Kellogg's Rewards Codes

Boxtops and Campbell's labels for Education (no children or grandchildren in school now, but I give them to a local school)

Coupons for diapers for my 2 grandsons in MD-- they are aged  21 months and 4 months so we need multiple sizes. Cole also loves Cheerios so coupons for those would help too!

Total long shot wish: If you have a cd you never play anymore and it has the song "Stumblin In" on it by Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman, I would love to have it!

Thankyou!

Happy New Year, everyone! I wish everyone an exciting year with a generous amount of love and laughter. For my wishes this month I am asking for:

  • Prayers for me and my family. 
  • A 2016 Day Planner
  • Yarn (any color, doesn't have to be full skeins.)
  • Cute Hair Bands - Bohemian, floral, Sporty (My hair has finally grown out enough to need a hairband.
  • Shape Magazine & Fit Magazine (any copies you may get in the mail and don't want I would love to get them. My subscriptions ran out and I can't afford to re-do them.)

Thanks for looking.

This one might be a long shot but I thought I would take a risk. :) 

Does anyone have the January 2016 issue of V Magazine? There are 16 different covers and I'd be happy with any one of them. An actor I love is featured in a photoshoot in it and it isn't sold near me.

This month I could use:

Bandanas. I use them to keep my super long hair contained underneath my riding helmet. 

Cardboard boxes from 6 packs of longnecks. If you have one from an obscure, foreign or craft beer even better. I'm using them for a craft :) 

And as always, little note pads. I've had a TBI and if I don't make notes daily, nothing gets done. ;) 

Thanks!

My wish list: 

1.) odd request: bath towels, any colors will work, we aren't picky just as long as we can bathe with them lol.  Ours had an unfortunate meeting with cooking oil (I dropped the fry daddy and made the mistake of cleaning the oil up with the towels) and I can't get the oil out and they are now unsafe to put in the clothes dryer without risking burning our house down. I have tried multiple times to clean the oil out of them and nothing works. 

2.) silverware. Ours keeps mysteriously disappearing. 

3.) dry erase markers.

If anybody bought the newly released DIsney's Snow White on dvd and got one of those digital codes (that let you watch the movie online) they don't want, I'd be very grateful to have it. :)

Hello All,

I am looking to request a good quantity of children's books that are in very good or better condition.  If you have some on your shelf, send me a PM and I will look at your shelf.  Thought I would check with this group first before going out into the other forums for this request.  Vicky

My wish this time is a total long shot:

I just took an intro to ukelele workshop. The instructor was kind enough to bring an extra uke, as I don't have one. Well, I fell in love! We learned four chords and jammed some as a group, and I am now hooked!!

So my long-shot wish is for a ukelele. Do you have one hidden and forgotten in a closet? Did your child abandoned their uke in favor of some new pursuit? I would love to have the one you will never play again so I can continue to learn and hopefully join up with some local uke players.

Thank you for reading my long-shot wish!

There is someone on here that used to collect shot glasses.     I had several to send her and had wrapped up the box but forgot to mail it.   If anyone knows who that may be would you please ask them to PM me.

I have a huge amount of printed coupons from the internet that need cut and sorted.  Is there anyone who wants me to send them all to them and then they can do with them as they please?  I just don't have time to do this with several other projects going on.  Most are dated into February and March.
