Hi Everyone,

My sincerest apologies for not responding to the folks that have sent things over the past couple of months. My beloved Corgi, Casi, had a major stroke and had to be sent across the Rainbow Bridge. It's been heart wrenching for me, to say the least.

Rest assure that we did get your boxes and are very greatful to you for sending them. Please know that I humbly appreciate each and every single one of you.

Crafty Hugs,
Christi

Christi,
I see you have not been on in a while. I have a box to ship to you, but I am unsure if you are still collecting supplies for the "You Matter" project. Please let me know, otherwise I will find another source to send my donation. Thank you.

[SBinGA]

Hi Christi,

Another 2 boxes headed your way!!

[cheermom]

I am putting together some things now. I totally forgot postage went up today :(.

[Carriekap]

Hi Christi,

Do you have an address that I could use with UPS? I have some things to send that don’t fit in the biggest Priority Mail box. But I don’t think UPS will deliver to a P.O. Box. Please let me know how I can get this stuff to you.

I’m wondering if you received my 5 boxes earlier this month. I forgot to include my note.

I hope you’re doing well.

Take care,
Carrie

A Scrap of Kindness,

Thanks so much for this helpful information. It was kind of you to send it along.

Take care,

[likeshigh]

Informative post. Thanks for your precious suggetion.

[PMR]

I have a large flat rate box heading out this week. It will probably be my last, I hope I cleaned out all I could! Again, I hope you can use some of it.

[Craf-T-Bear]

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry that I have not been able to get online for awhile. My landlord finally decided to do some much needed renovations and his maintaince man broke my laptop by dropping it. So, my internet is very limited right now, until I can get things squared away.

I have received many boxes from several folks! THANK YOU!!! Yes, we are still accepting things, as always.

Big Hugs,
Christi

Christi, Is your group still active and taking donations? I am in the midst of getting ready to move after 35+ years in the same house and the craft room is getting purged. I have sooooo much stuff and would love for someone that needs it to have some of it. Thank you.

THINGS THAT WE ARE IN NEED OF:

2.) LARGE Clear Plastic RE-SEALABLE envelope bags big enough to put our napkins and project parts in. (Larger than an A-2 size.)

3.) Pre-Cut Heavy duty paper or thin wooden bookmarks.

4.) Cricut type Vinyl to create larger words for our Organizational Storage Spaces.

As usual, we accept ALL crafty items in good condition year-round. A HUGE THANK YOU to those of you who have sent things to The You Matter Project! Your kindness and generosity help so many through our Creative Art venues.

[blindstamper]

Hi, just found this thread. I'm in process of purging. Since it looks like last post was 2021, thought I should check to see if you still need stuff?

Actually, Craf-T Bear's last post (#111) is dated April 2022. ... and, yes, she is still accepting donations.
