Here is a new project for you all to get involved in! I will figure out the Button eventually and add it to my sideline over to the right, but until then use this link Iraqi Bundles of Love. This project is being kicked off by Kristin LaFlame's Husband. Strangely enough I think our husband's worked together at one point in Heidelberg, Germany...I think. Most of you know I am an Army wife and my husband has been over to Baghdad on 2 tours (I think 26 months total). So in a way Iraq is in my thoughts frequently. I think about the women over there and what fills their days. So many of the stories out of Iraq are focused on the Male role and the women are overlooked or just not seen. So here is a way for us to reach out to them on a very functional level. You can find the FAQs here. Now off you go...go bundle up some sewing and knitting things and get them in the mail speedy quick. We only have until the 7th of September!
xo,
Tia

Thank you so much for the plug! The first bundles are already arriving in Iraq, being stockpiled for later distribution. It's getting quite exciting! :-)
isn't this a great call for help? i sent my bundle/box off yesterday and even included yarn and knitting supplies with a printout of detailed drawings.
It sure is great! I hope He (and his APO person)is ready for a massive response.
Thanks for the info, Tia! I blogged about it too... and have filled 3 boxes with fabric, thread, yarn and scissors! I'll get them in the mail tomorrow! ~ Jennie
