The Big Give - The kindness of strangers

Well, it's one more sleep until the big man in red arrives in homes across the world. For us, it's also one more sleep until we have the privilege of enjoying our Christmas meal with 300 guests and 105 volunteers at The Big Give (you can read about it here, here, here and here).

It's been an amazing last week at Big Give headquarters, with some lows as suppliers haven't been able to come through, but many more highs when others have stepped in and outshone our expectations with their generosity and kindness.

We will have a huge list of thank you's to share with you after Christmas, but for now, I just wanted to share with you what was delivered to my house this morning.....

These were generously made by Kayla at Sweet Statements for the children attending The Big Give. We have worked with Kayla before, she made the fabulous Masquerade cake back in October for us. We have both also worked with Kayla in our other lives in the Corporate world. She is a super clever and delightful lady and we can't wait until she officially launches Sweet Statements in 2011.

Anyway, from our families to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May your day be filled with friends, family, laughter and love - we know our's will be! We will be taking a short break after Christmas - but will be back in 2011 with lots of exciting things to share and inspire you all.

Cheers,
