A Vote for Shelly
You’ve noticed over the past months that I have linked to Shelly’s Share a Square project several times. I’ve sent her a bunch of squares, pieced together 4 afthans, and have encouraged at least one person in Alaska to do the same. That is very cool.
But what is even more cool is the fact that Shelly is doing the project in the first place. Sometimes we get these ideas and then file them on the back burner for someone else to do it - to put forth the effort - to get things accomplished.
Not Shelly - she got the idea, put it out there for the great blue ether to digest and then started the hard work to get it accomplished. And it has snowballed and people from all over the US and around this great big blue ball of ours have contributed to the project.
Shelly is over half way to her goal of completed afghans for Camp Sanguinity. A lot of people are taking a bit of a break for the Christmas holidays - but will begin again after that. In the meantime, won’t you go over to All Tips and Tricks - see the link in the quote below - and put in YOUR vote for Shelly?
It can cost $20 or more to send off a box of squares to a volunteer to piece together. A lot of those boxes have been sent off on Shelly’s dime. She hasn’t complained, but I’m sure that the $100 prize for the most votes will be sure to help out. My vote goes to Shelly and I hope yours will as wel.
thanks, everyone!
Simonne at All Tips And Tricks is having a group writing project asking…’What is Your Best Blogging Achievement?’ You can see the entries here. I vote for Shelly to win.

Hey Barbara, thank you for your vote, and for linking to my group writing project. Share a Square is a great achievement. You should be proud of yourselves for making it happen.
