Tile #12...warming another heart

This tile has been found twice; the first recipient emailed us and then placed it in a new spot.  See the first recipient.

Hello –

On Saturday, March 30^th, my two running friends and I found your tile #12 at a Starbucks in Charlotte, NC located at the corner of Ardrey Kell and Rea Roads.  We had just finished a run and were surprised to find this tile waiting for us.  Two of us have upcoming travels and will take it with us when we go places.

Attached is a picture of my two children – Andrew (4 yrs old) and Mary (15 months old) – “playing” with the tile.  They are not the type to sit still for a picture.  Andrew says that playing outside in the water warms his heart.  Mary doesn’t talk much but if she did, I suspect she would say that imitating her brother and eating both warm her heart (she’s recovering from a face-first dive into a cement driveway).

Look for tile #12 to make some other travels around the Southern US.

 

Found it in my mail slot in Fort Mill, SC. Picture #1 in Commerce, GA after a 5Guys lunch.

Tile #50...warming another heart

This tile has been found four times, with the recipients placing the tiles again.  See previous recipients.

To Mrs. Wilkerson's  class,

Tile #50. I found the tile on my desk at work this morning. What a wonderful way to start my day! I have been going through some hard times recently. In the same week my brother passed away, and I found out my mother has cancer. Finding this gift this morning really touched my heart.  This is such an amazing project. So many people showing they care about one another. What warms my heart is my family, wonderful friends, my 3 year old daughter telling me she loves me, and this tile. Thank you to the very special person who sent this tile to me. I cannot wait to pass this tile on to someone special to me, and for them to feel the same way I did when I received it!


Thank you,

Gina Willard

Tiles #12 and #25

Hi There!  My family found two of your classes tiles at Buffalo Wild Wings in Grand Blanc.  My Mom found tile #25 on the counter in the ladies bathroom.  My daughter Hannah (she's 9), found tile #12 on the bench in the entrance way on our way out.  We were having a big family celebration for my neice Niki's birthday.  Well, my daughters and I live in North Carolina. We were visiting the second week of February.   So we thought we'd help your tiles get some miles and we brought them home with us.  I unfortunately forgot all about them until I was cleaning out one of our travel bags.  So this week, I will be placing these tiles somewhere in our city of Charlotte.  I hope some nice people find them and carry your experiment on!  I've attached a picture of our entire family after we found your tiles.

Oh, almost forgot!  Do you want to know what warms my heart? Doing something nice for a friend or family member.  Nothing warms my heart like making someones day a little brighter.

Good Luck!

To Mrs. Wilkerson's class,
Heart #50.  I found the tile in my mail box. When I picked it up I instantly got a big smile on my face. I feel truly blessed that someone actually thought of me to share in this experience.  I too like the last recipient of this heart recently lost someone very special to me. I will be passing this heart on to a very special individual that I know can use it as I did.  I am hoping this will help keep their spirits up and to always remember that they are loved and thought about every day and they are never alone.  Thank you for this amazing and wonderful project!
Thank you,

Hello Mrs. Wilkerson's class!!

My name is Lucy and I am a dog.  I found tile #27 while I was out playing in the snow in my back yard!!  Here is a picture of me with the tile!  Something that warms my heart is going to the dog park where I can run around and chase tennis balls!


Thanks for making me the happiest dog in Grand Blanc!!!

Tile #95..warming another heart

This tile has been found three times; the first two recipients have placed the tile in new spots.  See previous recipients.

Hi kids,

My name is Terry Cheyney.  I live in Lapeer, Michigan.  It's not too far from where you live in Grand Blanc.  Maybe some of you have even been to Lapeer.

I live with my wife Diane, her mother (Sara) and my two dogs Rocky and Buddy.  How many of you have pets?

I found tile number 95 at a store called The B Hive in Goodrich.  I have a booth there that you and your family are welcome to visit.  The nice lady who owns the store gave the tile to me.

I think the things that warm my heart more than anything are my family, children and pets.

I've been blessed with a wonderful family that I love very much.  Their successes are mine.

Children warm my heart because everything is new to you.  You're eager to learn, and open to new ideas.  You love easily.

I love animals because they don't care if you had a good day or a bad day.  They just love you.

My advice to you is to try new things and find things in life that you enjoy and take the time to enjoy them.  Read more, love your family (they love you very much) and go outside more!

I hope you have as much fun with your project as I have!

Your friend,

Terry Cheyney

Tile #43

I found your tile at Starbucks in Grand Blanc.  I brought it home and shared it with my two children, Asher (age 6) and Ayla (age 3).  Asher thinks it is "super cool" and wants to take it to his school in Hartland, MI to share with his 1st grade class, and Ayla, says "It is beautiful."  Thank you for sharing your wonderful artwork and love with us.  Keep working hard for Mrs. Wilkerson and always read, read, read!!

What a heart warming surprise when Claudia at Baskets Plus gave our store The B Hive in Goodrich heart #95.

We too have passed this tile along to a Vendor of ours headed to Cleveland! Hope to see another post soon!

Thanks for warming our hearts!

Tile #95

Hi,

This is Claudia from Baskets Plus.  We found heart #95 outside our door one morning.  What a nice surprise.  It warms our heart to see people being kind to one another. I sent a picture a few minutes ago from my phone.

 

You should be hearing from someone else soon because I just passed it on!

Have fun and be kind!

Tile #76

I found Tile #76 at Panera Bread in Grand Blanc.  What warmed my heart was this tile!  I am a former Reid Elementary student and I am also a third grade teacher in Holly.  I saw your heart tile sitting on the table when I went in to Panera on Valentine's Day morning.  I shared my special tile with my third graders that day.  Right now it sits on my desk in my classroom- it makes me smile each day.

Tile #64...warming for a second time

This tile has been found twice; the first recipient emailed us and then placed it in a new spot. See the first recipient. 

I found tile #64 in the chip rack at Subway. I was a litle hesitant to pick it up thinking someone had accidentally left it there. I'm glad I did. I've already passed this idea on to one of my favorite local elementary school teachers. She loved the idea. In fact, I think I'll pass the tile on to her and it can move from Grand Blanc to Millington (if that is ok).

Like many others, it warms my heart to know that people are willing to donate their time in placing these tiles for the children in Mrs. Wilkerson's class.  I can only imagine their reactions in seeing where the tiles have popped up.

Also, seeing my husband play with our almost 2 year old son warms my heart on a daily basis.  They are so cute together. This picture is my son's dinosaur that he takes "dinosour steps" with.  He loves running around the house with (or without) the dinosaur and ramming into things or just driving it around.

Thank you for this wonderful project you are doing.

I found tile #89 at the Mcfarlen library. What warms my heart is reading a book and hot chocolate.

Tile #1

I found Tile #1 at Vidcam in our mail chute.  Creative teachers and students who
who find unique learning opportunities warm my heart.  I am passing the tile on to warm someone else's heart!

Tile #2

I received tile #2 by the front door of my Agency.  It warms my heart to know that no matter how bad the news is – there are always good people ready and willing to help and support those in need.

Tile #80

I received tile #80 by the back door of my State Farm Insurance Agency.  It warms my heart to see people volunteering their time, getting involved in their communities, and supporting their local businesses.  I couldn’t be a business owner without the support of the Grand Blanc Community – thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Tile #83

Nothing warms our hearts more than a delicious Cup of Starbucks coffee.

Tile #98

We found heart #98 outside our door at Regional Cardiology Associates.  We were so excited to find this beautiful tile on Valentine’s Day!  Our patients’ hearts warm our hearts at Regional Cardiology Associates, and we’re going to share tile #98 with another lucky someone to spread the joy!   Thanks to Mrs. Wilkerson’s class for including us in this heart-warming project!

Tile #36

Mrs. Wilkerson and students,

Hello.  My name is Annette Beckman.  I work at Regional Cardiology.  I found tile #36 at the front door of our building on Monday morning.  The doctors I work for are responsible for taking care of patients hearts.  I think that this was a perfect place to leave tile #36. The heart on the tile is beautiful and it made me smile when I saw it. It warms my heart when I can make someone smile.  We work with patients who sometimes don't feel well and it's nice to be able to see them smile.  What a fun project.  I can't wait to read the blog.  I decided to leave the tile at another location.  I'm sure it will make whoever finds it smile too.

To Mrs. Wilkerson's class:

I found the tile at my front doorstep on Valentine's Day. What warmed my heart is that it was perfect for the situation I was going through. In the previous 2 weeks one of my best friends had passed away, My home was broken into, and my oldest child was admitted to the hospital with what we know now is a serious illness. I felt completely lost and forgotten. Then I found the tile. I wondered what it was, then I flipped it over and read it. I got the hugest smile, knowing that someone had thought of me and suddenly I felt so much better. This is a great project, and I chose to keep it going. I will be passing the warm heart on. I have the perfect person in mind.

Thank you,

Tom Dieck

Tile #68

The number on the tile is 68. I found the tile in the lobby of Genesys Medical Center, in Grand Blanc, I am a employee in the emergency dept, third shift. What warms my heart is watching my children grow into young adults, watching them become their own person, the process is amazing. I love that I found this tile on Valentine's Day, it made me smile. I would love to keep it, but I am going to leave it for someone else to find and hope it puts a smile on their face and warms their heart like it did for me. Thank you 68.

Tile #70

Dear Mrs. Wilkerson's Class,
We found tile #70 outside of Grand Blanc Florist on Presidents' Day.  It was such a fun filled surprise!  We think your class is so special for spreading warmth throughout Grand Blanc.  What warms our hearts are days off when we can hang out together and make special memories together as a family.
Tile #70 will be tucked away in a new spot to warm another heart!
Brady & Quinn

Tile #23

Mrs. Wilkerson and classroom,

 

   I noticed tile 23 at the Genesys Athletic Club Banquet Center on a table.  I was going to turn it into lost and found but after reading the heartful message warmed my heart and reminded me of my children when they where in school.  I decided to play along, very nice idea. I will be putting this tile somewhere else in the community for someone else to find and post.  I'm not able to provide a picture at this time and hopefully the next person will be able to provide a photo.

We found the tile in our mailbox and it was such a pleasant and fun surprise! It warms my heart to know the children are working on a project such as this, and I hope it helps them to realize they can warm the heart of a stranger with a simple gesture! Dustin, pictured with the tile (#27) said his heart is warmed by family and with thoughts of spring when he can sit outside and see the folks he has missed all summer. Thank you to the class of Mrs. Wilkerson for taking the time to bring a smile to the face of their neighbors!

Dear Mrs. Wilkerson and class...I found my heart tile (#42)  in the Chapel at Genesys Hospital.  My shift just ended and I went to the Chapel to spend some time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and pray...How happy I was to find your heart tile...It truly warmed my heart and made my Valentine's Day! What else warms my heart is being surrounded by my kids, all 5 of them, especially around the dinner table, laughing, sharing and connecting with each one of them.... pure and simple LOVE, that is what life is all about.

Tile #3

WarmHeart #3 was found at Genesys Regional Medical Center in the Atrium. Having my two grandsons attending Reid Elementary is what warms my heart.  They love their school, teachers and friends. I'm thankful  for the wonderful staff who teach and encourage them.

Tile #39

Dear Mrs. Wilkerson's Class - and especially the child who chose me,

Thank you so much for leaving Heart Tile #39 for me at the front door of my needlepoint shop, Homestead Needle Arts at 8185 Holly Road in the Grand Ridge Galleria shopping center.  

First let me say that you have made me feel very welcome here!  Your gesture of leaving the tile as a gift was very heartwarming!

On Valentine's Day I was in the process of getting my shop ready to open as I have moved it from Saginaw Street.  My husband has been helping me by hanging hardware on the walls at the shop.  He found the tile outside the door and thought it was something I had dropped!   I read the back of the tile and found that one of you had included me in your 100 Warm Hearts Project.  Thank you!

The things that I find the most heartwarming in life include my husband, my dog Star (who helps at the shop), my sisters and brothers - I have five siblings! - and my hobbies of which needlepoint is only one.  I like to stitch just about anything, read, knit, bike and fish.  I wish all of you the very best things in life and thank you again for choosing me to participate in your project.

Tile #7

We found the #7 tile at the front door of the Comfort Inn! He had a fun day in the pool. Here at the Comfort Inn, we love to see our guests smiling. It really warms our heart! Thank you Mrs. Wilkerson's class! 

Tile #13

Dear Mrs. Wilkerson,

   Thank you so much for leaving #13 tile @ Fitzone.  We found it on our check-in counter so every member also enjoyed it. It truly warmed our hearts to be remembered on Valentines Day! We always warm our hearts with jumping jacks so this was a nice treat :) I'm sorry I can't send a picture of our special #13 tile but we will keep it on our counter for the rest of the month.

Thank you so much!
All the Ladies at Fitzone !

Tile #27

We found tile #27 on our doorstep at Royal Gardens Flowers in Grand Blanc on Valentine's morning 2/14/13. What warms our hearts is seeing the smiles on people faces when they receive a beautiful bouquet letting them know someone is thinking of them! We are hoping our tile travels all over warming many people's hearts participating in this fun project!
