Since I created this blog/project, A LOT has happened in my life. For instance, I bought and moved into my first house, which gives me a lot more space, including my very own craft room. Think of all the beauty I can create there!
Recently, I’ve experienced a lot of losses and to fill the grief I started couponing. My friends, you can get some really great deals out there! Coupons can be like gold if you know how to use them. I started getting so much stuff at great prices, I decided to put together donations for those less fortunate than me, which led to this…Hope Bags.
See, there are kids in foster care all across the United States and sometimes when they move from placement to placement they put their belongings in trash bags. Can you imagine what that would feel like? There are teenagers aging out of the foster care system or going into independent living situations who own very little. What if we handed them a bag of hygiene products to give them a fresh start?
I put together some products and my friend donated a beautiful bag and here’s what we made…
The person who received this bag was overjoyed! I can’t wait to do it again! I hope you’ll do it with me.
