Hats and Scarves Fabulous Donation

Looks at these wonderful hats and scarves, sets and separates. So nicely made. I love the size of your scarves Diana, nice and long and wide that makes them so much warmer for folks. Great adult and or teen sizing.

Many thanks Diana for your thoughtful donation and your on going support. Both are truly appreciated. Great color selection too! Lots of folks will be warmed with this donation. Keep up the good work.

Diana hails from the state of Georgia, not much of a need for warm hats and scarves down south. Thrilled you're using your talents to help us up north!

Excitement for Bridge and Beyond

The above is a picture of a just released new book about crocheting, the healing benefits of it. A fellow blogger, Kathryn Vercillo is the author. She writes a blog, Crochet Concupiscence, that I highly recommend you visit. Please notice she's been added to the blog log here on Bridge and Beyond. (the picture of the book is a live link and will take you to the amazon page where you can order it and read a bit more about the book and Kathryn)

The excitement I wanted to share with you all today is she has listed Bridge and Beyond in her book in the resource section. How cool is that! Naturally I appreciate this, as it gets the word out about what we all do here together as a team. The knitting and crocheting, and the caring that goes on...day after day, stitch after stitch.

I was surprised, and thrilled when she informed me she listed Bridge and Beyond
in her book. What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. And so, I hope you all pop over and visit her on her blog and add the book to your shopping list. It's not yet in local book stores, but is available on line through Amazon....which is awesome, we can order sitting here in the comfort of our computers chairs, while...we're no doubt crocheting and knitting as we speak, read and write. (to order through amazon click the picture above). AND for you hi-tech Kindle types CLICK HERE

Thank you Kathryn, and best of luck with your book sales.

Helping People

Not one of us can eradicate homelessness. Not one of us can feed all the hungry. Not one of us protect all those in danger. Not one of us can cure all the ills, or educate all those in need. But, together one day at a time, one stitch at a time, one point at a time...WE CAN make an important difference. We can and do warm people in need with our knitting and crocheting. And together with our points from Superpoints, we are helping (though much more is needed) kids in need obtain school text books.

The above school books were delivered to my Daughter, Christine the other day. These were purchased (used) from Amazon with the help of Amazon gift cards obtained from converting points from Superpoints. We're working hard, my Daughter and I to continue to earn Superpoints to convert them to Amazon Gift Cards, so many more books are needed. To give you a feel for difficulty of this task (AND THE NEED to have MORE of YOU JOIN US), the above used Health Text Book cost $42.00. That's one used book for one student. So, please join us. 3 simple quick steps will help

1. Click any of the highlighted superpoints words above
2. Fill out your mini registration
3. Verify your email address, AND complete your mini profile/and or post a photo

That's it! With those 3 easy steps, you've begun to earn points. Spin daily to gain additional points. Do surveys, play games, shop and or clip coupons. When you earn points so do we. So, it's a win win. There are many things you can do with your points for you and your family. Enjoy and please Help us Help those kids!

SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE WHO'VE ALREADY JOINED AND SPIN DAILY, WE TRULY APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. (It's best to open a 2nd email account if you're going to do more then spin...much nicer keeping all your email separated.).

Donations from the State of Tennessee

YIPPEE! Donations from the state of Tennessee from Marie P. Awesome knitted hats. Great colors, soft, so well made...and tagged! I LOVE it, I truly heart it when people tag items with size otherwise I have to and or the volunteers or workers at the various family shelters have to guess sizes. Hats that work well for males and females her in the mix.

And she's donated a couple of pair of socks........always a hit!

Many thanks for your thoughtful donation, it's truly appreciated.
