Update and Guilt Trip... perfect for a monday morning.

Hello there everyone that is avoiding doing work on a Monday morning, Hope everyone had a lovely weekend - It was busy for Qatalyst.... Saturday was a little crazy - Cassie hit up the "a little bird told me... craft show and sale" I'm sure she'll post a little recap for you soon. And I went to Luci's Mudhouse Open House... it was PACKED! Basically, if you took a wrapped bar of soap, or toothbrush to the open house, you got to paint an Ornament for FREE!!! It was too much fun, but honestly, painting this tiny little star ornament the size of my palm took about 2 and a half hours, so i can only imagine painting a bowl or a mug or something. There was snacks too.... mmmm... chocolate fountain. They collected quite a bit of stuff by the time we left, and it was all being donated to MCC - a charity that helps provide for refugees. I get my ornament back on Friday i think - so i'll post something funny when it comes back, hopefully it doesn't look like a 3 year old made it. Then, I headed to a christmas party at David Marskell's - he's the chairman of the Waterloo Regional Children's Museum. It was a really cute little get together at his place... funney enough, there was a a bunch of people watching "Planet Earth" in the family room - the episode on Jungles. I think everyone at the Museum is a little obsessed with Chimps lately - check out my post later on today about their big announcement ;) Anyways, The Marskell's were collecting Hygiene Products, Toys, Hair Thingys, and anything like that - instead of christmas gifts - because they're taking a family trip to Honduras this season - and they hand them out to all the little kiddies they meet along the way. There's so many people out there trying to make a difference... what are you doing to help someone this holiday season? If you're looking for a way to up your good karma over Christmas week - email me at hilary@qatalystmedia.com. We're putting together some teams to help at the Out of the Cold Shelters. Have a great day - check back for more posts this aft. H.
