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!

Winter with a twist...

I have been playing around with my photo editor...
and some photos that were too dark to do anything with...
came out kind of funky...
not my normal style...
but still cool...
LOOK!
SNOW!
that's #2...
only 23 more to go...
this could be a long winter...
I'm working on 3 more TP rolls and then I'm cleaning up my mess...
putting my supplies up...
and taking the table back so we can eat our meals there again...
there is room just for 2 right now...
things are going ok here...
hope you are ok, too!

Pay It Forward...

There is a thing going around on FB...
and I thought it was such a good idea...
for today, December 1st...
It's Pay It Forward Day

all you need to do is one act of kindness to a total stranger...
pay for someone's coffee...
buy someone's lunch...
if you can offered it...
do more...
who ever is in line with you at the store...
add it to your bill...
you know there is always someone standing there with a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk...
what ever you end up doing...
smile, tell them Merry Christmas and to Pay It Forward!
