I have a tiny hardcover Cathy gift book (popular ages ago when, you know, card shops and stuff were popular haha). It's for a mom to give to a daughter. Perfect condition except I took out the first/flyleaf page where there was an inscription. Cute little attached ribbon holds your place.

TAKEN:I have a 2017 Weekly Planner by Lady Jayne Ltd in Green Water Colour.  It is about 7 inches high and 5 inches wide.  I am guesstimating, as I don't have a ruler with me.....It is similar to this one pictured except mine is the LIGHT GREEN one on the top left side of the picture.  There MUST be a better way to load a picture to the PBS site.  Once it is claimed I will take the picture off (since it takes up so much space. LOL!)

TAKEN

 

I have a small bag of the pull tabs from aluminum cans if someone can use them for crafts or whatever.  I had been saving them for a co-worker who took them to the Ronald McDonald House (she said they collected them and this helped fund the RMcDH).  Anyway, I had another bag started for her and she rather abruptly left employment at my workplace so never had a chance to give them to her.  (I had no contact with her outside of work.)  I realize I could just recycle these myself or toss them but thought if someone here could use them, I'd send them out.

Argh, I'm not sure where to post this, what thread... if a mod lets me know to delete, I will, as soon as I'm back online (at least every day, if not more). It's my first big send out of RAOKs, so I wanted to alert the following folks to look out for mail by end of week:

  • Connie B
  • Towana D
  • Renee D
  • Jessica L
  • Gina G
  • Alexandra C

And Diane R: Yours is still in the assembly process :-)

Even though this is one of my brokest months yet, this has been SO fun. I am already putting things aside to list for next month. Hope you all get some happy mail soon :-)

I have a pair of Softspot Acinda Mary Jane shoes size 7W that I bought new on Ebay. I can usually wear this size with no problem but these were too short for me, with my toe hitting the end of the shoe.  I didn't get them returned by the seller's time table. If anyone would like them, let me know and I can send out (free of course).  Hopefully this link will work as this is what the shoe looks like:

TAKEN!

I agree with this but I think it can be taken a step further by adding how by helping others we can attain a form of happiness. At least I think we can.
