Along with my desire to start a blog comes another project I've had in mind. I borrowed it from another bloggers page, and I'm hoping all the pieces fall into place.
I've decided to start saving money for having a baby through a gestational surrogate. This by no means is a plan for too near in the future but since everything in my life seems to require planning, I am going to be proactive about this. That said, our first little step is collecting all of our loose change for our baby goal. My husband hates spending change so I anticipate a nice, full, container within a few months.
Secondly, I have a friend of a friend of a family member who makes these beautiful kleenex-box covers shaped like sofas. She is elderly and apparently gives 100% of the profit to cancer. It just so happened that my grandmother was given one as a gift, was inspired to buy 2 for her daughters, and further inspired (by our interest) to buy 4 more for her granddaughters. I bought 5 more to try and raise money for the Great Strides Walk this past spring, and before I knew it, I had people requesting loads of them. My problem is, I need to learn how to make them myself. Also, if anyone knows where I can find a place to sell them online (in Canada) it would be greatly appreciated.
As I said, all for the future, but I am excited at the idea of something to work towards again (since being forced to quit my job due to my health).
