I have been helping my church clean out the craft area and taking things to the local senior center. Well, yesterday, I packed up some boxes of books (quilting, sewing, cross stitch, etc) after I had looked through all of them of course. I had a few stray books and stuck them in my carry-all bag. When I got to the Senior Center, I helped a gentleman unpack my car and mistakenly put my carry-all bag with all the other stuff.
Well, I won't miss the carry-all... but the fabric I had in there to wash??? I will definately miss that!!!!! By the time I realized what I did, the Seniors had already gone thru everything and some lucky ladies got at least $50 worth of great fabric. What an air-head I am!!!!!

But think how happy someone was to get that lovely fabric.

Sorry for your loss but happy for some senior citizen...
remember- what you give will come back to you a hundred fold.

Don't feel too bad. You probably made some lonely people Very Happy. In the end it's a great thing! Like they say...good things come to those who help others :!:

Its like my husband says... no good deed ever goes unpunished! so sad really.

I really hope the recipient of your items is happy. I have helped out at the Senior Center, most of them are nice and appreciative, but their are some that can be rude and disrespectful. Hey!, I'm here as a volunteer trying to coordinate stuff and you reach into the items that haven't even been placed out. (No one told me I would have to lock up my purse)

Awww bummer for you, but you did make some happy seniors!! Just consider it a true RAK since you it was so random you didn't even see it coming!! :)

Cheers!
