AUTHOR: ~~ Lisa TITLE: Holiday Cheer, Indeed! DATE: 12/17/2008 08:37:00 AM ----- BODY:
Do you realize next week at this time it will be Christmas Eve? ZOMG! (And, it'll be my son's 4th birthday, too!) Wow, how the holiday season has just flown past! I know a family who's been hit with very hard times. They have four children and are not having Christmas this year, and that just breaks my heart. This year is the first year that my husband and I have been comfortable enough financially to not have to choose whether to buy presents or pay the utilities, so I can relate. So we at TinkerAndPo have decided that: ALL SALES TODAY - 100% OF EVERYTHING SOLD TODAY - WILL GO TO BENEFIT THIS FAMILY AND HELP THEM HAVE A CHRISTMAS! I know it's hard around this time of the year to give money...nobody has any extra, and if you do, it goes towards all the extra expenses of the season. BUT, if you've been entertaining the idea of buying a pair or pairs of gloves for yourself or as gifts, TODAY is the day to do it! I know as a network, we are powerful. Crafters, everyone knows, have the biggest hearts and are the first to pull together in a time of need. Let's get together to see how much Holiday Cheer we can give this family! Thank you SO much, everyone! Without you, TinkerAndPo would not have been a success, and we wouldn't be able to do this! Please be viral with this post - blog about it, link it, Tweet and reTweet it, MySpace it, Facebook it, text it, tell people in your office or school. It's today only so let's see what we can do!

You have a large heart indeed to reach out in this way at your first financial opportunity. No matter how much is raised, the family has already received the gift of your love. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Blogger Sarah Jane DATE:Dec 17, 2008, 5:40:00 PM What an amazingly kind thing for you to do! :)
