But I felt good giving. I didn't put that the page owner would see my address. Hope the donation helps anyway.The bags look very nice and I will keep them in mind for the future. Good luck with the fundraiser. Well I didn’t do it correctly. But I felt good giving.

In fact, it's a huge pet peeve of mine and the reason (speaking of Grinches!) I don't buy <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/06/fashion/thursdaystyles/06skin.html" rel="nofollow">pink boxes of tissues</a> or yellow armbands (preferring to actually give money directly to causes). I'll let you know. <strong>Update:</strong> They take a 7.5 percent fee = 5 percent for them + 2.5 percent credit card processing fee. Of your $10 donation, $9.25 arrives, which all things considered (on said $2 pink box of tissues, 12.5 cents was donated) isn't so bad. Great question.

More often than we would like to know, the needy party gets way less than the total raised. That's my only worry.

I'm going to have to go check it out - I always try to reuse bags and these would be great to add to my collection. What a great idea!
