Crocheted Donations Help those in Need

 I love opening boxes of such awesome donations!  You all do so much, it truly thrills me.  This fabulous donation comes from our very busy Gail B from Virginia.  Lots of luscious scarves.  Can't you feel how luscious they are by looking!  Gorgeous browns!  Nice and big too, so the men folks can wrap up.
 A nice solid green also good for either the men or the women.  Gail's also crocheted hats, and included always needed personal care items.
The box was stuffed!  Look, more goodies.  More scarves, personal care items, socks, and beautiful cotton washcloths round out her generous donation.  She's really included something for everyone here.
Many thanks for your on going support, please keep up the good work Gail.

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?
