    Default What did you give away in November?

    I've just bundled up some cardigans and scarves which I'll drop off to my local thrift store when I go out.

    I've also given some vanilla orchids to a member on a permaculture forum I belong to.

    Anyone else giving to others?

    Today I am freecycleing some plants I can't keep the kids from messing with. They need a lot of TLC, and someone has already asked for them, so I think it's a win-win for the plants!

    I gave away one top, and tomorrow I'll give away another top and a sweater. Oh, and I gave away 4 Halloween candles, brand new. Just needed to get them out of the house. I'm sure I have more I can give away.

    I gave a bag of food to our neighbours (they really don't have much money). I also gave them one of my homemade chocolate cakes.

    I gave my girlfriend some glue sticks for her glue gun and half a chili corndog casserole.

    I sent a box filled with goodies to a new friend. It feels so good to be able to give to others.
