Toy drive for children of Iraq: Information at parent hacks.

Send toys to:

Edmay Mayers : USACE - GRS : APO AE 09331

If you are in the US you can request a free mailing pack (posting costs are not included).

With all the crafty toy makers we have in blogland, maybe a few would consider a sock monkey or five to send over to the kiddos. Or perhaps their own plush collection could use a bit of thinning to make room for the new softies?

Craftzine Volume 2: Creative copies is out - and it sure looks delicious.
