I just ordered some art work from her for gifts. You are right on about how special these artists are. <br />I like your keeping a coat in your car idea. I have some of my older coats and my husbands, what a great idea to put them to use.

I have too many coats and keep wanting to donate them, and then I don't.. but I like the idea of carrying a couple in the car for when I see a family or people asking for help. I almost always give a few dollars if I can too. Sounds like you are in "full speed ahead" mode! I'm not anywhere near ready for Christmas!

And chocolate-covered potato chips...oh my gosh...I would eat myself sick! :-) Yesterday, while at Wally World, I found some Oreo-flavored candy canes! I have them sitting on the counter so that I can drool over them before I tear into them and eat the whole box! <br /><br />I love the idea of keeping the bags in the car for the homeless! Everyone seems to think about them during the holidays, but we need to remember them all year! I will definitely be doing this for all year round!

I am always going out to visit my small business friends for a chat AND a purchase! Unfortunately, this past weekend, I was unable to go buy from them, but I do know that via IG, a few of them got some business from my photo shares. That's about all I can do at times, but it's so fun to help spread the talent! <br /><br />Having fun decorating? Any snow for you?

Sad. A lot of the homeless have shelters and are just begging for money for their habit but there are those that live outside that will appreciate this stuff. Around by me their are not a lot of homeless either but when we drive into Chicago to see the lights and do other things there are so many homeless. Especially on Lower Wacker Drive. It is underground and they camp out down there. So sad to see so many without homes, jobs or good lives. <br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />KrisJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-63608488876216181032018-11-27T15:19:54.861-06:002018-11-27T15:19:54.861-06:00You are seriously the most thoughtful person, Kris...You are seriously the most thoughtful person, Kris - I sure wish we lived closer!! Wonderful ideas, that blessing bag is the best. We don't see any homeless in my area but I remember when I lived in NYC I used to go into a restaurant and get a meal wrapped up and give it to someone on the street. Sadly they didn't always want it, they wanted cash for their addiction.
