New Ideas
Charity Gift Certificates
Are you trying to find a gift for someone who literally has everything? Here is a great new idea for a completely unique gift – a charity gift card.
.
Charity gift cards are pre-paid donation cards that gives the recipient the opportunity to donate to the charity of their choice A recipient can designate the donation gift amount to as many as three charities from a list of over 100 nationally recognized charities. This gives them the freedom to choose a cause of meaning to them, not one pre-determined by the giver. Go to http://www.charitygiftcertificates.org/ to purchase a card.
Here’s a story about an inmate that makes quilts for charity out of old prison blue jeans and worn out orange offender transport jumpsuits. http://www.swxrightnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=12158570
.
I’m not sure how I feel about that. It’s nice that he is doing something good for others, but I am not sure I would like getting a quilt made from old prison clothing. What do YOU think?
I have been asked to sell a couple of boxes of quilt books for someone else. I separated out the quilt history books so I could give y’all first crack. Although I am salivating at some of them, I haven’t purchased any for myself:-((
.
Most of them look like they were purchased new and just put on the shelf without even being opened. The older ones appear to have been purchased at a used book store. Some of the used books are a little shelf worn.
.
I made a list, put it in PDF form and uploaded it to http://quiltbug.com/PDF/books-for-sale.pdf The prices shown is the amount she hopes to sell these for on Ebay. I can sell these for 75% of the price shown until Saturday, March 13 (because there won’t be any Ebay fees.) If there is no price, make an offer. I may not be able to get back to you immediately as she doesn’t have E-mail.
.
I can accept credit cards and paypal through the shop. Books will be shipped by priority mail, with insurance on the more valuable pieces. All books subject to prior sale.
.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly at krisdriessen@yahoo.com . Really, how often do you find these books at a such a savings?
