200 CANS! 200 CANS of FOOD to the UPPER ROOM. That is incredible and awesome! Again. 200 CANS!!! WOW! Can u tell I am excited!!??!
200 CANS!
I know that their will be a lot of people very thankful for having a hot meal on a cold day and these 200 cans of yummy goodness will put smiles on someone's heart here on our own island.
While I know that I am very lucky and feel extremely grateful for all that I have and have access to give. I hope that everyone can take a moment to think about all they have in this world, and think of those who don't have the same access to everyday things that we might take for granted, such as food and shelter. Thank You everyone who helped me make this a success! Your all awesome, and I love you all XO
Next project: Let's make the Christmas spirit happen all year round. YAY!
Here's how you can help:
Pass this along information on to everyone you know
*Update your Twitter status to something like "Your Name" Wants all my fellow tweeters, to join @Rachel_Photo and help the food bank this year! Tis' the season! Simply comment on a photo at http://www.blogbyrachel.com/blog
*Update your Facebook status to Join "Rachel Peters Photography" in giving to Island Food Banks this year! Tis' the season! For every person that updates their status, I will donate more food; one status update = one can; many status updates = many cans! http://www.blogbyrachel.com/blog
*Challenge your co-workers - for the corporate group that gathers the most food, I will personally come to your office and take a photo of your group and pick up the non-perishable items. Make sure you let me know you are doing this so I can let everyone know how awesome you are!

SMM: Reeeschell, you can take pictures of me making snow angles!
Myself: Oh SMM, that is a great idea, sounds fun.
SMM: Well you can if you want to!
Myself: I never made a snow angel before.
SMM: We could make a snowman too! I will show you how to make a snow angel!
Some people seem a little more excited about snow than myself. Sparky Ming Ming also told me to wear snow pants, gloves, hat, scarf and make sure I had my winter boots on, not my summer ones. I guess she knows me well.
So how could I turn down an invitation to take pictures of her in the first snowfall of the year!? Look at that cute face with the puppy ears!!!

The last time I had a visit with my sweet blue eyed Chlo Chlo, she started to take all of her shoes out of the drawer to show me. Of course I had my camera with me and thought this should be documented for later when she grows up and needs to see when her shoe obsession started.
Little Chloe has got to be the sweetest little girl in the world. She is very special and very loved!

Remember that Christmas can be great for many of us...and not so great for others. It is a great time of year to realize what you have, and for many what you don't have. Let's make giving happen all year round!
So it is simple...comment ANYWHERE on my blog and it will be tracked from today forward. Helping someone this holiday season has never been easier. Grab a coffee and start commenting!
