Tuesday's Number #2 Challenge

Rhonda and I have been friends for several years and learned that there is not anything like having a best friend to be there for you, to laugh with and to cry with. We depend on our friends everyday! In creating this wonderful project we have made so many new friends that we are so thankful to have met.

Today in our #2 challenge we would like to honor our 2 of our friends who are now"Mama's TO BE!" We have two wonderful friends who are expecting new little blessings! 


Congrats to Annabeth Wyatt and Paige Mitchell, they will be new Mommies soon!!!! 

So in honor of our new Mommies and our wonderful friends. We would like to challenge each of you to get with YOUR friends and purchase at least 2 tickets to the event. e-mail rhonda@mamasnewbag.com to purchase your tickets. We are working to get them online so stay tuned... you will soon be able to purchase tickets  online.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's #2 challenge!

The #2 Challenge!

Well it's hard to believe but next Monday (Jan. 31st) Maggie and Chad will celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary! So in honor of all our princesses out there...

We want to challenge each one of you to donate at LEAST 2 gently used purses!

 Here are some questions that we are often asked....

Do you take ANY kind of purse or does it have to be Designer? YES we take any and all purses! The designer bags are how we raise the bulk of our funding but every dollar counts. So send us what ya got!

What do you do with all the bags that are not sold? We donate those bags to local shelters.

Are the bags cleaned? We do the best we can to clean the bags. We ask that when a designer bag is donated that you include a little information about it, like where it was purchased, the approx value, When the bag was purchased, etc. That way we are better prepared and know as much as the bag as possible.

So remember as you start your spring cleaning - DONATE, your MAKING A DIFFERENCE just by donating! If every lady that attended last year's event donated 2 purses... we would have over 1,000 bags!! WOW!!!

The Fairy Godmother Project Announced as the 2011 Charity

Tonight we are honored to present our new charity for 2011..... The Fairy Godmother Project!

The Fairy Godmother Project is a project of NEWMS (New Expectations for Women in Mississippi). It is a special project of CREATE, Inc. Which lends credibility to the project.


It is the brainchild of many philanthropic women in North Mississippi. It was started only about a year ago from the desire of these women to be able to help those who are less fortunate in our area. Some examples of things that they have done are: 
1. An was an elderly couple in our area who both had cancer and were receiving chemo treatments, were sleeping on the floor because they did not have a bed. The Fairy Godmothers provided the couple a bed, linens and pillows.

2. When a daycare for low income parents did not have shelving for the books and learning materials for their children - the Fairy Godmothers provided the funds necessary to build shelves for the daycare.
3. When a young mother graduated from the nursing assistant program, but did not have the money to buy her uniforms to start her new job, The Fairy Godmothers bought her uniforms so that she could start her new job with pride and provide for her children.

There will be more to come later, including the new poster, I just couldn't wait to let eveyone know.

Thanks to all those who attended tonight's social! and a special thanks to Mrs. Deborah Tierce for giving us the tools to be movtivated to move forward.
