Well, this has been an experience to say the least....and let me pass on some important tips.
IF you have a spot in your house where you accumulate items to donate to charity
IF those items are typically placed in a plastic trash bag
IF you also happen to have a bunch of hand-dyed yarn that is finished drying
IF you also happen to place that yarn in a plastic trash bag until you can get it balled off
PLEASE... whatever you do, do NOT....this is important here, so pay attention....do NOT place that trash bag in the same area that you typically use for the donated items bag
Go ahead....ask me..........
Yep...you guessed it, the wrong bag got taken to the Planet Aid box last night. Of all the times that the box was empty enough to actually put a bag in, it had to be last night....
sleep did not come easy......at least I was able to work on the pillows I'm weaving
This all does have a happy ending however, as I spoke with a wonderful young woman at Planet Aid, and a very nice young man made a trip out to that box to pick up the donated items after calling me and giving me a heads up that he was headed there. I met him there, handed him some cookies warm from the oven, retrieved my bag, and gave him two bags full of donated clothing.
kinda like a two for one sale
now I'm off to rewash some yarn
