This weeks art entitled "Collage of Colors" gives us a great opportunity to express our desires with Giveohgive.org
#1 We want to make a difference in an honest, and positive way.
#2 We want to give a generation of children an opportunity to facilitate good.
#3 We want to encourage child creativity through artwork.
We are all a collage of colors. Meaning, we all have different experiences and perspectives.
Enjoying and celebrating our differences in an effort that brings them together creates beauty.
So this week we are asking, sincerely, for your perspective and input.
What do you see when you look at this weeks artwork?
What do you see when you contemplate giveohgive.org's potential.
Do you have any suggestions on how we can better reach our goals?
We would love to hear from you.
You could start by suggesting a charity using the form in the upper right hand corner of this blog. The top choice will receive 100% of the ad-click revenue from Giveohgive.org and this blog.

The check is in the mail!
As I mentioned in the last post, I finally have a sane work schedule. It gives me Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off. Which has been WONDERFUL! I really do enjoy most aspects of my job and will be starting my (shortened) work week today at noon.
Yesterday we were able to get together with our first three young artists and have them put their checks in their envelopes with a little note to each of their charities. It was really fun, and I must say I am impressed because they were really serious about Giveohgive.org. This was a great positive experience for all of us.
I have had such great support from friends and family. This project is about taking a generation of kids and widening their perspective on giving and worthy causes. We are all so involved with our immediate needs that sometimes (and I'm very guilty of this myself) it's very hard to reach out. So far, Giveohgive.org has helped me get back in touch with old friends, stay in better touch with family, and also make new friends. So I'm going to count myself as being pretty lucky. Giveohgive.org has really blessed my life and I hope it blesses those who visit, use, and participate along with us as well.

Week 6 | O Christmas Tree!
I am extremely pleased with Giveohgive.org's new look! Do you like it? I asked Pete to change things around so that the art can be bigger and he sure came thru for me. I love our logo and the new background sure looks festive for the holidays!
Before introducing this weeks charitable cause I want to give you a little personal update. I have been working too much!! The job I have was supposed to be part time, but quickly turned into full time. So I had to put my foot down and cut back my hours. I have so much to catch up on!! Most importantly is catching up with my family. Secondly, is catching up on Giveohgive.org. I now have a little more time to coordinate with friends and family that want to participate. So my goal right now is to get 52 young artists and their charities lined up for next year! So expect a call and email from me!!
On to this week! Elizabeth, our daughter has drawn us another beautiful picture entitled "O Christmas Tree". We hope you enjoy it and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support. This weeks ad-click revenue will be donated to Project Clean Water. Also known as www.giveadrop.com.

Week 5 | Harry Potter and his Friends
Elizabeth stepped right up to the plate again with a new piece of artwork entitled "Harry Potter and His Friends". She is quite a voracious reader and has read most of the Goosebumps, Mary Kate and Ashley, Warriors series of books. Unbeknownst to us she grabbed her brothers copy of the first Harry Potter book and read the 1st chapter so that's what's been on her mind lately.
She chose to donate this weeks ad click revenue to the Idaho Food Bank.
As all of you know food banks across the country are really struggling to meet demand this year. Using Giveohgive.org for all of your internet search needs is a great way to help feed the hungry. According to the Idaho Food Bank each $1 donated allows for 3 nutritious meals for children. Again, thank you all for your continued support.
Giveohgive.org | The next time you search, give.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We've decided to try this turkey recipe.
It looks really good.
And here's the recipe Pete tried to get me to make for him.
But considering his families history with heart disease...
I said no.
One stick of butter with bacon on the turkey was enough.
We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and gets plenty of rest so they can shop their socks off tomorrow!
Love to all,
Christelle & family

It's entitled "Candle on a Birthday Cake" and all of this weeks proceeds will go to the LDS Philanthropies Humanitarian Aid General Fund.
Also notice Pete is working on introducing holiday colors. He's super busy so many thanks for his help! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
