It's December! YES! I love December for lots and lots and lots of reasons. I love wrapping paper, bows, tacky tinsel, and white lights. I also love experiencing all of those things with M, and now J. It's amazing to see the world in a new way. It's extra exciting this year for several reasons.
1. I love my job. I continue to enjoy teaching and this year I am teaching a lot of art classes, which has allowed me time to get back into painting- something I have always loved, but allowed to flop onto the back burner.
2. My laundry is mostly done. That's amazing.
3. I will get to spend time with lots of friends and family this month, and that's the BEST.
Really though, some awesome stuff has come together in the last 24 hours which is great because it will benefit many during this season of giving! Drumroll please, and be prepared for some unabashed fundraising. Through Kai's story I found out about two organizations that rock- Peach's Neet Feet and Maxlove. The women that run those organizations reached out to me via Kai's Village to donate to the raffle we are having next weekend at the Holiday Market- with proceeds going to Kai's Village, Sherry's House, and Why Me? If you are local and would like to "stop for a reason, shop for the season" check out all the details. What Madison and Audra do through their organizations is just awesome- and I am totally excited to help spearhead the Love + Light initiative for Maxlove here in Boston!!! I'm working on sharpening up my painting skills so I can paint for Peach too, but my outlining skills really need to improve first!
That said, consider donating- $30 to Peach's Neet Feet provides a pair of sneakies for a child battling terminal illness, and just $15 to Maxlove provides a snuggly hat and Twilight Turtle (Thank you Cloud B!) to these brave kids too! Or shop at the holiday market- 100% of my proceeds at the Mama Bee Goods table will be donated to Kai's Village, Peach's Neet Feet, and Maxlove.
Really, doesn't that all sound MUCH better than fighting the crowds at the mall?
