am i bad?

so, there is this new movement afoot that i think is pretty hot! as you can see by the above logo, it is called "the 3/50 project". the gist of the deal is this: 1) you pick three 'local' (that means locally owned and operated businesses, not franchises or big box) stores; 2) from your three locally owned stores, you spend $50 each month at each store; 3) that helps save three businesses that put their time, energy and money back into the community!

great premise, great idea - exactly what my uncle don harped about year's ago - we need to buy american and buy from locally owned businesses in order to maintain our local economy and our nation's economy! i am really glad that he is taking this whole economic situation in from up above as he would be having a fit and falling into it at this point in time!!! especially the american car situation and the demise of pontiac - his favorite car brand! my aunt and uncle always drove american made cars because don felt that if we didn't purchase our own products made right here in america we were biting the hand that feeds us - who knew that his thoughts would be so prophetic?

anyhoo, here's where i am having just a tad bit of a problemo! my favorite three locally owned and operated stores that i would choose to help save are yarn shops!! go figure! i guess that isn't sooooooo bad a thing, but i had better get knittin'!!
