Hi, everyone! I'm excited to be participating in this year's Samaratin's Purse, Operation Christmas Child. Collection week is next week, so if any of you want to get involved--you should get in gear! I decided to do a girl's Christmas box for a girl aged 10-14. I think a lot of people tend to pick the younger children, so I decided to go for an older age group. It's a lot of fun picking out a bunch of stuff for my shoe box... necessities and fun toys or stationary. It's a really great idea and I hope it'll make a difference in some child's life this Christmas. When I was doing my shopping at Target, in front of a whole row of children's socks--a nice lady came up to ask me if I had any idea what size to get for a 2-4 yr old--and she was doing OCC too! It was pretty fun shopping, knowing that there were a lot of others shopping in the same store for the same cause.

I should totally do this. I used to do the gift-tree at my church in Arlington, and usually picked an older kid too. Hmmm.
