EQUALS 500 bags to donate to Flood Relief. Yes, really. 500 in 2 days. 2 days. It was amazing. The bags look like this. . .and you can buy them online here (all proceeds go to the Flood Relief Fund). . .
The bolt from Harmony made a bit over 300 bags. We made others from fabric we had on hand. They look like this. . .these will be given away in exchange for donations around Nashville. . .

Why did we do all this? Because WE ARE NASHVILLE. . .
Thank you to EVERYONE that participated. I feel truly blessed. If all goes as planned, we will donate over $7000 (or more if people are generous) to the Flood Relief Fund. You can also see the 500 bags project on the news here:

Thanks everyone, yes, it was great to have FOUR guys involved too. Well, one was Bagette Dad, but it was nice that he had some company!

I don't live far from Nashville and I posted about this on Facebook. So hopefully this will help drum up some more business for these tote bags. Also, sent messages to people that I know that live around Nashville so that they can find you guys and donate money to the fundraiser. If there is anything else I can do, let me know.
