104x15 is $1560 + 1172.78 already in hand is 2732.78, so the FReepers have done as well as I originally thought, garnering about 1900 in pledges as well as all the fabulous emails.
I'll try to get the accounting of my expenses done in the next couple of days, there was about $2400 for the silk and over $500 in labor, plus the baggies, the holiday paper, the ad to find seamstresses, a printer ribbon, strapping tape, postage of $92.75, and nobody's counting mileage/gas. I donated our old Christmas cards.
After Christmas we must all gather back if we get any response from the field and share it.
They're going to have to wait until Christmas to open them up?!
