On top of that, if you recall from the Spool Knitting post, I said that I was going to make scarves for the homeless in one of our emergency shelters. I am very happy to say that I followed through.
I made everyone a little Santa Sack that I asked be placed outside every one's door in the middle of the night so that they'd be surprised on Christmas morning.
Inside each sack was a scarf, a candy cane, and a little handmade gift box with either toiletries or tea.
It's not much, but my goal was just to make sure that everyone there knew that they weren't forgotten. And now I can start thinking of what I can do next year to top it!
If you had a chance to reach out to someone who didn't expect it,
make sure to tell us what you did in the comment box.

If you were too busy (it's ok, it happens) just remember
that you don't have to wait until a special day on the calendar.
People appreciate kindness any day of the year.
Happy New Year!
(or as they say in Japan...Happy End of Year!)
Don't forget to check out the linky parties all week for lots of great ideas to start the new year of crafting!

Wow, that is really awesome! I do some crochet/knit charity work, but that is a really cool project to let them know they are not forgotten! I so have to steal that idea :)
LOVE it! Thanks so much for linking it up! :)
That's so thoughtful and sweet of you! I'm sure they appreciated the gift!
How precious is this! Thank you so much for sharing a different spin on what you did for Christmas. :)
