GOLD at the end of The Rainbow

I'm betting you can't list all the colors in the rainbow of colors above! I'm pretty sure I can't, but ohhhhhhhhhhhh look. Like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, this beautiful display of colorful cotton washcloths (30) donated by Theresa S in California is like gold....or will be to those who receive them. Round ones, square one, and truly every color possible. LOVELY. Please be sure and click on the photo to enlarge it so you can really see all these awesome colors. Beautiful work and so thoughtful Theresa. Many thanks for your thoughtful donation. Some of you may know her from Rav as Poohmama. Keep up the good work, it's truly appreciated.

Colorful Help from Springfield

First let me say, I'm sorry the quality of this picture isn't good. I must have moved when I snapped this. I would retack, but by the time this is in que the washcloths have already been delivered. These wonderful 19 crocheted cotton wash cloths were graciously donated by Jennifer S, a fellow Ohioan. Many thanks Jennifer. I love the fun shapes and colors.

A for an Excellent Donation

Thank you Alexis in Florida. A for an excellent donation of goodies. Alexis was feeling patriotic and made Red, White, and Blue Squares knowing squares were our July focus. NICE! She crocheted her first ever washcloth too, awesome. Ponchos (8) for the rainy times, that we seem to have an abundance of, razors (20) and deodorants (6) to add to the person care packages. She also sent along some regular (4) washcloths.

Thank you for thoughtful donation, Alexis, it's very much appreciated.

Some of this and some of that! Great Donation

Thank you Theresa M. from Michigan. What a nice donation this is. 4 Darling pair of warm mittens that kids are going to love, 4 hats of varying sizes, 2 pair of cute slippers, and 9 cotton washcloths. The washcloth's are such fun colors! I keep saying this as these wonderful cloths come in the mail, but I've not seen such nice cotton or so many interesting color combinations. I really am in need of searching this out.

Many thanks Theresa for your on going support and friendship. Both are so much appreciated.

Fresh and Pretty

Don't these colors make you think and feel fresh! They sure do me. And in practical purposes that's just what they'll do. Whomever receives these pretty crocheted cotton washcloths donated by Gail B will feel fresh, pretty and "special". How can you beat that? You know yourself when hot, tired, feeling low how good a shower or bath feels. Those in need in the shelters have those same feelings, only more so. They'll be given hand made (knitted and crocheted) cotton washcloths made special for them, so naturally, that will make them feel "special".

Thank you Gail for your on going support and beautifully crafted items, they are always so appreciated. Keep up the good work one and all. You all make a difference in someones life, even if you don't them, and don't get to see them.

Helping Ohio's Homeless in so many ways

Thank you Yvonne S for your continued support and thoughtful donation. It's through continued hard work and caring hearts like yours we're able to help so many people in need. Wonderful donations like this make me feel like it's Christmas everyday of the year. People take time and make something with yarn with their knitting needles or crochet hooks, they often add extra goodies like above. These personal care items will be greatly appreciated by our folks under the bridges, by the men, women, and children at the various shelters connected to Faith Mission.

Thank you for your donation of 6 cotton cloths, 14 bars of soap, 12 razors, 5 deodorants, 5 shampoos, 5 toothpaste's, and 8 toothbrushes.

I've not specifically listed all the personal care items in our tallies of items collected, anyone have strong feelings as to whether or not I should?
