Secret Santa Party
I’m not bashful about asking my friends for money when it’s for a good cause. The hubby and I signed up to be Secret Santa for a foster child, and I figured some of our friends could pitch in so we could “adopt” even more kids. But when I was sticking my virtual hand out for the second time in a month, I had an idea! I crossed the guys off the list and invited the girls for a shopping & wrapping party. After we shopped for our three foster teens, we came back to my place, had bacon-wrapped dates (mmm) and burnt queso (Velveeta crock-potted on high for two hours=FAIL), and a little surprise white elephant-ish gift game. I wanted to give the girls a little thank you, so I whipped up some handmade gifts. Lesson learned: make an even bigger difference by making charity fun. And thanks to these bloggers for the inspiration!
