Sounds like a lovely little practice. (and I hope I'm not treading on your thread, but I wanted to address Popcornbird's comments)

Popcornbird- Rituals like this are helpful because it encourages us to examine our thinking & change our focus, not because this will "magically" make something happen, or that we believe "it's the full moon" doing something. Every step of the process acknowledges the Law of Abundance: that everything we need is provided by our loving Creator (or insert whatever Name works for you), and that we are open to receiving these gifts.

Rituals also keep us mindful of the Law of Attraction: whatever we put our focus on increases. (If you focus on abundance and prosperity, you realize your need is always met, just when you need it. If you focus on lack, that's what you get - there never seems to be enough of anything.)

Different strokes for different folks.
