Giving - Easy as A-B-C

Bringing smiles to children has never been this easy. The best part is its not just smiles, its education.
Elmers has started a #bagitforward campaign where every blog post acts as a bag of school supplies. For every post, they donate money to Adopt-A-Classroom to 'help make a difference in classrooms across the country'.
All you have to do is hit a few keys on your keyboard, copy-and-pasting, pressing 'Publish Post', and Voila! You just made a few more children smile.

{Oh, and you also have to give a bad of school supplies to someone. I give mine to BexyBoat -- enjoy your crayons and glue sticks! }

ELMER’S VIRTUAL BAG IT FORWARD RULES

• Copy and paste these rules into your blog post.
• Create a blog post giving a “virtual bag of school supplies” to other bloggers or write about your Back to School shopping trip at Walmart.
• Link back to the person who gave you a bag of school supplies.
• Let each person you are giving a virtual bag of school supplies know you have given them a bag.

• Please note that only one blog post per blog url will count towards the donation.

Spread The Joy

I always rolled my eyes at parents who were very concerned about who their children befriended, but I guess they were onto something. It seems like the attitude of the people that surround you has a great effect on your own.

You are what you...spend time with?

But that doesn't mean you should cut your sad friends off. "The better solution," as David Rand from the article put it, " is to make your sad friends happy.”

Perfect

I was walking along Venice Beach and I saw this girl promoting smiles. She had a sign that asked what makes you smile, and she was selling colorful stretchy bands.

She's working on a documentary about what makes people smile. Please check her out, this is SO AWESOME.
