Needed Christmas Angels


There is a family that is in need of some Christmas Angels. They have a son 11 years old and a daughter 10. Both parents work but have had some emergencies (fridge stopped working, problems with heating, glasses for both children, illness, medications not covered by insurance, death in the family,etc) that have taken their small savings and put them behind in other things. They are working on catching up their house payments, utilities and keeping food on the table. I know they are under a lot of stress and am hoping there are some of my blog neighbors that would like to be a Christmas Angel and send a gift to one of the children. It would put presents under the tree and would take a little burden off the parents. If you think you would like to be a Christmas Angel please email me and I will send you the children's sizes and the family address. Socks, underwear, a small toy or book, it doesn't matter how small the gift. The ideal is help 2 children have a happy Christmas and put a smile on our own face at the same time.

Thank You Lib!

Lib and I decided to do a little trading. She made some beautiful dish towels that I will be giving as Christmas gifts. Each set was made special to match each kitchen. She did a wonderful job but since they are gifts I can't show pictures. What I can show is the surprise towels and gift bags Lib included for me! She made me a goat towel!! I love it and am hanging it on the door of my Hoosier cabinet. She also made a snowman star towel. She remembered I love and collect snowmen, isn't she the best! She made 2 different size gift bags too. Thank you so much Lib, I love everything! I have your package ready to take to the post office in the morning. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am mine. Trading or bartering is a great way to save money but get Christmas gifts. I have gifts for 5 from this trade and I know they are going to love them. I am also doing some trading with a few ladies on etsy. Christmas gifts without spending lots of money sure makes my day.
