I could definitely make bookmarks (or notebooks with covers?) for all the packs. How many? And when would you need them by?

Darlink... How much skin care do you have already??

I may be able to send a little up of my stuff,if not mine, I am happy to buy one of those $20.00 avon bags... make it easier, you order the Avon budget bag of your nearest rep, and I will just transfer the money nto your account, how does that sound, saves me frigging about... I'm male remember heheh

This is wonderful and such a terrific response too. 

We are doing 40 bags so 40 of each item would be fantastic.  Each person who has reponded, I will send a PM to giving details of where items are to come to and by when.

Richard, if you have some samples that you can organise that would be excellent.  I too am extremely busy at present and appreciate all the help that anyone can give me to make all of this come together.  As far as how much skincare is too much, when you are on a strict budget or doing it tough any little sample that you can get and use can only contribute to making you feel better about yourself. So Rich, BABY BRING IT ON !!!!!

OK, I'm going to start sending my PM's now.

I am in Brisbane and we don't have any chocolates or lollies yet !  Anybody out there that would like to donate those ?

Love 2 You all too !!!

Hi Mel,

I've just sent you a PM.  Although my products will not be suitable, I would love to help out by sending some bags of lollies/chocolates for your pamper bags.

What a great thing you are doing!

All the best,
Jo

BodyBaby replied:

Hey Mel

Do you need the actualy bags for what we are putting together.... we dont have to pay for our small carry bags - they are tall enough to hold an A$ Bshop Catty - strong enough to hold a couple of body butters and scrubs.. actually i use my spare ones to shove all sorts of stuff in...

Just let me know and i can order them.. as i said they are free!!

Have an awesome day.. go the horsies today!!

Hey Mel,

Can you please pm me your details again - I've got some skin care samples I can send you for the bags...

Thanks heaps,
Ren

(Great work you're doing there too by the way!)

FoodDude replied:

Just bumping this one up again.

To those people who have sent me your donations, thank you so much;  you know who you are ( I have thanked you privately !)

To those who haven't got around to it yet, Friday is 28th November so it would be great if you could get them to me by then.  If you have sent them and I have not sent you a message, I have not received them.

Cheers

Hi Mel,

Hi all

Just thought I'd update you on our Love to U pamper project which was held at Bridgeman Downs in Queensland on Saturday 6th December.  Firstly, there are no photos and I know that I did promise some photos......................but I was so busy massaging feet, giving pedicures and talking to ladies that I had absolutely not a chance !!!  This is a good thing !!  I met so many women and heard so many stories some heartwrenching ones that made me cry and then other ones about overcoming adversity that just lifted me up and made me want to soar with them.

We had 35 ladies turn up.  All of them single mums... some single  by separation, by divorce, by choice and some widowed.  All doing a tough job, bringing up kids on their own.  It was time to show them some LOVE. The whole session was provided free of charge.

 The kids were taken away for a couple of hours where they were entertained and then the mums could fit as much pampering as possible into 2 hours.  There were massage, foot massage, manicures, pedicures, facials and make up, and throughout the whole thing there were ladies walking around with trays of lovely Christmas treats to eat and glasses of punch or taking orders for cappuccino.  I bought a friend of mine along who left looking like an absolute glamour after having her makeup done and looking so much more relaxed than when she arrived.

The ladies all received a goody bag when they left and it was filled to the brim with things donated by my fellow party planners.  I am so proud of you all and so thankful that you could give in this way.

Blessings to each and everyone of you for the Christmas Season and to everyone out there in this little PP community of ours.

Love to all of U

Melx

Mel that sounds wonderful!  What a priviledge it would've been to be involved. 

Merry Xmas to you and yours.
