This is great! I have a ton of stuff and plenty of time to go through it all. I will post here when I get a package together.

Dorlissa,

Oh I am just thrilled to see this. I'll be posting a package to you within the next couple of days. I always wind up with things I have decided not to use and it makes me so happy to see them going to such a wonderful activity.

I finally got a box of things together, and I'm mailing it out today. Hopefully you'll have it sometime next week.

Dorlissa -

I work in the field as well and understand the privacy thing, as does everyone else I'm sure. I do think it is sad that it ever got to that point. I do hope that they are enjoying themselves and that is the main thing. Even if you have to continue using lady or man instead of names, please keep posting. I have listed your blogspot under my favorites so I won't loose the sight.

I will check back every so often to check the wish list for my next package. However, I have a tendency to buy what is on sale ( so I can buy more! ) and what I like but I will keep in mind their preferences for sizes etc as much as I can.

Again, keep up the great work! And give all of your beaders my best!

I tried to comment on the blog, but it required some kind of log in???

Anyway, my box from Fire Mountain should be delivered tomorrow. I'll be excited to get home from work! I went through some of my beads and made a few baggies too. So another package will be on its way to you soon!

My box went in the mail today. Some were some old plastic beads, some old glass that I wasn't using anymore. Also some new beads that I thought they may enjoy as well as some elastic.

I'll keep you guys in mind so that I can watch for some sales.

Hey, nice start on your blog! As soon as I have some spare moments I'll gather some things to send you (post-vacation housework calls, unfortunately). I have ordered several of the Bosses' Bead Bags from FMG, and it's a bunch of fun to go through them and see what you get. That is a good idea if you just want a random mix of things. Great for stirring up your creativity, since I always get something I've either wanted to try or never thought about using.

How fun... about to check the blog! I made a couple things the other night and have started a mental list of what to pack up and send you out of my supplies.

Also noticed on Fire Mountain yesterday a thing called Boss' Bag (I think). It's a whole pound (or so? I'm forgetful today!) of beading materials for under $10. I'm curious and may add one to my order to then forward on to you, too!
