One Scrappy Mom is a friend of JILLY jellybug


Meet Jilly!

[ 7 ]July 27, 2010 | One Scrappy Mom
Jilly JellybugI want to introduce you to quite possibly the CUTEST little critter you’ve ever seen! Meet Jilly Jellybug. Jilly was created with an idea and doodle from her creator Kathleen. She was given a home on the web. Only her story is so much deeper. See she’s on a few little missions. One of these mission is to help save rain forests. We all know that rain forests are a very important part of the environment. They do so many things for the world. They are also becoming rare. A percentage of all Jilly jellybug sales goes towards rainforest and gorilla conservation! You can help make a difference with your purchase.
Jilly Jellybug is only ONE of the neat designs available! It also comes in her friends Gracie glowwormPavel Pollywog and Gamba gorilla. The characters are so unique, I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. My daughter did too. She is always wearing her Jilly Jellybug shirt. I love the bright colors and it’s very appealing to the eyes. The applique is on the shirt very well and even though it has been washed 6 thousand million times times, it’s still as bright and fresh as the first time she wore it! The shirts are made from a nice soft breathable cotton. The shirts are pretty good size and I didn’t notice any shrinking, so if there was it was much to minimal to notice. The story captivated my heart and I am honored to be able to have a Jilly Jellybug in my home!!

Sea Turtles Displaced by Gulf Oil Spill Return to Sea, thanks to Sea World Orlando


On July 8, SeaWorld Orlando released five Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles – displaced by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – into Gullivan Key near Marco Island, Fla. This particular body of water is popular habit for these endangered reptiles.

SeaWorld aquarists and veterinarians provided care for the reptilian refugees since their June 25, from the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies (IMMS) in Gulfport, Miss. the animals were being treated for injuries related to fishing hook sand line but need to make room for the possible arrival of animals with oil-related injuries. SeaWorld is one of the few organizations with the expertise to tend to Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles.
