I just received an email from my youngest daughter asking if I could make something to raffle off at the SCAD 5k she and her family will be attending in August. What is SCAD you might ask, it is spontaneous coronary artery dissection. This is a heart attack that occurs mostly in young women caused by a tear in an artery that causes blockage and blood flow to the heart muscles. This leads to a heart attack. My daughter had a heart attack right after she had her last baby. For a few months they had no idea why she had a heart attack. She went to the Mayo clinic to be tested and the found out that this was the cause. So, I will be looking for ideas of something to make about hearts or being a survivor so they can have it raffled off. Any ideas?

Actually something to do with the heart is the type of thing I will probably do.

Can you make heart-shaped little pillows? Sort of like about the size of a throw pillow, or maybe a little smaller? I'm sure Pinterest would have a lot of good ideas for you; unfortunately, I'm not the most creative person around.

I think a hart shaped throw pillow might be something that will be good for a raffle. Maybe with a saying about being a survivor.

That's a very good cause. I'm not crafty, so I really don't know what you could make. Do you sew? You could make a pillow in the shape of a heart with a saying on it.

I do sew. That is another great idea. I even have a heart shaped pillow form just waiting to be used.

I can't think of anything original. Would there be any ideas on Pinterest or one of those type of sites? Maybe see what comes up on Pixabay?

It is. My daughter and he husband are very involved in this cause. It too a while for the doctors to find out what had cause her heart attack. She had a second one before she went to the Mayo Clinic.
