I mentioned in my last post about OCC that my sister and I were going to a Countdown event and I am so glad we did! We got lots of ideas and supplies plus I was able to get a little inspiration to make our event a success!
I am so excited, first, that my sister & Blake are working alongside me in this. It means so much that their hearts are with me on this and that they feel passionate about these sweet kiddos! Before the event Amy went to Michaels and got 162 activity pads and I think like 12 sticky hands for $14!! The deals are out there if you look for them!
Those of you who know me well know I am not crafty at all (sorry, mom, but really its OK I know I'm not!); therefore my donation box was well a cardboard box that I got Erica to write donation on because my handwriting is too messy!
I asked a friend, Daye, to come up with some ideas so that our cause would get more attention. We moved our donation table from the foyer, where it was often by-passed by it was croweded, to the sanctuary. She had lots of great ideas and I think it looks FANTASTIC! My heart was so happy when the video about OCC played during church and many people visited our table for more information after the service! Many thanks to Erica also for making the cute poster board in the background too!
See what happens when the body of Christ uses their talents in conjunction with others - a cardboard box can become this!
