{ spread some sunshine - weeks 3&4 }


The past couple of weeks have been so busy with visitors and preparations for Thanksgiving.  I admit that we haven't made very much time for intentional sunshine spreading. 
We did manage to sneak in a few things, however:

Put together and sent a care package to troops overseas through Operation Gratitude. 
(lots of how-to info here, if you're interested)

Donated a heaping box of gentley used toys to Goodwill.

Left a coupon for a FREE frozen pizza taped to the product in the grocery store.

Are you making time to spread sunshine during this busy time of year? It seems more important than ever, given the meaning of the season. But, whew! We are finding it to be a bit of a challenge!

On another topic, are you braving the crowds and shopping today?  I think I'll be doing a good deal of mine this coming cyber Monday.  Also, don't forget to support local businesses and independent artists and crafters by shopping 'small' on "Small Business Saturday"!

we decided to NOT get an $80 live christmas tree this year. instead we are putting up our sorry little 6 foot artificial number (the kind that's $24 at big lots...it's really pretty sad) and we are going to spend the $80 on toys for needy boys and girls. as "un-blog-worthy" as our tree may be, every time i look at it i am happy with the decision we made. :)

What a brilliant idea, Elisabeth! This is such a beautifully selfless thing to do! You are going to make Christmas quite magical for some very lucky kiddos!
