Hugged My Heart #17

Here is Brady *acting* pathetic and sad.  I really don't know what possessed him to do this but we were just sitting around eating dinner and he decided that this is the way he should look.  I think he's a giant goofball.  And he's one of the HAPPIEST kids you've ever seen in your life.  I'm pretty sure he was just hamming it up for the camera.

Here's this week's list:

1. Heidi Sonbol's Secret Santa post.  I love Heidi!  You can really tell she has an amazing heart.  And I think this post is really awesome!  I am so excited to start this challenge and I can't wait until the 10th when she posts all the details.  Also, I think it's REALLY cool that she said that it's hardly any money.  We are pinching pennies this year (no Christmas gifts for each other, only one gift for Brady) since things have been really hard for us.  But I am always looking for ways to spread love and cheer to others.

2. Sherry Campbell.  I just love Sherry!  She's so sweet and so very talented!  I also think it's wonderful that she takes time out of her very busy day to leave comments on her friends cards to really offer support.  Sometimes, a few words of kindness is all you need to really push you onto your next project.  Thanks Sherry, you've inspired me to go do the same!

3.  Lauren Meader's Raising Awareness post.  Did you know that Lauren Meader is #7 on the Stamping Top 50?  The woman is a paper genius.  But it doesn't stop there.  She is ALWAYS posting about wonderful causes to help spread the word about things.  That's why she ends up on this list a lot.  :)  This week's post is about something VERY close to my heart, Autism.  Before Brady, I used to do therapy for children with Autism.  They hold a VERY special place in my heart.  I wish I could donate, but I can't this time.  But if you can, please do.  Even $5 helps with the research.

4. Happy Mail!  It's always nice to receive a card, a letter, a package, or a random act of kindness in your mail box.  I mean, really we usually have a box full of bills and junk!  Yuck!  I just love getting anything that isn't a bill or garbage.  I need to start sending more happy mail, I've been slacking since I got pregnant.  

That's it for this week!  I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week and don't forget to play the EtsyInspired challenge!
