A very happy Valentine's Day to all of you!!
You Are Loved
When the road seems too long
When darkness sets in
When everything turns out wrong
And you can't find a friend
Remember ~ you are loved
When smiles are hard to come by
And you're feeling down
When you spread your wings to fly
And can…
Mary, what is the OTBC, I'd like to help out with your cause too, great ideas! Deb, Mary is sending the blankets to my house so I can take a bunch over to the hospital to the specific lady that I talked to. But, that would be up to you. I created a…
Deb...what I asked my other group was if they knit or crochet or even quilted they could donate...they even have those fleece blankets now where you literally buy two pieces of fleece and then cut the edges in strips and knot them together. http://w…
Possibly...I keep using the extra little bits and pieces to make blankets. Basically a local pediatric hospital had said they would love to have homemade blankets for those families who have lost a baby. They said that the parents love to wrap the b…
You can give them a call or a listening ear, or a hug, or send them a letter, card, or email. You may include them in some family activity of yours or invite them to your home.
Or you may ask them to do something outside of your house like go to a…

Allie, Mary did post the idea of using yarn she had in your house for quite a while to make blankets for dying babies in a pediatric hospital. Maybe it was here.

One fun way I've found to "de-clutter" is to donate items to the nursing home where my Grandma lived that they can use for bingo prizes or crafts. My Grandma laughed one day and told me the activity director had to raid the kitchen for bananas so th…
WOW Judy, it will only take you a month!!!!! Mine has been a work in progress for 3 years now :)!
one odd thing..my husband always goes to this fast food mexican restaurant called pancheros out here...they make fresh burritos to order and what not..anyways, this one lady who works there always kids with him that he forgot to get her a christmas…
Hi everyone, boy have I been busy!!!!! I donated a bag full of expensive dog harnesses (that my dog can get out of), leashes, and toys plus a large kennel to a nearby dog rescue who needed things on craigslist on Friday. I have been busy making my b…
Sit back and close your eyes
Be still and fantasize.
Let your thoughts flow like a river;
Let's piece this together,
sliver by sliver.
Walk with me into the sun,
Warm and hot like a cinnamon bun.
Can I explain how it feels,
To be the one who conceal…
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I complain a lot about the greed of people who either don't share or only do so with certain people or their pets while others have to starve and do without in other ways. I also have so many possessions in my room that it's always a mess and I'm spending almost $70 a month to store a bunch of stuff I haven't seen for 2 years.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Fewer things to "junk up" my bedroom floor and lots of poor people with smiles on their faces because I've given them something I wanted or needed.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- It was a recommended group I found after signing on to Ning.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes
Sparkie's Blog
Code of Conduct-Nope, I'm Not Looking for Anyone!
I have read the Code of Conduct and don't want to give the moderator for the single 29 Day givers the wrong impression. I invited her to be my friend on this network and let her know in the personal message that I'm looking around for groups and networks for singles. I'm not looking for a partner, lover, or a husband and even if I were, I'd be happy to comply and use other Ning networks set up for that purpose.
