Hi Ashlyn
I've been looking for people in the UK and I'm in the midlands too, but the East. Just started the challenge and really enjoying it. Liked your comment about being spontaneous and reaching out.

All the best
Sally

Ashlyn,
A great big "Hey!" from Woodstock, Ga, USA! I am so happy we have so many givers from all over the world! Thanks for joining at such an exciting time! I am on the 11th day in my 8th round of 29 days! I hope you have the wonderful experience here that I have!
Let me know if you need any help!
We did a "give" in Atlanta a few months ago and gave away 100 roses on a sidewalk, it was 9 members from the metro ATL area, we started a "local" group, and you can start or join one too!
Make friends, read blogs, write blogs and leave other folks comments! Post pics and videos, join inner groups and GIVE! Have fun and watch for miracles to happen in your life when you do 29 in 29! Hope to see you around in the site!

Hi and welcome. I'm so glad you decided to join us.

Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.

Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.

Also PLAY GIFT TAG! Help support the 29Gifts Community and have some fun too by 'playing' with these beautiful and unique gift tags. It's the gift that multiplies – a gift to the 29Day Giving Challenge, and a gift to those who receive them too! These funds go to help offset the costs of maintance and hosting for our website and community, making it possible for everyone to continue to revive the giving spirit in the world. Plus, donating enters you in our contest for a $10 iTunes Card!

Happy giving!
