I cooked a meal and baked a dessert for first time parents in our church. and I included a bottle of wine
lovely giveaway – thanks!
My friend and I talk on email all day while we are at work and on Monday we were talking about chocolate. I was raving about the Caramel Chunky Kit Kat I was eating, and she was moaning that she could never find them. So I popped into the newsagents by work on my way home and bought one for her that I gave her when she came round that evening.
I am a middle school math teacher and finding it difficult to recoup my patience with the youngsters. A particular student gets teased often for a variety of reasons and is outcast for being different. I had an opportunity for a few select students to participate in school board showcase and chose him as well as three other students that are underappreciated by their peers. These four are now working together and I am seeing friendships and acceptance bloom! Yeah! It has revived my patience and reminds me that every day is a new day!

Hmm, I’m always baking and sharing with coworkers. This past week I’ve been running errands for my sweetie who has a banquet this weekend, picking up the last minutes items to lighten his list.
I gave up ten hours of my time this past weekend to help run a retreat for about 100 middle and high school teenagers. Nothing is more rewarding then helping the youth of our country grow!
This past weekend I had a co-worker that lost a family member. So I organized to have everyone at work donate and we bought some flowers for her for the funeral service. She said they were really lovely and she was glad we were thinking of her and her family.
I was asked to make a centerpiece for a friends 50th SURPRISE birthday party. This friend is a well known florist and the guy that was suppose to make this centerpiece back out. My friends daughter was in a tizzie and she asked if I would step in and make a centerpiece for her Mom……..so I did! I sure hope she likes it and it was my pleasure to help out this daughters frantic situation. You can never do to much for a friend in need………….
mine isn’t too impressive…i offered to watch our friends’ daughter for a few hours a week so that she doesnt have to put her into day care.
Love the twine! My sweet husband is a clean freak and sometimes I’m not. This week I’ve made it a point to make sure I complete the little things that I know are so important to him.
I volunteered to help fix the plumbing in an elderly woman’s home. Now she doesn’t have to spring for a plummer on her fixed income.
No drips either!
I took my neighbor, who doesn’t have a car, to GED classes.
I recently made banana bread for my husband because he was having a bad day.
What a good question, really made me think. A couple of days ago I was invited for tea by a person I do not see very often. I decided to sew her an apron with her favorite colours and I think she enjoyed it very much. Greetings from Germany and I hope I win some twine! Love it.
Tonight, I just so happened to drive by a sign for an available apartment and noticed it matched all the requirements a friend – of – a – friend needed. She is in a horrible relationship and not being able to find a reasonably priced place has been a setback for her release from bondage. I passed on the info to my friend and she passed it on to her friend. It is looking good so far. I see freedom in her future!
The plane that crashed into a house in East Palo Alto belonged to my coworker. They lost everything in the fire but everyone made it out okay. My team gathered gift cards and donations for her family.
Love the twine colors, they make me happy:) Sent a stranger a package of scrapbooking goodies and helped a women with her shopping in a local store. It’s a happy day to help another:)
I have Fridays off every week and there is a young girl who lives down the street, Zirikki, who usually walks to school. I now take her in the mornings since we leave at the same time. I now get up early on my Friday morning ‘sleep in’ days and take her to school…
One of my soldier sons loves the pretzels dipped in the block of vanilla. So I got the ingredients together, made the pretzels and boxed them up to go to where he is stationed in the US. He loved them but knew he could not eat them all so he took them to the office to share with the guys. Look at that Two blessings from one thought! God is good!
Hi
I have posted about your giveaway on my blog! http://heknowstheplanshehasforus.blogspot.com/2010/03/here-we-goanother-give-away-divine.html
So many ideas of what to do with the twine! I can’t wait to get started creating things. Thanks for the giveaway!

I went to visit my BFF of 32 years (4 hours away) instead of her always coming here, and ended up working on some crafty projects for her and for gift-giving instead of doing stuff I had brought along. Made me feel good, since I’m kind of fast at it, and she’s kind of slow. She felt good about it, which made me feel even better about it.
I’ve been helping a friend who’s been hospitalized with a blood clot. Have been watching her kids, offering to grocery shop for her, and visiting with her to cheer her up. Not much, but hopefully every little bit helps!
i facilitate an autism support group in our school district. on tuesday we had 8 people at our meeting, and it was great to be there helping people who have kids on the autism spectrum connect and learn that they are not alone in the journey. we speak each other’s language.
peace.

Oooh I adore that twine! I’ve been looking for something like this – I’m so excited about this giveaway!
Yesterday I went shopping to buy some treats for my friend who is living overseas with her young family – I’d love to see her face when she opens the package at the other end! Just need to get it in the mail now.
I LOVE papercrafting so I made a 20 page 8X8 scrapbook album for my sister-in-law’s new daughter! I had ton’s of fun! She loved it!
I finally mustered the courage to break up with my emotionally withholding boyfriend of two years. We hugged and cried, and said things that we’d never let ourselves say before.
It might have been the nicest thing I’ve done for myself, for both of us, all year.

I made a special trip to get a pint of Alex’s Lemonade water ice to surprise my friend’s 4 yr who just had her tonsils out. Nothing like helping two for the price of one

Just posted my “TWEET FOR TWINE”
http://twitter.com/ModernClassics
I made a cute little card for my new baby niece Gemma. It was a rounded-corner card in baby pink, with a big tooth cut-out in white with smile glittered in violet glitter. The occasion? Gemma’s first tooth! She loved it!
I have a lot of crafty paper goodness so this year I decided I would weekly send out surprises to share said goodness to people whose addresses I have collected. This week another two packages made their way out the door filled with patterned papers, pretty ribbons and trims and ephemera.
I’m from Chile but i’ve being living in New Zealand for the last 2 years. My family and friends send me some info about a family who lost everything on the february 27th earthquake that shook my country.
I made some felt hairbands and brooches to raise money and find a way to help Chile even being so far away.
Is the only way I have to contribute to my people and also helps me not feeling so homesick. <3
My husband gets his clothes ready for work. Usually he’s ironing his uniform as he’s walking out the door. I knew he woudl be working long hours this weekend, so yesterday I surprise him when he got home with 3 sets of uniforms wash and iron. He was very happy to have extra 15 or 20 minutes to stay in bed this morning.
My husband and I have been pretty busy and stressed lately so I went and bought a few things that I know he loves most (small things that didn’t cost too much) – cashews, red hots, nerds, and a few other goodies – just to cheer him up and to break the normal routine
I made curtains for a friend who could not afford custom floor to ceiling curtains for her living room. I saved her and her husband $$$ and gave them the privacy we all deserve.
One of my co-workers and I share the same birthday week. She has been admiring a pair of earrings that I made for quite some time, so for her birthday I made her a pair for her very own! I packaged them in a sweet little confection bag, and even used some baker’s twine to tie it all up!
I offered to drive some friends to dinner so that they could have a few drinks and not have to worry about driving home.
i’m trying to be the best mum to our newborn son and give him the best upbringing and nicest childhood possible. i’ve done that the last five days (and 50 days before that) and will be doing that for the rest of my life
I made treats and cards for the girls I worked with to remind them to have a safe and fun Spring Break.
I spent time with my niece and nephew so their parents (my bro and sis-in law) could spend a few hours with their new baby (7 days old – today). It’s so much fun to have a new little one running around but big brother and big sister needed some of their own one on one time. We all benefitted from the time spent together.
I posted about this on my blog as well… Love your etsy shop- very cute stuff.
I’ve been drooling over your twine for some time already – would love to win some!
I love to bake but always make way to much for my family – so I delivered some of it to friends and neighbors.
I made mac-n-cheese from scratch for my son-in-law, cause he loves cheese and he wasn’t feeling well.
This is some nice giveaway! Thanks!
One good thing I did for someone is that yesterday we had to sleep at my mother´s house (me, husband and two girls) and I let my husband sleep in the “confy” bed and I took the sofa so he could sleep better. (beacause he worked all day and was “wasted”)
Thanks!

Fingers crossed :O)
