Here's my desk...
At the front of the desk are the cross stitch decorations I have been making for the charity do my other half is putting on in aid of Child's Play. The characters are: Poison mushroom, two life hearts, star, Piranha plant, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mario, Green mushroom and two space invaders.
The plastic envelope package is my other good deed for Christmas this year. I'm part of a Random Act of Kindness (or RAK) group on Swapbot and i was recently invited to a swap called Sending Christmas Cheer For a L'il Girl. The girl in question is seven year old Lilly, who suffers with Guillain-Barre syndrome, or ascending paralysis that starts in the limbs and migrates to the torso. She is very poorly so i am sending her two colouring in books with pencils and a Christmas card after a conversation with her Grandma over what would be an appropriate gift. While she can still use her hands, I am told, she loves to colour things in. If you'd like to join in and send Lilly a Christmas card (gifts are optional), you can get her address here. Check on your country's last Christmas postage dates to the US (where she lives) first to avoid disappointment. For the UK, it's Monday 10th December.
The charity do is this Friday, so normal Christmas decorations etc will resume thereafter.
Have a lovely week everyone and see you next week!
