Hearties Celebrate Brian Bird’s Birthday with “Pot Stirrers” Project
by Sheri DiGiovanna, Webmaster
Brian Bird, producer and writer of When Calls the Heart and notorious master “pot stirrer” on the Hearties FB page (by way of delicious, exclusive never-before-seen pictures and puzzles for upcoming episodes and events) receives a birthday package from the #Hearties and responded in thanks with the following message and video:
#Hearties… you ROCK! Honored to announce we’ve just crossed the 15,000-member threshold! Not only that… here’s my video thank you for a very special birthday package that arrived for me yesterday! You DOUBLE ROCK!
This great project (a Pot Full of Hearties’ favorite quotes complete with a spoon for stirring!) was hosted by Hearties Jody Blosser and Sandy Vasey (through our Facebook Page group) as a top secret event for his birthday gift.
Here are some pictures of the pot that Sandy Vasey designed for us… from different sides:
Inspired by the show with the same attribute, there’s a special love and support generated by the Hearties. 360 degree graciousness, love and thanks among the #Hearties, crew and cast are exemplified in our group on a daily basis — as demonstrated by the following posts during and after the project:
“I just want to take a few minutes to thank Cheryl Pruett and Mayra Blanco for all the help today making #Hearties cards! we made over 50 cards today! And had a blast making them… while we watched episodes of When Calls the Heart! You can see some cards in progress on the table… we added embellishments to all the cards we made.” — Jody Blosser with Cheryl Martin Pruett thanking the #Hearties
And all the while, the Hearties thank Jody et al during this project as evidenced by the following two posts:
“I just want to thank everyone for the kind words, thank you notes, and letters you sent with your pot stirrer cards! Your They take up a big chunk of the wall in my living room!” -Jody Blosser
Posted by Ellen Pretorius, “From all the Hearties, a big THANK YOU for all the work that has gone into this! Jody, Cheryl, Mayra and Sandy”
Similar to our String of Hearts project, there was even a hand extended to those who are unable to join in the project for whatever reason (this grateful webmaster included this time!). Here are a few of the cards Jody Bosser made for others (click for larger view):
In closing, I couldn’t say it any better than our gracious admins have done with the following:
“Sandy Vasey , Jody Blosser , Cheryl Martin Pruett , Mayra Blanco, Heidi Brooks, Beth Pranke and Beth Snipe Richards — WELL DONE, LADIES! The Pot Stirrers event was a huge success. Thank you for coordinating it; it was clearly a huge success both for the #Hearties who gave and for the #Heartie who received.”
–On behalf of all the Admins — Allyson, Camille, Debi, Marisa and Susan.
Sheri I didn’t thank you for all you do. I do appreciate all the help you have been. Thank you.
Margaret
I was to new to understand what they were doing with the string of Hearts so happy I could participate in this event. To the #Hearties that took care of this project you are all awesome. Where would we be without you and Brian Bird, cast, crew, and Hallmark. One more big THANK YOU with a BOOM!
