Successful Operation!

Ladies, I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart to see all those Operation Christmas Child boxes lined up after our meeting today!  I'm sure Kendra will have an official count, but I counted 23 boxes after our meeting.

That's 23 little souls who will know someone loves them this Christmas.  (I am getting all verklempt just thinking about it!)



And, not to brag or anything, but SEVEN of those boxes came from the amazing ladies at the orange table! We just had too much love to contain in two boxes.  ;)  


ALSO!  You can click here to download the amazing resources from Jennifer, our amazing Frugal Family Fun speaker today! Leave me a comment if you have any troubles downloading.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!  And we'll see you in December.

Frugal Family Fun at our Nov. 12 Meeting!

I don't know about you, but I am ALWAYS looking for fun, inexpensive things to do with my family—especially with the holidays coming up and expecting extended family in town!

At our next meeting, our speaker will be giving us tons of ideas for frugal family fun in and around Arvada—and I hear she brings handouts with the full list! :)

What to Expect:

In addition to our speaker, we'll be putting together our Operation Christmas Child boxes—look for an email from your DGL this week about what to bring!  We'll also be talking about our super fun Christmas party meeting, with a gingerbread house competition and a book exchange! You don't want to miss it.

Don't Forget:


  • Session dues are due this week, so bring your checkbook.
  • Bring your contributions for your table's Operation Christmas Child box.
  • Our food tables this week are pink, yellow, and purple.
