hi all...this is a brand new blog so bear with me...I'm hoping to do the bulk of my charitable work here so let's start by helping out Project Linus!!!!! (read about it below).

If anyone would like to donate prizes for me to give away please email:

Leave me a comment & I'll randomly pick names & give away some goodies that have been generously donated....mostly knit/crochet related or food related because that's what I like...and it's all about me...well, ok this time it's all about Project Linus. Please donate because that's what is really needed, but also spread the word. they have chapters all over the place & if they don't just start your own...make blankets for kids...OUR kids right here!!!! it's important so just do it!!!! That was exhausting. Here are links:

The Project Linus Mission

Project Linus is comprised of hundreds of local chapters and thousands of volunteers across the United States. Each volunteer and local chapter all work together to help us achieve our mission statement, which states:

First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”

Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
