Well done Valerie, very much deserved for all your hard work and consistent inspiration to others.  I'm sure all the children you are helping will agree - you should feel very very proud xx

You must all think that I'm terribly ungrateful, but I really had no idea about this. I have just this moment come back from my weekly session with the Entente Cordiale knitters and crocheters. When I walked in Gill, the organiser, said "Someone's in the news  today" and handed me a print out of the news of the April Square Heart Award recipient. I was flabbergasted and extremely touched. I've never won an award in my life, and I feel that being chosen for the Square Heart Award is the best thing I can imagine and something that really moves me deeply. I love belonging to the KAS community because of what it has taught me and because of the contact I have with all the fantastic members. We, all of us, are Square Heart awardees because of the time and love we try to give these children. we don't know them and will never know them individually, but we want to love and cherish them and give them some dignity. A gigantic hug to you all.

P.S. My very supportive husband says that I really must change my profile photo. There's nothing like being brought back to Earth!!

Valerie, that is part of the fun of the Square Heart Award - to see just how long it takes someone to spot it!  Must admit though - you are in the lead!  Haha and double haha!

Valerie, this is a hoot!  We all knew as soon as the KAS Snippets came out.  Thank you for being so focused.

I am so glad that you finally found out about your award, Valerie! I was actually a little worried when we didn't hear from you. What a wonderful story this makes, though. Far from seeming ungrateful, it shows how modest you are. Again, congratulations for this very well deserved award!

You're all so lovely and your comments make me feel warm all over. One of my secret desires has always been to have someone throw a surprise party for my birthday. But this award and the way I found out is even better. And, as I said before, we're all great big square hearts.
