THE ART OF GIVING
THE ART OF GIVING: Thanks for stopping by and getting involved in this great opportunity.

*Please check previous blog post below for our last challenge's winner!
Most often during Valentine's Day we give our Sweeties, our family members and sometimes even our dear friends a valentine just to show them how much we really care. That is what Valentine's Day is all about right? Well let's make a paradigm shift here. Let's pay it forward for a moment shall we? Is there someone in your life that does something special everyday for you that you never acknowledge? Maybe it is the girl behind the Starbucks counter that always hands you your coffee with a smile morning after morning. Or your paper delivery boy who doesn't throw your paper in the wet grass just before the sprinklers go on. Your neighbor who collected your mail while you were away? You get the picture right?
So here is your mission if you wish to accept it. It is a simple task, make a Valentine's Day card for your new unexpecting Valentine just to let them know that they are appreciated. Isn't that a simple challenge? Inside the card, write the person a short little note telling he/she why you appreciate him/her. That is it! Here are a few examples of cards that we made :0)
Here is my card. I made this for my neighbor that is a teenager. NOt only does she babysit my kids and play with them,but she took care of my dog while we were on vacation. Just as a favor. Sweet kid. She is getting a little treat inside this card ;0)
Here is Illyse's Card: She made this for her Daughter's preschool teacher. It is important to note that her daughter has been out of preschool for 2 years now, however she still appreciates what an impact she made during her daughter's preschool years. Illyse wanted her to know how much she still appreciates her.
Just think how this simple gesture will make such a great difference in someone's day! Please take the time to do this for someone who makes a difference in your day!
