Hello everyone! This is my third year participating in the Holiday Wishes community! I'm so excited to participate this year, and even thought we don't have a lot of cash this time around I am going to try to grant some wishes!

Now on to the list:

1. Something, anything nice, a surprise. My husband and I have had an incredibly difficult year, and we were just in a car accident on Thanksgiving Day which destroyed our car. Both my husband and I could use a pick me up right about now.

2. Holiday cards! I love to send and receive.

3. Christmas ornaments for our tree. I have a bit of an ornament obsession. :)

4. This one is unlikely, but a car. Since ours got totaled last week, we have no transportation of our own. We know we will get a settlement for the car, but it won't be much - so we need something we can afford, that is similar to our old car - which was perfect for us. Ideally we need two cars, but beggars can't be choosers!

5. More friends! I am seeking out more friends, real life friends mostly, but e-friends are good too! So if any couples in the greater Cincinnati area is on the lookout for other couples to be friends with, I would love to get to know you!

6. A donation to Toys for Tots or Child's Play.

7. For people to start using re-useable grocery bags instead of plastic, or at least re-using the plastic bags they get from the store for other purposes instead of just throwing them out. We use them as trash bags, kitty litter bags and doggy poo bags.

8. A better job for my husband. He likes what he does but he doesn't love it, and it doesn't quite pay the bills, which is putting a huge strain on us. He's got experience in hospitality, customer service, management... all kinds of stuff.

9. Vintage cook books. Again, I have a bit of an obsession with them! :)

10. Do something nice for someone you don't know. Send love out into the world and it will come back to you.

I donated to Toys For Tots a few weeks ago, I use cloth grocery bags, and I can do #10 :)

Oh no I hope you guys are ok! And hopefully you'll get some kind of car. I know that pain of having a car totalled! *hugs*

Also we reuse our grocery bags. We have a net in our laundry room and then we use them for our small garbage cans and for the dogs and cats...

Also send me your addy and what I promised you to saku-rose@hotmail.com and I'll send you a card!

We are ok, a little banged up, though! We will find out for sure that the car is totaled on Wednesday, and I'm not looking forward to it.

I donated to toys for tots and I can send you a shell ornament.

It's basically a shell with a hole in it and we hang it almost every year on our tree as a ornament. But I am willing to part with it. My nephew made another one and we retired our other one :P

However, it will come in late december I know it sucks but I have to send out my packages in waves :P

I also never use plastic bags anymore always cloth bags.

[angelsdemise.livejournal.com]

Cool! I don't mind things coming late, I know how it is to have to do things bits at a time.

Can you give me your email, so I can send you my address? :)

[mypetconcubine.livejournal.com]

mypetconcubine@yahoo.com

such a dope so happy I could grant one of your wishes I forgot to give you my e-mail :P

[angelsdemise.livejournal.com]

It's ok! Those things happen! I'll email right now. :)

I am a super bag-reuser!! I've gotten to where I rarely come home with a plastic shopping bag -- maybe one every 2-3 months?? I have big canvas bags for groceries, and smaller bags for errands and two fold up into themselves that I keep in my glove box all the time so I always have them if I need to stop somewhere unplanned. We no longer have a huge supply of plastic bags, and I'm actually wondering what we'll do for small garbage can liners when we run out of bags all together!

[angelsdemise.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to get that way! I've got about 4 fabric bags I use on a regular basis, though sometimes I forget them! I need to get a stash to keep in the car and a stash to keep with me so that when I'm not in my own car I can take them.

Thanks:)

Sending right now! :)

I'm all over #7. I carry a Chico Bag (http://www.chicobag.com/) in my purse and take several with me when I go shopping. I get lots of compliments on it, too.

[angelsdemise.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I've seen those! I couldn't remember the name! I think they're so cool, and fold up so small that I can easily keep it in my big purse!

Right now I use a home made one I got for xmas last year, and an assortment of ones I've either gotten as promo things or that I bought at the store.

I'm really interested in making some of my own, I have some old curtains that would make amazing grocery bags :)

[foxxfire5.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'd love to exchange cards--I'm actually near your area. Drop me an email at rubedrummer@aol.com and we'll swap. :D

I also donated to Toys for Tots.

And, though this doesn't count because I've always done it, I always reuse the plastic bags for kitty litter. :)

[angelsdemise.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'm emailing you now :)

I hope we'll be able to this year, money is super tight, but I want to try to get some small toys to give :)
