Review Extravaganza Part 2 April, May and June!!!

So as I was going through these posts I found out that a bunch of the images I posted are no longer showing up.. which really bugs me, I was uploading them from my computer to blogger, so if anyone knows of a way to fix/stop this I’d be grateful!!

12 Days of Christmas Day 2 Give or Receive?

Today’s topic is would you rather give or receive? This is not a hard one at all for me, I would definitely rather give than receive.

This post will have links to where you can go and help, or read about different ways to give this holiday season.

I also am a big believer in helping out those less fortunate then ourselves especially during the holidays.

For example I donate my change every time I go into a store with the Salvation Army Kettles out front.

I ALWAYS do the Salvation Army Angel Trees, they are at almost every mall and you can check your town/state and see, it is really easy, you pick a tag, the tag has a child’s name, age, sizes and wish list on it and you buy that child a gift.

Then there is Toys For Tots, Run by marines they give toys to children that would be going with out this holiday.

Speaking of soldiers, Operation Shoebox is something my church back in SC did every year. You fill a box up with personal care and cheer items for soldiers and mail it off, they get it while serving away from home, and know that at least one person/family is thinking of them.

And finally most churches and city's have a homeless gift bag program, where you fill up gift bags with toiletries for the homeless and they are passed out to them.

Also in the more immediate sense, I adore getting my friends and family gifts, the look on their faces when they open something that I searched for and they love warms my heart and makes my day.

 

What about you? Do you like to Give Or Receive?

12 Days Of Christmas Day 1 My Wishlist!

Day one is what is on your wishlist.

My wishlist is actually not that big this year, I mean I have a few “if I won the lottery” items but honestly I didn’t ask for all that much.

1. This is on EVERY Christmas wish list I’ve every written – Snow… I want a White Christmas.

I would also like to not have to work, although I know I will.

2. Clothes, I have a lot of clothing but most of it is over 4 years old, has holes and is just generally tattered looking. So I asked for clothing or gift cards to stores with clothes this year.

3. Photo Paper – I use photographic paper in my classes at University and the supplies can be a little expensive, We usually go through at least 150 sheets of paper a semester and each pack of 25 runs about $30 so I asked for my family to buy me photo paper if possible.

4. This is an if I were to win the lottery item --

A Nikon D5300 for my Digital Photography class this fall.

 

What’s on your wish list??
