Winter Stamping-Bee: Cards With A Cause!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Just a friendly reminder about the Winter Stamping-Bee THIS Sunday, January 20, 2012 starting at noon at my home.  This stamping-bee we will be making all sorts of great cards to support the Cards With A Cause idea we started in June 2011.  They absolutely LOVED getting all of the wonderful cards last summer when Patient/Teacher Friend delivered them.  Here are some of the cards that were produced during last summers Stamping-Bee: Cards With A Cause evening:

In all we counted almost 300 cards had been made to donate to the Cancer Center at the time.  I can't wait to see everyone and see what we come up with this time around!  Remember there's no need to bring anything besides yourself and the willingness to dive in and make some cards.  I will have everything else (including snacks!).  For more information on the project please review the post from October 2011:  Every Time A Bell Rings An Angel Gets It's Wings. 

Last fall (after the original blog post) I received a letter from the Cancer Center where the cards had gone.  Here is what the Manager of Volunteers had to say:

Dearest Stamping Champions,

The cards you sent us are a welcome gift.  We have placed them in baskets in various waiting areas of the Cancer Center.  We called them "Care Notes" for lack of a better name, and the sign tells everyone, "Care enough to give the very best.  Give someone you care for a Care Note."

They seem to be going well.  Everyone comments on how creative they all are.  Patients, caregivers and staff alike are giving them and receiving them.  Please let your team of stampers know how much joy their gift has brought to our patients.

God bless each and every one of you.

Sincerely yours,

S.G.

Manager of Volunteers

NO experiance making cards or even putting two pieces of paper together with glue is needed for this project!  I hope to see many of you there on Sunday!  For more ideas of what people came up with last summer feel free to check out the "Cards for Cancer" Album on my Facebook page.  Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

Always~
