my evening...

3 new TP rolls...
have got to come up with a better name for these before I price them...
I'm thinking $3.50 for them...
Rebecca was shopping today at Daisy Lane, they are a scrapbook store with booths of crafts and antiques...
and found some fun stuff for us on clearance...
so I'm waiting on delivery before these are finished...
I am also out of string tags...
yeah...
like how did that happen?
so I made some out of card stark and my large star punch...
stamped on a snowflake...
CCCUUUUTTTTEEEE!
this is our Christmas Is A Child program...
we collect toys and let parents come in a pick out gifts for their children...
the only goal- no child wakes on Christmas morning to nothing under the tree...
this is the 4th year for this...
this is my last year...
I am just not able to keep up with it all...
so I have let everyone know and put it out there for someone to step up and take my place...
It is not important that I do this...
God will send who he needs and after much prayer...
He will call another heart...
it will be done...

for the Pay It Forward Day
MY FRIEND WHO POSTED THIS ON FB...
LEFT A COMMENT TONIGHT...
SHE PAID FOR THE CAR BEHIND HER TODAY AT MCDONALD'S...
I THINK THAT'S SO COOL!...
I THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS THE WHOLE MONTH...
JUST PICK ONE DAY A WEEK TO SO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW...
AND JUST THINK IF WE ALL DID THIS ALL YEAR LONG...
PEOPLE WOULD THINK WE WERE NUTS...
AND GOD WOULD BE SMILING SO BIG!

JUST AN IDEA...
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE...
WHEN I WORKED AT THE ANTIQUE MALL...
IN THE WINTER...
I WOULD CARRY HERSEY KISSES IN MY POCKET...
AND WHEN SOMEONE WOULD COME IN I WOULD DO MY NORMAL GREETING...
THEN I WOULD FOLLOW THEM...
AKA- STALKING...
AND ASK...
DO YOU WANT A KISS?...
THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES!
IF IT WAS A HUSBAND AND WIFE...
I ALWAYS ASKED HIM...
AND IT WAS KIND OF WEIRD ASKING A WOMAN...
BUT THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES WERE PRICELESS...
AND BEFORE THE FLIES COULD SET UP SHOP IN THEIR OPEN MOUTHS...
YOU KNOW THE MOUTHS THAT WERE TRYING TO FORM WORDS, BUT NOTHING CAME OUT...
I WOULD HOLD OUT A KISS SWINGING BY THE PAPER THING...
AND SMILE THE WHOLE TIME...
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK OF RELIEF ON THEIR FACES...
BWAHAHAHA...
IT WAS FUN AND GOOD PR...
THEY ALWAYS CAME BACK...
YOU COULD DO THIS AT WORK...

SO HAVE A GOOD NIGHT...
SLEEP TIGHT...
DON'T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE!

You sure do make a lot of cute and creative things. AND I love the Pay it forward idea of paying for the car behind you at McDonalds. I'm going to start doing that. Have a blessed day Tete.

Tete-you never stop inspiring me-I love you!

I love the Do You Want A Kiss? I am soooo going to do that! The perfect "gag"!

Okay- We have to have a "naming game" for those TP things. How about Romantic Rolls? Or...Raptured Rolls...Recaptured & Enraptured Rolls....Papered Pleasure(s)..OR (my favorite) Poopy Paper Thingys. Bwahahahaha Diana

Hi Sweet Tete...your holiday rolls are so pretty! You are soooo creative.
The idea of paying for the car behind you is a good one. I think I'll do that next time I'm in line.
have a great day, my friend.

Your holiday rolls are adorable, Tete! I loved your background so much....I didn't deliberately steal yours though. Here's what happened. Shabby Blogs announced that they are making changes in what they are offering due to prices from Photobucket, and my background was going to go away! So I had to find something else. I do love this one, and it's good for not only Christmas, but all winter. Thanks for all the kind things you do for others. I loved your asking others if they want a kiss!!! lol
Blessings and hugs, Beth

So funny about the kisses! I would have died laughing if I had witnessed this! And so important to share the wealth, too! That's awesome! I will see if I can come up with a name for your pretty tp rolls. they are way too pretty to be called that!!
