20 Days to 45 Countdown...

There are just under 3 weeks left until the kick off of my official year of charitable acts. Of course, I am not waiting until then to do my usual bit for mankind. I have donated hats and gloves to a warm clothing drive, I have helped my daughter purchase toys for her Christmas Stocking drive at school. I also have given blood to the Red Cross again. But these are the items normally on my list.

So, to get geared up for doing more, I have created a countdown list from today until 12/28 to prepare for my 45th year. Today's task:

"See Maggie at Maggie's Place about supporting the Operation Write Home Card Making Day" Maggie's Place is a lovely little crafting space owned by, you guessed it, Maggie. Today she held an open house in her new location so I went down to congratulate her. I took the opportunity to mention the Operation Write Home card making event, which she had seen on Facebook. She has a class scheduled that day but was happy to promote the event and ask crafters to donate cards to the cause! So my follow up task is to print the card criteria for her and give her details. Upcoming countdown tasks are to make lists of organizations, prep for the card making day, solicit donations from businesses, design a logo and make some Pinterest pins. (C'mon, some of it has to be fun!) :)
