monday inspirations...


Oh my goodness, I am so excited about this! I stumbled upon this website somehow and I am really inspired by the generosity of this idea :)
"The Toy Society spreads the love throughout the streets of the world. Nothing to it really just a bunch of handmade toys looking for a nice home. What started as a small street art project in Australia is slowly spreading around the world."
The cool thing about it is that everyone can participate. I am soooo in!!
First you make a handmade toy:

Then, you print out a label, and the Toy Society letter, and put everything inside a ziploc bag and place it somewhere public to be found:

I loooooove it!! I am totally going to make a little toy today to leave at the pool tomorrow for some little kiddo to find!! I will take a picture of whatever I make and share it with you :) Another cool thing is that the Toy Society emails you if your toy has been found and reported. I totally encourage all of you to check out their blog and maybe do this yourself. If you do decide to do this please let me know so I can be sooooo excited!!
Have a great Monday!! The diet starts today by the way!! I hope that I make good progress that I can share with all of you.
love love love

  4. I am so happy you found the site J!
    I do Toy Society Drops. I have completed 5 so far. I scouted out old peoples homes in the area and I leave my toys near the homes. Lots of lonely people need a smile.
    The Toy Society also organise massive drops at Christmas, Easter and Valentines Day.
    It is so much fun.
    Thank you for posting about it.
