Make a Child Smile

I have pledged to Make A Child Smile, thanks to DeeDee who posted a beautiful card for a most heart warming reason. Please click here to view her post on her blog and the beautiful card.

Make A Child Smile (MACS) will be one of the Service Projects my Junior Girl Scout Troop participates in this year. If you feel up to it like making cards sending gifts making people smile including yourself, then let DeeDee know that you will make cards also and send them to MACS.

About Macs: Each month, new children are featured. A picture and biography describing the child and information about their family is published on the website. Hundreds of 'net surfers, schools, service organizations, girls/boys scouts and church groups use the MACS website as a philanthropic project where they can send cards, letters and small gifts to the featured children and their siblings through postal mail.

Our Mission: To provide emotional and financial support to families whose children suffer from chronic or life-threatening illnesses and also give those who visit the MACS website the opportunity to participate by sending mail to the children.


Have you made a child smile today?

My New TOY!


Yeah! With the money I have earned from babysitting, well at least some of it. I purchased a new IPOD! Mine was one of the bulkier ones, but it stopped holding a charge so I had to constantly have it in our radio dock to listen to the songs.. blech!
I purchased the new Chromatic (pink!) Nano 16gb... my DH's suggestion.
Let me tell you this thing is small, thing and so kewl!I can play games, watch videos, podcasts, movies, and of course listen to music!One of the kewl features my kids like is that if I want to shuffle my songs all I have to do is give it a shake and it shuffles.. Oh and this baby stays charged like a champ! I am so happy..

So I know I bore you with this stuff but current song count: 923 songs = 4.17Gb
Top 5 played songs: Can you guess?
5. Our Song -- Taylor Swift
4. So What --- Pink
3. How to Save A Life ---- The Fray
2. Decode ---- Paramore (a song from the Twilight Soundtrack)
1. Walking on Air ------- Kerli
Newest Song Additions: Marilyn Manson -- Heart Shaped Glasses, If I was Your Vampire, Dope Show, Beautiful People
Twilight Sound Track (Decode, Leave out all the Rest, I caught Myself, Flightless Bird) Great songs!
Pink - Funhouse Album

Twilight themed card..very simple front

This is actually the top of the card, and it is stamp upside down and glittered.. obviously if you were dazzled you could not read a card right..? :D
