Since October I have been making "literacy gift " packs for the Salvation Army Op shop. I volunteer there 2 mornings a week sorting the donated toys. I have been collecting good toy, puzzles and games and matching them with relevant good children's books that are also donated. I made about 300 packs all up and they have all sold for $3 - 5. Now do do my own Christmas organizing :)
Great work Denise I am sure your hard work is appreciated. Seems I have had a full time job this week with the Salvation Army toy appeal here this week. Most of it done now.
They look great and what a neat idea! That's awesome that you volunteer too- they are a good organization.
On a different note- yes, your moon looks upside-down to us, and ours upside-down to you. I think that is one of the most fun aspects of 365- seeing the opposite hemispheres in "action" in the moon and the seasons.
What a WONDERFUL idea and such a worthy task! It makes those disconnected items a real Christmas present and for such a good cause! Nicely done, your worthy volunteerism!
Brilliant idea, and beautiful execution, Denise! And yes, @Weezilou -- this does intrigue me! I wish Denise lived close by so I could donate many books!
