Directions to Chelsea's

For some reason my house doesn't show up on any map online. I've gotten a lot of email the last couple of days asking in what direction my house is. So I thought it would be easiest to just put up some land marks for those of you who live in the area.

My street, Pleasant View is right off of Westwood which is right by the water tower. I'm the second one on the right of Pleasant View.

Hope this helps!

When?

We will be compiling the tote bags

Friday, December 17, 2010

7:00 PM

Madison Middle School in Rexburg, (It's the school below BYU-I and the temple)

We ordered more...

The money keeps rolling in, and so do the boxes of supplies! Thank you. Instead of cutting the project off early, we decided to order more tote bags, and we'll put together as many as we can. We have filled all the items for the 200 hundred bags, but we purchased 100 more totes... With all the e-mails we keep receiving we didn't want to be short again. :)

So, if you were still planning on donating we'll be happy to have it! Don't worry about the supplies being full, we have 100 more to fill. It would be a great help to still receive all the items by the 10th, because we have a lot of cash to spend to fill in where we lack. We can't wait to see many of you in less than two weeks to compile so many bags! I was excited to learn that my Fifth graders, all 65, will help with setting up that day! It about made me cry when they told me. Also a BIG THANKS to the Beckstrand/Jones family for keeping the totals up to date, it hasn't been easy.

Thanks again for all the support from all over the world. Its been an incredible experience.

We've had some questions on what "Entire baskets" mean. Those are pledges stating that they are willing to donate all the items that will be put into one basket, minus the tote bag. We have 19 pledged or already donated.

The PayPal account is up and running! Feel free to donate. All proceeds will be used to buy tote bags and what isn't donated. Thank you.

Craziness!

Okay, disregard everything I've said today. We have had some MAJOR contributions and so if you are wondering what we are in need of please give us a couple of days and we will update our totals. This is amazing! We definitely filled some items.

I met up with some girls from Cache Valley today donating a whole trunk load from their ward! It was incredible. There was so much supplies! Thank you to that ward. Hundreds of dollars donated. We have another person dropping off just as much from UT tomorrow, and the list goes on and on.

Thank you!!!! I promise we'll get the numbers updated soon. You are all incredible people!

P.S. We're getting close to 200 blankets, if you already have them we'll be more than happy to have them. But if you could start looking at another item we would appreciate it!

Cost of one basket

I've received many e-mails wondering what the cost of one total basked would be. I'd say it's roughly $25-30. I hope this helps. Thank you for your support.
