Snow in November

That's right it has already snowed here. Actually this is the second time this season but the first one didn't stay at all. The girls enjoyed the snow especially Ella.

Elizabeth was a little cold and preferred to watch from inside.

What will you give this Christmas?

Hello everyone. Wanted to ask you what will you give this Christmas? Since money is tight and there is so much need out there I wanted to share with you World Visions Gift Catalog. The girls and I made a Shepard's pouch to collect money to purchase something from World Vision for those in need around the world. http://www.worldvisiongifts.org/

The girls will get money for each thing they do around the house to help and then before Christmas we will collect the money and select and item from the catelog to purchase such as a duck for eggs, medicine, water, clothing. We want them to learn to serve others just as Jesus served.

Now here is a picture of my attempt at the pouch. Now you know why I don't do crafts. Ha Ha! I made it out of felt and sowed the edges. Hey I even have a snap closure.
