Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to update you all on how things are going with the tote bag project. Items and bags are starting to roll in and I'm so excited to see where we will end up!
Here are some examples of the bags that have been sewn thus far. They are all so cute! I want one of each of them to keep for myself!
Someone generously donated 100 chapsticks to go in the bags.
We have 150+ journals!! Staples was kind enough to donate 100 memo pads (the ones on the left) and I received 48 from a woman at my company plus more from people at church. How awesome would it be if we made enough bags to use up all these journals?
We went with these travel size Aveeno lotions because they are the cheapest ($0.97 each) and they are fragrance free. I have almost 100 of those.
Someone from work hit two service birds with one stone by buying these chocolates from another fundraiser and donating them to our cause. We're still very short in the candy/chocolate department but are hoping for more individually wrapped donations like these.
I'd like to thank all of you that have helped with this project so far! I have handed out fabric that was donated to people that have volunteered to sew bags. The deadline is creeping up but I don't down we'll meet and maybe exceed our goal of 100 filled tote bags. Thanks again!
Whitney
