So sorry that you have so much going on. Maybe you should get in contact with Toys for tots if you have that option in your state. Also you have the best tool to shop at and not leave your home....the internet. Lots of good deals out there right now. I wish you the best that things will work out and may God bless you.

[quote=mrspete]A lady at church had sometimes such as you have, and she made little swatches from the intended project and took Christmas Cards and put slits inside page on left and stuck those swatches through the slits. At the signature space she added IOU, God Willing. Now that spoke volumes to me.
This is the best idea yet! Think I'll copy it and use it when I need it! Wonderful.

Explain that you're overwhelmed right now. Trust me, it'll be freeing for you!
I pray things will get better for you!!!! That's a lot to try to handle right now!

Pretend cell phone, little makeup mirror, lip gloss.
