Toy Society Find...almost

Are you familiar with The Toy Society? I've heard mention of it on various craft blogs over the past two years or so. It was started in Australia where members would place a small, handmade toy in a plastic bag and leave it in a public place with a note that says "I'm yours, take me home!" The person who finds it can then go to the Toy Society blog and post a picture and report the toy as found.

I've always thought this was a nice, random act of kindness. To date, there have been over 1200 toys placed in locations all over the world from Singapore to Scotland to Turks and Caicos.

You can probably imagine my excitement when, for the past few days, I've noticed a little package tied to a sign on our drive to school. This morning I finally pulled over to investigate.

It turned out to be a child's pencil case. Someone must have found it and tied it to the sign for the owner to see. Darn. But it did inspire me to make a toy for the Toy Society and leave it somewhere. I'll have to dig through fabric tonight and see what I can come up with.
