Shopping for Socks

Many thanks, Sue F and Sherry. Both ladies sent checks awhile back to help me with my sock shopping excursions. Putting the 3 of us together I was able to pick up these nice heavy socks the other day, notice the bonus! Each package normally has 6 pairs of socks, but they had a special for a 7th pair of socks free. AND, they were on sale at Kohl's so I was able to buy a 3rd package...sweet, 21 pairs of warmer dryer feet. Appreciate your help ladies. This is another example of what we do as a team. The money we each put in goes farther when we three pool our money...Thank you all.

What, when did you donate? Could yours be one of the unidentified donations?

Take a look at the 3 lists of helping hands here on the blog, the list of those who donate who have blogs, the list of those who have a facebook, RAV, Hive, Crochetville page who donate, and the list of those who donate who don't blog or have profile pages (and or haven't sent them to me). Are you listed? If so, is there a state listed next to your name? If not, please leave a comment telling me what state your from so it can be added to the map. We want you and your state represented. Scroll to the bottom of the blog, take a look at the map. Would love to add to it. Look at the percentage, maybe we can grow it? Did you not find your name on any of the 3 lists, but you've donated? PLEASE take a look at the 4th list...the unidentified donations list. Click on the list and you'll see the blog post where items were received without notes, without my being able to match to someone who blogs, or belongs to one of the groups I do, or someone in my emails. Please help us complete these lists. Maybe, you have a facebook page I don't have listed? Send me your link, maybe you've started blogging after you donated, let's get it added.

All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated, and all donations keep someone warm. We help, one stitch at a time. YOU truly DO make a difference. THANK YOU!
