This holiday season I have been mostly working on projects for donations. You may remember my post on The Giving Store Donation of wrist purses. This is the second and third batch of items that includes 48 microwave bowl holders, approximately 30 lip gloss holders, travel tissue holders, and several more wrist purses. I hope to get a few more items completed after Thanksgiving. Not all will be in the donation boxes as some are designated for others.
When I worked for the city I met a lot of wonderful and giving people who made helping people in their community their project. Some of these people work and volunteer at the local health center. The hours are long and very tiring but many continue to work long after their assigned shifts are over. They patiently help people with not only medical issues but filling out numerous forms for all things to include housing assistance, help finding day care, and locating services that are out of their area of expertise. These are unsung heroes of this little community and will be getting little packages for the holidays.
I know with my limited resources I cannot make a big difference but I can give a few people a little surprise this season and let them know they are appreciated.
Thank you for visiting our little blog today. I would love to borrow/nab your holiday giving ideas for little gifts if you would like to share.
If everyone does a little, a whole lot will get done.

looks like you’ve been making a batch of lip-balm pouches, the same as I’ve been making my tissue pouches . . . great minds, eh?

Aww, Peggy! You are a true gem. 48 cozies!! Holy moly – those took a while to make (or at least the dozen I made took me a while). Those lip gloss holders are so cool! I know those volunteers will love them, and even more love that some appreciates them enough to make something special just for them. {{Hugs}} I would love to be able to volunteer to do something like that when I’m retired. My SIL has done something similar, helping to prepare taxes, pay bills, etc. Sami is one lucky puppy having such a caring and giving mom. ~smile~ Roseanne

Those are cute gifts.
I made some Christmas burrito pillow cases to give as gifts on Thanksgiving.
I also made some table mats.
My friend made some real cute Christmas drawstring gift bags.

What great ideas. I forgot about pillowcases and mats. The drawstring bags would be cute to hold the little gifts. Thanks.
