AKA: Person donates pad AND buys earrings - shipping for earrings is free!<br /><br />Organization site:<br /><a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.goods4girls.org/">http://www.goods4girls.org/</a><br />My etsy.com listing:<br /><a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15719673">http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15719673</a><br /><br /><br />Any thoughts or ideas?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4941051625187479126-5160178345428528265?l=mellygirl2007.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MellyGirl2007http://www.blogger.com/profile/03881851861900312503noreply@blogger.com0
