Sorry for the delay. I just did not have the heart to post about 25 days of kindness yesterday, instead I chose to post about how life is fragile. So I hope that everyone had a chance to make up their own kindness for the day like hug a child and tell them that you love them.
Highlights from last week:
~ The smiling idea was pretty funny. We did get quite a few smiles back and quite a few puzzling looks. Even if it did not brighten the day of others, it always brightens the day of the person smiling. ;-)
~ Pumpkin and Princess helped me to make chocolate chip banana bread on Monday evening. We made paper ornaments on Tuesday evening and applesauce ornaments on Thursday evening. Then we decorated a gingerbread house kit yesterday. It is sort of fun looking with no roof (since both roof slabs were broken into three pieces each), but it is effective none the less.
~ We got our photographic Christmas cards printed earlier in the week and most of them made their way into the mail yesterday.
