{Day 312 (On the 1st Day of Christmas)}

“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree.”

The first day of the Christmas project is here!

For the next 12 days 12 amazing women will be modeling a look inspired by the days from the song The 12 Days of Christmas AND pledging to try and raise $1,000 dollars for the orphans by the end of the year.  I know they would all love your help.  Enjoy!

There is no better way to start than with this lovely lady Heather.  She has been a complete joy to work with.  I didn’t know her until a few weeks ago when a friend put her in touch with me but she jumped right in.  Heather thank you so much for your enthusiasm to help me bless these orphans.  I’m very grateful that you are a part of this and I’m excited to get to know you better!  Since Heather’s day has a partridge we went for muted browns and of course we needed a juicy pear and a tree!  I think she makes a very pretty model!

Name: Heather Shields
Age: 21
State: California
Activity/hobbies: Acting, reading, writing, drawing, dancing, fencing, doing volunteer work, having tea parties, and going on random adventures.
Favorite Christmas move: White Christmas (I love the dancing!)
Why you wanted to be a part of the project: I often get so wrapped up in the holiday season that I tend to forget the many people around the world who not only do not have the means to spend the season in comfort but don’t have any family to share it with. This organization helps provide this comfort and sense of love and family to young orphans, who may never have had a home of the own or who may never experienced what it is to have a family and be loved. It is such an honor to be a part of what Warm Blankets and Elaini are doing for these children, and I pray that their support and the small contribution I made provide a bit of comfort this season and throughout the year to these children who are so deserving and dear.
