rockin’ the socks!

MW lotsa sox4

Wow – they are still coming in and since I have word that more are on the way I will wager that we will reach 650 which means you have sent in TEN TIMES what I hoped to get.  If you haven't been keeping up you can scroll down through the recent posts or go here to see where this started.  Today's packages included piles of pink from two groups that collected the donations – HCIT?  I wish you could see my big-eyed-open-mouthed expression every time I pick up from the post office.  And then I wish you could see me get all misty-eyed-yet-grinning as I read all your sweet notes, and when I realize that some of the return addresses are not familiar to me.  Thank you for the sweet pink love.  You make grief endurable.

    Hey Michelle,

    keep on going !
    my friend hopped in yesterday and she was wearing her “crafting-apron” because she had a workshop to start. Guess what she was wearing on it ? The “pinkwink”badge !
    So, during the workshop she will have to explain what the badge was for.
    You see, the “pinkwink” keeps on making ripples…

    My package is on it’s way to you from FL. Sorry for the delay. Fay just didn’t want me to get to the post office. I’m thrilled to be able to help mail away your grief. I had it in my mind you’d reach 650 and I’m so happy to help get you there.
    Cheers!

    Hey Michele, Glad to see so many there, I saw a “bouquet of sox” today and thought of you. They were wrapped and rolled like you do, only on wire florist stems, secured with paper clips. Then they were wrapped like a bouquet with tissue paper…so cute!
