Our Operation Christmas Child Experience

God blesses us each and every year to be involved

in this special program in some unique way.

One year it was my daughter's Girl Scout troop

picking up and delivering box

as well as taking care of the drop-off station.

Another year, my son assisted his teacher to

encouraged their entire school to donate

and were able to collect boxes from 90 out of 300 children.

Some years it's simply the fun of filling our own boxes.

One seems to never be enough for my children.

The feeling they get shopping for and filling their boxes is

indescribable!

*

Here is a little note my daughter slipped into her box...

*

Such love!  May God bless our boxes and all of the boxes

to touch the hearts of many children this Christmas!

And may he bless each and every hand that offers to help

in any way possible to get these boxes into the hands

of the loved and cherished young children!

Blessings in particular to my friend, Andrea

and her sweet sweet family!

Some blog awards come with "do this and then do that's"

but this one just came to me with genuine love.

THAT is what makes it so very special!

Thank you, Wynne, for thinking of me with this award!

Thank you for much more than that...

God has blessed me with YOU more than you know!

Therefore, I am rewarding YOU, sweetie,

with a couple of awards for your blogs.

This one is my absolute favorite (now next to yours.)

Your "Way on the Web" is a sweet and subtle

Your heart for Jesus inspires me each and every day.

Keep it up, girl!

Always share His love!

Tiny Baby-Tiny Book-Tiny Baby Book

I love MOSD Perfectly Shaped Build a Book elements!

I actually like cutt'em up and challenging myself

to do more than the obvious of building a book

(although I REALLY like using them as is also!)

*

This tiny baby book uses only the center portion of the

Perfectly Shaped Scalloped Square piece

from the Build a Book pieces.

I simply trimmed it so I had 3 equal scallops

to make my tiny book.

Then I covered the BaB piece with some SU! DSP

and added some 3x6" pieces of the same DSP for pages.

I like how the pages peek out from each other.

I simply used my Cropadile to punch holes in the binding

and bound it with grosgrain ribbon.

*

Super easy and super cute!
