-------------------------------------

Example story:

I have a pair of skinny jeans and fat jeans that have been sitting in my closet for years, and was happy to auction them on eBay, and give the proceeds to one of my favorite charities, Make-A-Wish because I have a nephew who had a life threatening illness. Here I blog more about what this meant to me: {insert link}

I got my bowling league in on the action too, and here’s pictures of us with our un-used jeans. The whole team sold their jeans and gave the proceeds to Room To Read because we think reading is important! {insert link}

I blog about weight loss for women and followed your Skinny Jeans blog back when it was up and running. Now I've found your new one and I think it's such a great idea. Not only have I been clearing out my closet to remove some clutter, but I find it so much easier to get rid of jeans (and other clothing) when I donate it to the Local Women's Shelter. I know these women need what I'm not using so I feel good giving it up for them. I'll send people over to you from my blog http://lifedietbalance.blogspot.com
