    I know, I know, I am always coming to you guys asking for something... :)

    As many of you know, my oldest daughter and I will be traveling to Guatemala this summer on a missions trip. While there, we'll be building a home for a single mother, and providing a medical area for a village that has no doctor, hospital, or health care professionals.

    This is our first trip, and we are beyond excited.

    I need to collect as many of the following things as you might have to donate. I will be happy to meet you somewhere to pick them up!

    Blow-pops (our team has been asked to bring 1000)
    Beanie Babies (they don't have to be TY brand, just the same general thing)
    Supplies for personal hygeine kits (travel sized toothpaste, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, washcloths, etc)

    If you don't have any of the above, I will be more than happy to accept a cash donation and purchase them myself, and mail/fax you a copy of the receipt!

    Thank you for considering our cause!

    I have beanie baby type stuffed toys ... let me put together a box for ya! I used to collect them, intended on selling them or something .. I don't know .. I needed a distraction at the time ... now, would love to see them go to a good cause!
    Can I run them over this weekend sometime? (Prolly Sunday ... volunteering at Race for the Cure on Sat, then going to the gem and mineral show at the fairgrounds)

    Mvenito, I can come by the shop if that's easier! Just let me know when!

    Elims, yes ma'am. We haven't moved! :)

    Rcarp, when do you want to get together?

    Nod - ditto. I've dug out a box of about 50 beanie babies so far ... I know I have more around here somewhere. Everything from dogs and cats and horses to frogs to ducks to rhinos to dinosaurs to dragons to spiders and snakes and bunnies and turkeys and dolphins and ... well ... a lot. If no one is home, I'll just leave the box. :)

    Rcarp and Elims, y'all are the bomb. I should be home on Sunday all day except for church.

    I'll be at the 40/42 Curves today from 6-6:30 if you want to come and pick up the donation. You can come before class or after. I'll put them in my car before I leave.
