I'm a super Busy Bee!

Im currently working, sewing away, Current Christmas orders as well as homemade gifts for family members. I love giving gifts from the heart. I find that people (mainly family ) love handmade, homemade gifts. It adds a personal touch filled with lots of love, thoughtfulness and uniqueness.
So I have a few things in the works...shhh, can't share exactly what I am working on just yet....you never know who's checking out my blog and wouldn't want to spoil any gift giving surprises. haha.
So will definitely be sharing a few of my latest creations.

RACK's (Random Acts of Christmas Kindness)

Our RACKs are going so well. The girls have been super excited to do a new task each day and spread the Christmas joy allover town.

Today it is raining though so I am trying to figure out what our RACK of the day will be. So far we have gathered shopping carts and brought them into the store at WalMart, CVS and the Dollar General store. We gave out a few random Christmas cards to strangers in Walmart parking lot. ..We picked up newspapers at the edges of neighbor's yards and brought them to their doorstep, left a treat for the postman...so let's see ...I need to come up with something to do today...and I just figured it out. I am baking a cake today for the girls. We've been planning to do this since Saturday. So instead, I may make cupcakes instead and share half of our batch with our little friend and her family. We have carpool this week so I think this would be an excellent treat/surprise for a wonderful friend and family.

What have your RACK's been so far?

RACK'ed (Random Acts of Chrismtas Kindness)

I got this idea from a friend and thought to myself...what an awesome way to countdown the days of Christmas (Advent) and teach my girls an important lesson on caring/sharing and the perfect gift of giving.

So Random Acts of Christmas Kindness is basically doing something for others. It can be opening the door for a stranger, giving someone a hand with their groceries, putting the carts back at the grocery store, leaving change around town on paper machines, soda machines, etc. You can pay someone's library fees, give out small gifts or gift cards. Have the kids draw pictures for a local senior living facility...the ideas are limitless.

So this week, leading up to Dec. 1st, I am going to make little notes to pass out along with our little gifts, etc so that people know what we are doing when we do them and hang them up on a pretty ribbon or something of the sort (like an advent calender) and each day we pull one of the cards and do something special that day .
this is gonna be super fun and hopefully the start of an awesome tradition for my girls and family each year.

I will have to blog about it so we can share our Advent journey.

many hugs and blessings.

It's Been a While...

Okay, so it has been a while since I posted here. I cant ever seen to remember that I have this thing. LOL and then can not ever remember my login info... okay, so I thought I would give it another shot... try to keep up with the blog. I love reading other blogs. Just cant seem to keep up with my own. LOL.
I have been terribly busy sewing, trying to catch up orders and then do some other sewing for other folks.
Now halloween is racing to catch up with me. I almost have the girls's costumes finished. A portion of them are complete.... so am almost finished with them as well as Chloe and Claudia's too.
I will update photos on the costumes as soon as I can.
