NOTE: CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU SEE 2 PHOTOS OF THE BAGS OR JUST ONE .. AND IF ITS JUST 1 PHOTO YOU SEE WHICH ONE (ON THE RIGHT OR ON THE LEFT ) PLEASE LET ME KNOW … THANKS A BUNCH HAVING A PROBLEM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO UPLOAD WHILE ON VACATION ..
OK NOW do you see a third photo above of the same bags .. Thanks everyone ..
Today is my daughters last day of school, tommorrow starts her Christmas Break until Jan 3rd ( my moms Birthday ) . She has a class party scheduled for the last 1/2 of the school day today , So Yesterday I made up these bags with the baby santa candy wrappers and a Snowman poop/ Reindeer poop inside .. I just used white paper bags and used the STAR STUDDED wheel on them and folded the top down and wheeled that part also added a strip of Ballet bue CS and stamped Merry Christmas from the "Many Merry Messages " stamp set , Then added a tag with lt blue gingham ribbon .. super easy and quick.. these will be given to her classmates at their party today .( yes she has only 8 in her class Thank goodness ) Jessie and 2 of her good friends are doing a personal gift exchange and she got them each a magnet neckless ( Plus I threw in a mouse candy cane holder for each of them ) ..Have you ever seen them before ? ( the neckless that is ) They are sooo cool so many things you can do with these… Wear as a neckless , Bracelet, around ankle, around waist they are really cool, No closure Just all magnets ..
Today I must TRY to start packing some things , I need to do maybe 1 more load of Laundry then start gathering everything .. ( Dont want to forget something KWIM?) so what do you think of the photo post today .. Its a test run .. What I did is I added a photo album of things I can try and upload to my blog while in TN .. Got a bunch of things in there Just for me to use so you all will have to stay tuned to see if It works ..YUP I was a stampin Fool yesterday .. making things especially for when I am in TN so I can still post to my blog ( Crossing fingers it all works Cause I will be the one going through Withdraws from Posting ) .. Now we just wait and see if it really works .. In my photo album I just click on photo and then right click then paste it into my blog posting .. Not to sure how much bandwidth this way uses But I guess I am about to find out .. I know the photos are Much larger for some Reason ..?? Not to sure why that is .. But if it lets me post the next week from another computer than that would be SO GREAT!! I know I will not be able to access my Comcast email account so I will be switching my email link on my blog to my Yahoo account so I can still read your comments/ emails.. ( HOPEFULLY) But for some reason If I am not able to get back to you Please dont think I am being rude and ignoring you it would be due to I am not able to reply . Okey dokey ….
Yesterday I talked with Bro Bishop ( He is the man that runs the HOPE center in Detroit for the homeless… We are all heading back down for another vist on New Years eve night ..I am sooo excited ) anywho .. I have been praying about something and I had to finally call Bro Bishop and ask what he thought about my Brain storm of an idea .. good thing I asked Because it doesnt look like it will come to pass this time around since its new Years eve and not enough time .. ( we will be there for only 2-3 hours this time because the hope center has something else going on with a church service there and we only have until 6pm New years eve so the people can have enough time to get to the shelters to sleep ) BUT Bro Bishop and I will be praying about it coming to pass in the near future.. What I wanted to do is give haircuts to the homeless.. Not to sure how this would all be done But I have been praying about this for about 3 weeks now .. I know how I feel after I get my haircut .. I just thought it may lift their spirits also .. Who Knows it may help change someones life ( Thats the HOPE) I know whats a silly Haircut ?.. But Lord Knows we take so many things for granted and who knows how long it has been since they have had a haircut .. Everyone is Human, We all feel the same right ? and if a Haircut gives someone a boost isnt that worth it all .. SOOO Bro Bishop and myself and maybe YOU can be praying that this comes to pass in the near future What a blessing that would be for everyone ..
Thank you for looking in today and if your one of my many morning blog readers please be sure to check out last nights posting below as well, with so many Beautiful things I have recieved in the mail I would hate for you to miss viewing all those goodies ..
Have a Great Wednesdayand see you tommorrow
Until later ..Happy Stampin!!












I think the haircut idea is TERRIFIC!!! Maybe it can be done at the same time when they get to pick up some clothes. You know, the whole “new clothes, new haircut” deal.
I look forward to reading your post while you are away. You are my second stop on the internet in the morning, after email.
Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family and friends.
Yes, a small class size is nice for many reasons! The bags are cute and I’m sure her classmates will love the though…even if they don’t say anything!
Sounds like you are getting things figured out for your trip. Hopefully you’ll be able to still blog ‘cuz you know how my tears will flow if you don’t! ;0)
Have a great Wednesday!
Dawn – giving the homeless a haircut is a wonderful idea. Something I don’t think many would think they would appreciate, but I think it would be. Hopefully you can find another better time to fit that in! Have a safe and wonderful trip to TN!
How ’bout “New Year, NEW YOU” type of theme for the haircuts? Believe it or not, something as simple as a haircut is taken for granted by many people until they can’t afford it. How do you think my hair grew so long? That was one of the luxuries I’ve had to do without over the past 2 1/2 years. Not to mention no nails either.
So, here’s another brainstorm, manicures…….. in addition to the haircuts. You wouldn’t believe what the power of “touch” can do for someone without any hope.
Anyhow, when I pulled up your blog today, I get the error “Image NOT AVAILABLE”
This is the first time that has happened. darn.
ok, now i can see the bags. They look just marvelous! How simple, but yet elegant. Great job!
I see 2 photos Dawn. I hope this will work while you are gone or I will have withdrawal!!! Have a great trip and a wonderful, joyous Christmas.
Cheryl
I see both pictures……….the small one is OK, as long as we are able to click on it and goes to a larger image.
I can see the 1st 2 pictures but not the third.
2 photos – yes. third photo – no…just a little red X in a box.
