What are we all doing, and what are we doing it for? Sometimes you need a little perspective, and thanks to Derek May
of the Drawing Dreams Foundation I was happy to have that perspective back. eco-kids partnered with Drawing
Dreams to deliver our natural art supplies to 25 pediatric hospitals around the country. When Derek asked us to work
with him it was a "you had me at hello" moment. eco-kids is trying so hard to build a sustainable business right now in a
very tough economy. Our focus is constantly on sales, purchase orders, product development, and prepping for the
New York International Gift Fair in August. Cammie and I went down to NYC to meet with FAO Shwartz, and look at our
products in the store. All though a great experience, the hiccups to overcome started fueling my negative thoughts.
Add in a little bit of anxiety and feeling like I was going to faint, all could happen when you build a business from
scratch. It is always on the line... We shipped eco-art pads and eco-crayons to 24 hospitals and hand delivered the
25th donation to Maine Medical Center here in Portland. I took the elevator to the 6th floor and after being buzzed into
the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital wing, the normally bland walls of the hospital turned in to an array of color and
life. This hospital is sentimental to me. My daughter, who has Down Syndrome and is easily susceptible to pneumonia,
has spent some long nights in this wing. The staff and nurses are so caring and selfless. It was great to see how well
the children were being cared for, with anything to help them smile. I walked around wishing I was Michael Clark
Duncan in "the Green Mile" wanting to hug every child and then have magic bees take away there illness or pain.
When I was leaving I couldn't stop thinking about how important it was to be PARTICIPATING in life, and for me in
Drawing Dreams. Those "problems" led me to working with Drawing Dreams. Is it really a "problem" or just an
adjustment in perspective?

for the wonderful donation of 40 boxes of eco-kids crayons and eco-art pads for our patients and families. Play is the
work of children and your generosity provides a means by which the entire family may share in the joy of play and
expressive art therapies, forgetting for a moment that they are in a medical center. On Behalf of the pediatric family at
Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity. It is the spirit of giving
that makes a lasting, positive impression on pediatric families working to overcome life's stressful events.

On behalf of the children and families we care for here at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, we would like to thank you for
your thoughtful and generous donation of eco-friendly drawing materials. These items will help us not only provide
good medical care, but good emotional care, as well. We are always thankful and touched by people who realize that
being in the hospital can be an overwhelming and frightening experience for anyone, especially a child. We are so
grateful for the people in our community who have big hearts and want to help. The extra support that is offered to our
kids and their families certainly help them to recover more quickly and have positive experiences during their hospital
stay. When people such as you act with graciousness, share your generosity and speak from your heart, smiles fill the
hospital on a daily basis. Thank you again for sharing your kind spirit.

Thank you all for the donation of eco-art pads and crayons, which you gave to Kentucky Children's Hospital. The art
pads and crayons are being given to children who can benefit from coloring activities. This is a popular activity as well,
because it is active without being strenuous. The crayons are very interesting. One child refused to use them, because
she did not want to change their shape. She really liked their "rock" appearance. The hospital can be a very scary
place for a child. Often the children and families will feel isolated in an unfamiliar environment. Coloring can help
patients cope several ways. It can give children a sense of control and it can help bridge the familiar with the unfamiliar.
Coloring provides a distraction and helps build pleasant memories of the care they received at the Kentucky Children's
Hospital. Thank you again for the donation. We greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity toward our
patients and families.

you all continued to find time, energy, and love to donate to the patients and families here at Cook. All the busyness
this time of year makes each donation given to the patients and families more special!! You are unique as you continue
to be giving in spite of the heat and in spite of other commitments. Your gifts of things like time while you shop for just

each material item are valued! Thank you so much for your support! We truly appreciate you!
