Stockings of Cheer!

Kristy, over at Hopeful Threads hosts a monthly sew project every  month. I saw her project for this month, and just had to share it! She's hosting Stocking of Cheer! for Children's Hospital. Basically, you make a stocking and donate it to your local children's hospital for those children that will be in the hospital over the holidays. You can also stuff it full of goodies before you drop it off. ;)

If you don't have a local hospital, which I don't know that I do, you can also send a stocking, or stocking stuffers to Kristy or Dona of Sewing Miles of Smiles.

How great is that?! Anyway, I wanted to share this in case your are interested. :) I'm all for supporting a good cause. If you have other good causes you are hosting, or know about, (or any events for that matter) you can share them in the Mark Your Calendar linky, or the Flickr Group. Or if it's quilting/sewing related, share it in the Quilting for a Cause group! There are many willing hands out there!

Mark Your Calendar! a linky for upcoming events

   




You asked for it, so here it is! Are you ready to Mark Your Calendar?! This is a linky for any and all upcoming blog events. Simply link up a specific blog post that explains your event under the month in which the event takes place.

To help keep things organized and easy to sort through, here's a key on how to link up your event:

Put the following in the NAME line when filling out the form:

1. What your event is. A blog hop? Start with BH. A Quilt Along? Type QAL. etc.
2. Next type the name of your event.
3. Type where it is taking place, aka, your blog name
4. So we all know when to head over, put the day that it begins.

Here's an example. I am hosting the Friendship Quilts Blog Hop in September. It starts on the 3rd. This is what my entry would look like:

BH - Friendship Quilts @ from blank pages..., 9/3

If you have a past event that you want to share, let me know and I can pin it onto the group boards on Pinterest. (If you want to help us pin, let me know and I'll send you an invite.)

If you have a Linky Party, you can share that at The Master List. The Master List is specifically for linky parties. (since there is The Master List, please don't share linky parties here.)

There is also a Flickr Group where you can share any sort of event as well. There is a discussion thread for all sorts of events. I really like Flickr for the purpose of easily being able to see any new updates!



Thanks for sharing! I hope you'll help spread the word about this, as well as link up any events that you find. I'll keep a few months up at a time so we can be ready for events coming up. If you have an event coming up and I don't have that month up yet, just let me know and I'll add it. :)
