Welcome to this wonderful adventure of giving. You started off with a lovely gift that will mean so much to a sick child. It's great that you are teaching your daughter to give to those less fortunate ;-)

today, I was completely exhausted from work. My gift will have to be to my daughter by making Christmas cookies with her. she dropped a bag of flour and it exploded, and I was definitely not feeling it, but we ended up having a nice little chat and she must be exhausted too because she walked over to the couch and fell asleep :)

thankyou all so much for the encouraging words! I havent had a second to check out anyone and their sights yet and their stories! Tomm were gonna re-lax! and than I get to do that! today we just did a little baby gift at Wal-Mart for toys for Tots. Were gonna try to focus less on store bought stuff, and I think it's easy for us because it's Christmas and we'd be buying 29 gifts anyway! so were gonna try to be more personal I think, plus were both shy so were getting away easy doing the drop off… Continue

ok! I only have a sec! today we got a "treasure" for Rora's aunt Rose, Gingerbread mix for cookies for her uncle Gill, and a treat for their dog Diamond. they see Rory every Wednesday when she sees her dad and she has dinner and they are super great people. she always comes home with some little treasure that Rose found for her. also we gave an older lady some $, that was asking by the side of the road, she didnt want to take it because she said I had a little one! but she did, that's it!

Colleen Friday said… - Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

Oh, and I also gave a tip even though I had food to go. I wasn't going to leave it but then changed my mind and went back in to give it to the waitress since the homeless lady outside whom I was going to give it to had already left.
My relationship continues to be in crisis and I continue to spiral down. However, I manage to find little ways of giving and these make me if not happy at least satisfied. Today I cleaned out the refrigerator as I had promised my roommates I would d…
I was also diagnosed with MS in 2006. I'd love to hear this CD! Thanks for offering this to us Caitlin xkx
