Christmas Bags #6 to #10 - Christmas Bags and assorted goodies from various donors

I think this is the highlight of the day. Christmas bags and softies #6 to #10 from various donors. I would tend to think that the christmas goodies below would be the last goodies for Christmas or with a christmas motive. And that next week I will be back focusing on my task of completing the sorting and the packing and send off the parcels.

And a wholehearted thank you to the following donors for helping make Dress A Girl Australia's christmas bags for the children of CDO Philippines really possible. Here are the last individual donations for 2013 Christmas bags -

From Monika Osvald - 34 bags and assortment of goodies (sorry, Monika, some of these items I have packed last night and I forgot to count. Well, I did start to count but didnt write down where/when I stopped)

Kay Innes - 6 bags,  9 softies and a pack of toy koalas

Elaine Klein - 19 bags and 2 pencil rolls

Carolyn Watson - 20 bags and 7 'eager to go' softies

and Sarah Tanmahapran - 4 bags

Thank you so much everyone including those who donated earlier. Thank you for making Christmas a very positive experience for the children of CDO Philippines. Heaps of thanks!

Christmas Bags #5 - Christmas bags and softies from Sandra

In addition to the 24 dresses and 12 pairs of shorts, also in the parcel were 15 fabric elephants and 16 christmas bags.

15 big smiles this coming Christmas made possible by Sandra's 15 fabric elephants. What a great way to end the year 2013. Again, my heartfelt thanks to Sandra. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. It is very much appreciated.

Christmas Bags #4 - From Dress A Girl Australia

Too late in the night to acknowledge donations. Number 4 on the list is from me (Dress A Girl Australia) with these 6 hand puppets and 5 big-eyed monsters which are owls really. 

Eleven more kiddies will be hugging a softie soon.

Christmas Bags #3 - from Vanya

Number 3 on the list of Christmas Bags and 10 of them from Vanya Bryant. And about 2 months ago I received these cute creatures from her so these are definitely going inside each of these bags. Here are the christmas bags -

and here are the cute creatures sent about 2 months ago -

Thank you so much Vanya for supporting Dress A Girl Australia's Christmas Charity Drive for the kids of CDO Philippines. Much appreciated.

Christmas Bags #2 - From Jamie and daughter Amelia

Christmas bags are starting to arrive in Sydney and number 2 on the list are ten bags with cute softies inside from Jamie Gwiazda and her daughter Amelia. Another 10 girls with big smiles on their faces when they get to receive the Christmas bags with simple contents of a dress, an undie, perhaps a headscarf, a small softie and a lolly but full of love.

A wholehearted thank you to Jamie and her daughter Amelia. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Much appreciated.

Christmas Bags #1 - 11 Bags from Mo

It is time to acknowledge Christmas Bags before they get packed. The first on the list are 11 christmas bags from Mo O'Brien. Just what I need which would fit a small dress, a headscarf and an undie. I might request my aunt who will be distributing these bags on Christmas day to purchase some lollies and add 1 lolly inside the bag. Am sure the lolly would bring a bigger smile to the kid's face :-)

Thank you so much, Mo! Much, much appreciated.
