Sara, I think it is great you and your children made up the shoeboxes for chilren in need. What a great tradition and learning opportunity.
I am going to link up with you in the morning. Take care.
I like the brown & cream colored mini cottage.
That is awesome that you guys do the shoe boxes. We do to and love it every year.
We used to love doing operation Christmas child. It was so fun to take the kids to help pick out toys to send out. Now that we left that church though I'm not in contact with who does it still around here. I miss it.
Have a great day my sweet friend.
