Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner (A Very Heartfelt Thank You)...

Last week I was thrilled to find out that I had won one of Savvy Season's five $100 giveaways.  I know!  I get all giddy just thinking about it.  What a thrill, for real, I'm telling you!  

Of course, when a hundred whopping dollars falls right into your lap, then you have to figure out what to do with it.... ❈  

Here's the thing...  A lot of things ran through my head...... But there's been something I've been really wanting to do for a while now...  something that just kept poking me and nudging me.... seriously, like every day this thought would pop into my mind....  It turns out that idea was waiting for a reason.

And when that sweet card and gorgeous green Benjamin turned up in my mailbox...  I just got the biggest smile on my face and knew it was time. ❈

I took that $100 and matched it dollar for dollar with $100 of my own...

And what I ended up buying was - 

50 pounds of rice

30 pounds of oatmeal

25 pounds of beans

24 cans of peaches

24 cans of mandarins

20 cans of soup

15 boxes of Mac & Cheese

12 cans of green beans

10 bottles of glass/multi-purpose cleaner

10 cans of Ajax cleanser

10 bottles of Pine-Sol

10 jugs of laundry detergent

That's 332 pounds of food and cleaning supplies that I was able to donate to the food bank in our sweet little town.  

I clearly remember drinking powdered milk and eating government processed cheese "food" as a little girl.  And Ramen.... lots and lots of Ramen....  Times were tough.  Not all of the time, but there were times...  It meant so much to me to give a little back today. ❈

Thank you Liz and Savvy Seasons, from the very bottom of my heart for helping me make this little (dream) project of mine come true. ❈  (PS - She's giving away $100 bills every Friday through the end of the month.  You'd be smart to enter to win it!)
