Ranger Wants your Extra Crafting Supplies
Hello peoples! It's me Ranger! I heard the girls talking about their crafting event in December. It's pretty cool. You can make your kitty or doggie a special gift! How awesome is that! I love toys, I have lots of them. I know your kitty and doggie would love to have a new toy. You can come and make one or two or three or four or more. It's free too!
I know lots of peoples will come and we need lots of crafty stuff. So, I am asking you, from the bottom of my little kitty heart, to donate any extra crafty stuff you have cluttering your house. The girls say they would take just about anything - fleece, stuffing, fabric, stitch witchery, thread, feathers, batting, etc. You can bring your crafty stuff to me. I live at the clinic (in case you didn't know). I am available on Monday and Friday from 8 am - 7 pm, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 am - 5 pm and Saturday from 8 am - 3 pm.
