I LOVE TO SHOP!!!

I love to shop, yep that is right, I am a shopaholic! I blame it on my mom (but I still love you!!) and Seth HATES it! He gets a little worried when I have a day off and I am bored or when I say I am going to meet my mom in Lawrence! I think it makes him go a little crazy! I think it is a lot better than other addictions I could have!

This time I am shopping for this little girl's playground...

This is Cora, you may remember a post I did about her a couple of weeks ago. Cora was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. Last Sunday her battle with cancer ended and she is now with Jesus. I never had the chance to meet Cora and I don't know her parents. I read about Cora through a friend's blog and from there I followed their story and prayed for this little girl and her mommy and daddy. I want to do something to help. Her story has touched my life and her parent's faith through this tough journey is incredible. There are many others out there that never had the chance to meet Cora, don't know her parents, and probably have no clue where Newton, KS is (that is where they live) but they were also touched by their story. Cora's parents decided to start a fund to build Cora's Playground at their church. What happened next is amazing...

If you would like to read about this truly amazing family here is their blog http://themcclenahans.blogspot.com/

A blogger (that is very talented!) decided to sell these pins and headbands with all the proceeds going to Cora's Playground. From that many other very talented women decided to do the same. How amazing is that! I wish I was this talented and could make something to sell, but I will stick with the buying part as my way of helping!

This is the blog that started it all http://www.joyshope.com/

Here are the headbands that she sold, and they went fast! There is so much more that you can buy and all the proceeds go to Cora's Playground! Just click on the pink button at the top of my blog to see all the items for sale! If you have a little girl you are in luck, there are so many adorable things for little girls! She has more pins like this with different fabric. I am thinking one on my favorite jacket would be just perfect! I don't know if I will be getting something like this now, I am not sure where I would put it but when I redo Dylan's room I may have to get one! Or as a baby gift for Jaxson, do you like it Tabatha?? Of course it would be personalized!!


I LOVE this idea! They have one with a purple fabric that would look wonderful with my new purple camera! It would be perfect at the zoo, park...
I think this t-shirt is so cute, I don't think Seth would like it on Dylan though! I will have to think of a special little girl to buy this for!
Love this wallet too, I just wish it came with the money and Target gift card! They come in many patterns too!
Again, if you have a little girl how could you pass these up!

Seth is so lucky we don't have a girl! I would be buying one of these bows in every color then I would be going to Michales and buying tons of ribbon to try and make some of my own!! I wonder what Dylan would look like in one of these, maybe he could start a new trend???!!!

I don't drink coffee, but I would if I could use one of these! Again, I see a new trend, using the coozie on soda's from McDonald's-my hands get cold when holding them, I think it would be very helpful!! OK, not really, but my mom gets coffees every once in a while, so I will be buying her one of these!!How fun, I get to shop and help a cause at the same time! Hopefully some day Dylan and I can visit Newton and see Cora's Playground (I will be calling you Amanda!!).
