Are you a giver?

What has kept me busy and away from mylot for over a month? Crafting. A month ago I got my Sidekick die cutting machine and since then I've been busy creating cards and tags. Now what will I do with those cards and tags anyway? The shop that I bought the machine advertised that they are going to donate creations to Bahay Aruga, a paediatric cancer centre and have a bazaar to generate funds. So I have been creating and trying to be creative for weeks and weeks so I could mail what I've made and hope that it would be able to generate funds to be donated to charity. I have been enjoying what I've been doing and I'm happy to know if it could also help the charity. I didn't celebrate the Halloween, didn't go to any halloween party, but I've made holiday cards ready for this Christmas season and I will share them to those in need. I know you all have been busy earning money here in mylot and a lot has happened that I've missed. It's nice to be here once again.

I am so glad to see you back, I wondered what happened to you. I have seen the Sidekick die cutting machine on Amazon and I am very tempted to buy one.

@toniganzon I was thinking to buy one battery powered, so I can move it where I like.

@toniganzon I think seeing what others create is almost as fun as creating them myself keep the photos of these things coming either here or Instagram

@shaggin Yeah I created a different Instagram for my creations and I mostly post on tuetego these days. Tuetego is very much like instagram so I am enjoying it there a lot and I get to interact with people who like the same things as I do and I love the challenges there, helps me increase my earnings so it's more fun.

I hope they will. I'm donating it to them but they will be selling it at a bazaar. Crafting indeed is fun and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Having an offline activity and helping out others is way better than spending too much time online. Keep it up.

That is so true. Though I know I've been missed here in mylot by my friends, I still chose to spend my time crafting because I know I'll always come back in mylot anyway.

It is wonderful that you have been being creative for a very good cause @toniganzon. I have been busy trying to sort out certain things in my life and haven't been here much either.

Hmmm, let me think first before I answer your question. Yes, yes, I am a giver! Once in a while I go to my favourite casino to give money. I go to church on Sunday, I donate money. After our wedding I kept giving all what I got in me to my wife...and as a result we got 4 healthy children ...all born a year apart! No doubt I am a generous giver! Hehehe

@toniganzon well, I don’t know. You got all the money. And I donated all what I got in me, so nothing left to donate. Just keep wondering. Hehehe

Welcome back. I tend to give the sound hole coasters that I make away. But some "woodworking" I do isn't free.

I am aware of that as you make a discussion about your woodwork. So I know they're not for free.

You've been missed here. Glad to hear you were busy doing what you've been doing for a worthwhile cause. We write checks to our favorite charities and I donate 1/2 my myLot earnings to one in particular.

That card in the picture is I am sure one of your creations. So very nice. You are so creative.! I am happy that you weren't here for a good cause. But i am more happy that at least you peeked in here. Good luck in making those for the foundation. By the way, you got a new pretty profile.

@toniganzon Yes I donate money that I got from people to children in Sderot. Sderot is a community, town or city in the South that has suffered a lot from missles shot at them by Hamas in Gaza and every little bit I donate helps.
