Donations from Minnesota, The North Star State

Wonderful, wonderful. Look at this fabulous donation from our good friend, Liz (minnisoda on The Ville). A beautiful stripped ripple afghan. These colors are awesome together. The size is good for a teen or adult. 5 wonderful warm hats, 2 awesome scarves (super soft), and a nice cotton wash cloth. Many many thanks Liz E...your on going support is greatly appreciated.
And....wait, I'm not done folks. Look at 3 fabulous afghans. A wonderful and colorful afghan suitable for a family ghan, a nice blue and white some little guy is going to like, and one for a toddler...who's color doesn't show up here well in the picture. Sorry to say, cause it's not white, it's a nice green and blue. These afghans will be wonderful house warming gifts for our families at The Homeless Families Foundation for Project Welcome Home. (if you've not read the details of that folks, please do...click the house badge in the side bar).

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
