Giving Back to the Marines in 29 Palms

I am adding this for anyone in the local La Quinta, Palm Desert Area and would like to participate, please email me I will come and pick up anything you would like to donate.

Hello-
A couple of us have gotten together and decided to start a "club" for volunteering. Our goal is to have a direct impact on peoples lives without having to fund raise. We all recognize how blessed we are and that are so many people in dire need right now of the basics, food and clothing.

Our first project is going to be collecting clothing, shoes, toys, household items that will be taken to 29 Palms. The base has a store for the Marines and their families, where they can come and buy donated clothing items. Everything in the store is less then $5. The Marine families live on very, very tight budgets. The store is a way for them to get great stuff with out felling like it is a hand out. A couple of the ladies went there a couple months ago and were overwhelmed by the gratitude from the families.

We will be picking and East Valley location for our next project.

If you would like to donate (we will take woman's, children, men's clothing, toys and household items. Please make sure everything is in stain free and in working condition.) We would like to have everything by April 30th. Here is a list of contact people that you can either drop your stuff off to or they we will gladly come and get it for you.

Thank you so much for your donations. They will be put to good use.

Sincerely,

Laura Neil

On the Search for New Baby Stuff...

I have been scouring the web for new bedding for Lily's room. The new baby is getting Lily's crib and Lily is going to get a "Big Girl Bed." So I wanted to post all the great websites that I have found for bedding, furniture, design and etc. Hope you find this stuff useful...

The bedding I am getting is by Whistle and Wink...So cute...Called Birds of Paradise. You can find it and other cute stuff at www.DimplesandDandandelions.com

The bedding I am getting for the new baby (not yet named yet) is by House Inc. called Marche Rose. This is like nothing I have bought before so I am excited to try and new style in a new room. Might even paint the walls a classic pink...

And it looks like she had a lot of FUN!

Lily's First Ballet Class

She loved it and had so much fun. She insisted on wearing a funny combo of Misha Lulu and a Beary Basics tutu. She would not let me change her shirt. Oh, the opinions of a two year old.

Things I love...

I saw these personalized buckets and just think they are so cute. I got a plastic one when I was little and I still have it. They are great for bathroom stuff, craft supplies and more. Here are a couple companies that are selling them.

1. The Preppy Polka Dot on Etsy
2. www.ThreeHipChicks.com
3. Chasing Fireflies

Sarah Boyd Designs

About Sarah Boyd Designs

As a little girl, Sarah would sit and watch her mother sew everything from curtains, to quilts, to their childhood costumes. As she grew older, her mother taught her the basics of sewing. While in college at the University of Florida Sarah started making pillows and duvet covers for her room.

After graduating from college, getting married, and moving to Tampa; Sarah had her beautiful daughter, Carson. Her interest in making children's clothes grew and she was given a sewing and embroidery machine.

Soon she began making blankets, dresses, rompers, embellishing onesies and burp clothes for her family and friend's children. Thus Sarah Boyd Designs was created. Sarah loves taking a piece of material, personalizing it and turning it into a fun, useful, unique item. She sells her clothing to costumers all over the country and everyone loves all her beautifully crafted designs.

Nothing fulfills Sarah more than to see her work on bright, smiling faces.
