Gifted Snowflakes and other Ornaments

They've all been delivered!!!!!

So much fun to create these for friends.

Hopefully, it'll be something they will

display every year.

Three years of birds

Yes, three years.

That's how many years The Runner

gifted the children

he transported to and from school.

Every year since 2014

I created birds for him to hand out.

This year he decided he wanted snowflakes.

Snowflakes he got.

And snowflakes they got.

And one for his monitor, too.

Most of his students are new this year
but he still transports
some of the same ones that got birds every year.
I hope they're not disappointed!

Oh - and one of the little girl's mom
still has her bird hanging from the rear view mirror.
From two years ago!
So I really hope that family isn't disappointed.

It was a Random Act of Kindness Day

The sweetest woman helped me order something yesterday.

Yep - she got a bird.

This one was given to a sweet

and oh-so-appreciative elderly lady.

Kinda makes me wonder if

this will be the only gift she'll receive this Christmas.

Saw an elderly man in the parking lot.

He didn't have a smile and looked to be struggling.

Both physically and mentally.

I offered the Christmas ornament.

He took it.

And smiled!

Mission accomplished.

This one went home

with a sweet young lady.

I watched a daddy walking into the store with his daughter.

She appeared to be about three years old.

I approached them and asked the little girl

if she would like a Christmas bird.

Her reply?

"No.  I'm hurrying up to go to the bathroom

before I wet my pants."

I gave the ornament to the dad and told him to hurry!

A little boy was fussing in the check-out line.

Mamma tried to console him - to no avail.

I offered this one to him and guess what?

He stopped fussing.

Mamma was happy!

These last two bird ornaments

were given to two sisters

all crammed into one cart with all the groceries.

Unfortunately, they weren't very receptive

because they were all involved

in their electronic devices.

But that's okay, too.

I will never know.

Are these RAK deeds truly appreciated?

Will the ornaments be hung on trees

or displayed in homes?

Or will they be put into the trash cans?

It truly doesn't matter to me.

It puts a smile in my heart

every time I give one away.

Maybe next year I'll create even more.

It makes me feel THAT GOOD.

Merry Christmas.
