Today my mom and sister came over and helped me make the felties. It didn't take long with their help and I really appreciated that they were willing to help me out. I have a hard time asking for help or donations and usually end up buying & doing everything myself. I usually post something on FB about the gift shop and I did have a few people donate some things last year that I saved for this year. (I received their donations later than I needed them) It's a little bit stressful sometimes but I am always glad that I am able to help this wonderful cause. I also am asked to volunteer two 3-hour shifts at the Festival of Trees. The last two years I just take back to back shifts so I don't have to drive down two days.
I was quite frustrated today when I couldn't find the candy I had put away to fill the felties. I remember where I first put it but it wasn't there. I slightly remembered putting it somewhere else that it wouldn't be seen at all but I could not find it. I looked everywhere I could think of a few times. I prayed over and over....finally hours later...like 6 I went in the laundry room again and looked in all the same spots again. My laundry room is messy....it is also my craft room...and catch all room. I had some scarfs on the counter by the box with the gifts for the Gift Shop and this time I decided to lift the scarfs up and "surprise" there it was. Relief! The felties are now filled and ready to deliver on Monday! I just have to put cellophane wrap around the Gift Shop items now so they will also be ready. Then I have to decide what I am going to make for the Sweet Shoppe so I can take it with me when I volunteer on December 4th.
