Get Your Booty Back…to School

Posted on Jul 22, 2010 06:05:28 PM

Let me explain, in case you’ve missed the big news and…well, if you’ve missed me at all….

I was fortunate enough to be part of a program with Elmer’s Glue and a project know as Bag It Forward (#bagitforward).  If you wanna see the Whrrl story about my shopping adventures or misadventures in some cases, that will be live here on my blog now.  If you want to see it before then, you can see it on Whrrl where my ID there is "jareason".

Now, if you recall, last year I did a program with Adopt-A-Classroom and while this is different, this also benefits those in need that are registered there.
