Tipping my Hat to lady in Wyoming

 Thank you unknown knitter from Wyoming.  5 nice warm crocheted hats, and 8 squares.  This picture turned out a bit dark, but I hope you can see the Buckeye Colors for 3 of the hats, camo for the other 2; and the squares are a dark brown and the colorful variegated.  I appreciate your thoughtful donation.  No note accompanied this donation so if you're out there, please sing out so I add your name etc to our list of helping hands.  There was a return address so I know it's from Wyoming, but would like to have additional information.

    I love the fact that some donations come with no names. Their contributions serve others but not themselves. Those no names give but ask nothing in return....

    Of course names are good too!

    Nice donation! I love the Buckeye colored hats. I wonder if that was done intentionally or just a coincidence.

    I love this donation especially since the some of the colors represent the Buckeye state. Sandy I know you like to thank the donator but I agree with Janet, some people just like to donate without being acknowledged. It probably means a lot to them.

    The problem is ladies many join our group because they've been disgruntled from other groups because they never know if their donations have arrived. I can't tell you the number of emails I get from people who tell that. It's not even that I like to thank them here on line. I have no way of telling them their donation even arrived, so they don't know if what they thought they were doing, actually got done. Additionally, I spend hours looking through all my on line groups, through all emails, searching facebook and twitter etc, it takes time that I could be doing other things, so I ask even if they wish to be anonymous here on the blog to put a note in their donations so I don't have to spend all that time looking. This way, I feel like I'm spinning my wheels because I don't know....if they know, their donations made it.
