There may be some organizations such as homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and Ronald McDonald House that would gladly take your travel size shampoos, conditioners, etc. I know I used to donate mine to the R.M. House - not sure if you have those in Canada though. Your tulips are very pretty. A breath of spring!<br />Hugs, BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-42227876111121711372013-03-08T15:35:07.934-05:002013-03-08T15:35:07.934-05:00Your tulips look splendid and what a fantastic col...Your tulips look splendid and what a fantastic colour to brighten your day.

I don't envy you at the prospect of moving, but I do know how exciting it can be and wish you luck in your search! My son and his wife just entered the ring of trying to buy a first home. The first one they really wanted get grabbed right under their feet (they didn't act fast enough) and the 2nd is someone who left to move back to China and the communiction stinks.
