Getting Organized ... And A Contest

I have received sooo many comments and emails, in response to this idea, and I have to say thank you so very much!

I thought I would take a minute to get more organized about sending in items and the blog here.

• I'm looking for knit/crocheted items; everything from hats to blankets. The idea here is to promote warmth in the winter months. I'm thinking that using 100% wool is the best idea, for knitted/crocheted items, because it will provide the most warmth.
• You can email me, Amy, at p3knitter@gmail.com. Please include your name and blog address, so that I can add you to the side bar and add you to the blog.
  
• Also, email me so I can send you the address of where to ship things too. I am NOT posting it on the blog here, because of what my parents do, and the fact that we are the only family in town with our last name. But I am more than happy to email it to you.
• Once I've added you as a member to the blog, please feel free to post pictures of you items and blog about them as well!
  

The Goal : 100 items by October 31st. I'd love to beat that, but that's what I'm aiming for!

And of course, to add some fun ... here's a little contest! (And I may have a couple other contests in the mean time as well)

The BIG Contest : Whoever makes and sends me the most items by October 31st will get a $25 gift card to either KnitPicks or JoAnns (your choice if you win.) I'll be keeping a tally of what comes in.

Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for your interest. I hate to see people living in poverty in my own town, and I just had to do something.
