For these patients, nothing says Christmas like ornaments made with love
For the past three years, the Cumberland Valley Woodcarvers Club in Chambersburg, Pa., has teamed up with the “Elves of Hope” each Christmas season to provide gift bags to cancer patients going through chemotherapy. A 2017 patient favorite was handcarved ornaments. Last year, the Woodcarvers Club made a total of 70 ornaments; some patterns they designed and some, said representative Kim Hykes, came from “their favorite woodcarving magazine…Woodcarving Illustrated!”
