World Hoop Day 2010.
Well its not far off now and still I have no set plans.
I had 20 hoops set aside to give away on the day, but I decided a few weeks ago to give them away early to local kids in my neighbourhood & suburb where I live on the Gold Coast. It was quite funny. I wasnt sure if the kids where I live would like the hoops or not when I walked out with them and half expected there to be no takers at all. Instead I had a moment where I thought I was going to be mobbed for the hoops and walked back into the house empty handed haha. They hoops were so popular I ended up giving away 26 locally over the period of a couple of weeks, and it seems there is still room to give a few more lol. Im really stoked about seeing the kids using the hoops though, its really lovely!!! One of the boys made me the most fabulous thank you card ever which I now keep on my book shelf and shall do for a very long time! (-:
I am planning on making more hoops to give away on the day. It has been hard to organise anything for the day as I have been away from home & interstate a lot and there were a few communication problems which meant my original idea didnt come to anything – and I didnt find out for certain for ages! I was hoping to have some sort of do for WHD on the 9th October as am also celebrating my 40th birthday on the night before World Hoop Day so it would have worked in well with that and maybe tided over. I and am not so keen of being committed to anything on the actual day which might start early. Only this year though, next year WHD is in Nov lol.
