Started Your Holiday Shopping Yet??

Have any of you started your Holiday shopping yet? I am just starting, but found out an awesome way to support Mayan Families while I shop. It is through a site called iGive and you need do nothing more than sign in and then shop at any of the online stores you already know... here is a link to all the merchants that you probably already shop with. Mayan Families will receive a percentage of your total purchase and you don't have to do a thing! You even get a tax deductible donation write off since Mayan Families is now a 501 (c) (3) charity, if you so choose.

I cannot believe my mission trip is less than two weeks away!! I began packing all the collected donations last night and am thrilled that I have already filled two large suitcases! I plan to take an additional suitcase as well but it will cost an additional $100 to fly on Delta to get there... I hate that... all these donations and the airlines gets to charge for the extra suitcase... think how far $100 would go in Guatemala buying more supplies? Oh well, I am so excited about the things I am taking. Many, many thanks to my blogger friend, Lori who sent items to take with me along with my local friends, Judy, Holly and Anita who also gave me items to take with me. Whatever I cannot take with me on this trip, I guarantee you that they will get down to Guatemala on another trip soon.

Speaking of my trip, I have created a blog for friends to follow along. There are six of us going down together and we will all be blogging along the way and posting pictures of our experience. Follow along here and I will add a link in the sidebar.

Happy Shopping!!
