This weeks art entitled "Collage of Colors" gives us a great opportunity to express our desires with Giveohgive.org #1 We want to make a difference in an honest, and positive way. #2 We want to give a generation of children an opportunity to facilitate good. #3 We want to encourage child creativity through artwork. We are all a collage of colors. Meaning, we all have different experiences and perspectives. Enjoying and celebrating our differences in an effort that brings them together creates...

As I mentioned in the last post, I finally have a sane work schedule. It gives me Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off. Which has been WONDERFUL! I really do enjoy most aspects of my job and will be starting my (shortened) work week today at noon. Yesterday we were able to get together with our first three young artists and have them put their checks in their envelopes with a little note to each of their charities. It was really fun, and I must say I am impressed because they were really serious... Read Full Story

I am extremely pleased with Giveohgive.org's new look! Do you like it? I asked Pete to change things around so that the art can be bigger and he sure came thru for me. I love our logo and the new background sure looks festive for the holidays! Before introducing this weeks charitable cause I want to give you a little personal update. I have been working too much!! The job I have was supposed to be part time, but quickly turned into full time. So I had to put my foot down and cut back my hours... Read Full Story

Elizabeth stepped right up to the plate again with a new piece of artwork entitled "Harry Potter and His Friends". She is quite a voracious reader and has read most of the Goosebumps, Mary Kate and Ashley, Warriors series of books. Unbeknownst to us she grabbed her brothers copy of the first Harry Potter book and read the 1st chapter so that's what's been on her mind lately. She chose to donate this weeks ad click revenue to the Idaho Food Bank. As all of you know food banks across the... Read Full Story

We've decided to try this turkey recipe. It looks really good. And here's the recipe Pete tried to get me to make for him. But considering his families history with heart disease... I said no. One stick of butter with bacon on the turkey was enough. We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and gets plenty of rest so they can shop their socks off tomorrow! Love to all, Christelle & family Read Full Story

The funnest thing about Giveohgive.org is that we get to include friends and family members and their children. This week's masterpiece is by my 6 year old niece Emma Christy.
