Some of my Alice Makes Music T-shirts are finding their way across the world to children in need this Christmas (because who doesn't need an Alice Makes Music t-shirt ;)). My kids and some of their friends got together and packed some boxes for Operation Christmas Child this year.
It was great to take them shopping and have them choose things they know would light up another child's life. Each box contains 6 things to light up the world of a child in need
