Thank you, Secret Santa for these two lovely knitted hats. This Secret Santa is a High School friend of mine. The yarn is super soft. Both hats are nice and warm. Click to enlarge the picture folks so you can see the the nice texture and pattern of the red/burgundy hat. Many thanks for your thoughtfulness. Two more heads will be warmer.
Merry Christmas Secret Santa!!
PLEASE keep checking in, as I will continue to show Donations coming in, and provide listings of charities you might like to support after operations cease here on Bridge and Beyond come Dec .31. Please remember the last date to mail donations is the 24th of Dec.
Some of the charities aid the Homeless, some pregnant women, some kids transitioning out of foster care, and native Americans on Pine Ridge Reservation. Locations vary, so you might find one of the charities listed is in your area, or close to you like a border state; making postage perhaps less costly.
