It's that time again! I gathered up all the toys I bought throughout the year and they filled two huge bags! I am so excited I could almost say I'm more excited than the children getting the presents but I doubt that LOL!
Also Dollar Tree is collecting toys for children of military personnel stationed overseas so when you go in there either pick up a few extra toys or donate a couple of dollars if you can.

I know it's tighter than last year and many cannot afford to give like they did. I hope those of you who make mittens, hats, scarves, etc are able to do so it makes a giant difference in the life of a child to have these things and I truly believe there is Love like Magic left in the items by those who made them.

I know many of you do the shoeboxes too that is wonderful!

I hope this is a happy and bright holiday season for everyone!

Awesome! I know how excited you are, I've been packing my shoe boxes this week and I feel the same way. My only problem is that I've found so many great deals this past year that I can't fit everything I want to inside the shoe boxes. That's why I'm still working on packing them. (LOL) I may have to bite the bullet and buy some plastic totes. Ouch!

I so enjoy doing these anonymous gifting projects. As much as I am sure these gifts are appreciated and loved by the recipients, I feel I get much more in the gathering and giving for my own heart and soul.

Good job ladies!

Don't forget to keep a list of the toys and their 'fair maket value'. If you donate to a charitable organization, in most cases you can deduct the donation off your taxes.
