Tell It Tuesday- Thankful

For weeks now, I have been trying to figure out a way this holiday season to inspire my fans to give back just a little. We are all strapped for cash this time of year, but in our household we try to remember that someone, somewhere needs something a little more than we do.

We became an Army family this past year and in doing so have learned about several great programs that in their own ways are trying to help fellow service members and their families. There are many servicemembers who will receive little to nothing while deployed, many sitting in a hospital where a card or blanket will cheer them up or a family struggling who could use some extra food.

I (Megs) have decided to offer this to all of my fans and customers. Join one of these programs (links will be below), stay commited and you will receive a 10% off discount on all orders and FREE ahipping. Our family decided that for every time Seth is away longer than 60 days we would donate in some way. We adopted a soldier while he was at BCT, we have done Cup of Joe for a Joe, and we will be donating (ongoing) once 8 of our friends deploy. It's taught our children far more than I could ever have imagined. They see us giving back, love helping with letters and care packages. Our adopted soldier has become a part of their lives. I must read the letters from our soldier 12-15 times before they are done with it!

Rules (these are in prelim stage so bear with me)
1. You must email me some sort of proof you joined a cause. If you have a deployed soldier, maybe adopt the unit.

2. You must keep it ongoing, and show proof you have

3. Contact me before place an order (if custom) or send a reminder if you buy instock and I will refund.

Here are some Links to some really great causes:

Soldiers Angels http://soldiersangels.org/ This group has something for everyone. From sending cards, care packages, blankets to adopting a soldier

USO http://www.uso.org/programs.aspx The USO has been around for many years with the famous motto "Til they all come home"

Drum Hike http://drumhike.com/ Troy is walking 7,000 miles across the country to help struggling military families and to get a national day to honor our deployed service members

Cup of Joe for a Joe http://www.greenbeanscoffee.com/coj/index.php A small donation sends a cup of joe to a service member.

If you have a military cause you have donated to this year or want to donate to that isn't listed, simply let me know!

A very special auction today to benefit two amazing organizations

Today, October 15th, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. This is a very special day for me and Megan as we have both experienced loss. Everyday 2,000 women lose their babies (taken from Kristin Cook's Faces of Loss page).

Megan has created over a dozen diapers for today's stocking and some others for the auction. Along with her diapers Christine from Knoodle Knits, Sarah from Star Crossed Stitches, and Kristy from Soft and Sweet Bottoms are also donating products for this auction.

**All proceeds from today's stocking and the auction will be split between Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope. To learn more about those wonderful organizations you can click the links above or click to go to directly to the "About Us" section for Now I Lay Me down To Sleep or the "About" section on Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope.**

The auction will start at 7PM CT on the Cow Patties Cloth Diapers facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/cowpattiesclothdiapers
While you wait you can see the diapers from today's stocking and pre-view the diapers Megan is auctioning off here or in the slide show below (if you get posts via email please come to the blog to view the slide show).


As the mother an Angel Baby I think you from the bottom of my heart for participating in this auction. Let's all work together to break the taboo and make sure that no one has to suffer the pain of a Pregnancy or Infant Loss alone or in silence! You can read more in the posts titled Loss is not a four letter word and Faces of Loss on this blog.

Big Cow Patties Cloth Diapers NEWS!

The big Cow Patties news is..........No, no one is pregnant. I don't know about you all but whenever I start out with "I have something to tell you" or "I have news!" the first thing someone says is "YOU'RE PREGNANT?!?" Uh, no!

Megan has decided, on the urging of a board she is a member of, to do a co-op (cooperative) for her Famous Pocket Fitteds!

The co-op manager is named Melissa. To put it in the simplest form I can think of, Melissa approached Megan and asked her if she would give a price cut if Melissa could get a group together that would make a bulk purchase from her.

Typically  the Famous Pocket Fitteds are $18.00. Through this co-op Megan has dropped the price to $15.00 and that includes shipping! That price is for any size Famous Pocket Fitted and also includes snaps if you want them.

Famous Pocket Fitteds are made out of 2 body layers of bamboo fleece with a cute outer fabric (flannel, cotton knit, cotton woven). Insert folds up for 10-12 layers of absorbency. Requires a cover, pins, snappi, or snaps (upon request) to close. These are a great option for night time and/or heavy wetters. FPFs have the great fit and the absorbency of a fitted but the reduced drying time of a pocket.

You can read more about the specifics of ordering customs, including sizing, etc.) HERE.

To see the fabric options click on the type of fabric you're interested in: Flannel -- Cotton Knit -- Cotton Woven to view the albums of in-stock fabric on the CP facebook page. There is also the option of sending your own fabric.

Co-op details:

-Megan has put the co-op max at 50 diapers total. However, she's willing to bump that up a bit if there is a lot of interest (and there definitely IS, 29 diapers today already!) but to ensure you get the number of FPFs you want, put your order in early...there is no limit to the amount of FPFs you can order.

-Ordering will run today (October 1) through October 25 and payment will be due at that time. No orders will be changed after that point.

-Megan will begin working on the co-op order November 1st. She will not be doing custom orders or stockings while she works on the Co-op order.

-Orders will be shipped right to the buyer from Megan (Cow Patties Cloth Diapers) so make sure your shipping address is correct in your PayPal account. Cow Patties Cloth Diapers can not be responsible for orders shipped to incorrect or old Paypal addresses.

If you're interested you can let Melissa (the co-op manager know) by EMAILING HER. If you have co-op questions you can also email Melissa, and as always you can post on the Cow Patties Cloth Diapers facebook page, as well as email me or Megs.

To put in a Co-op order with Melissa you'll need to have this info:
-Name and screen name (if you're part of the board)
-Email and Paypal email (if it's different than the email you use to communicate)
-Number of Famous Pocket Fitteds you would like
-Fabric choice(s) from the albums I linked you to above
-If you want snaps you'll need to specific and let her know what color
