling tickets on www.Hyenacart.com/woolcreations once Hope returns from her journey and a winner will be drawn from all entries. I don’t want to start a raffle before, because sometimes things happen that we don’t have influence over. I would not like to have to reimburse all money because Hope has not returned or is held in customs.
I would like to continue this as a WoolCreations tradition. Year
after year I would like to send Hope into the world, to draw attention
to the needs of our children.
Even though I can only have a small impact on the needs of our
children, I know that with the help of many a lot of things are
possible.
