From Our Hearts receives boxes on a daily basis, some decorated and some come to us just like this one, just a box addressed to us with a return address. Little did we realize we were in for a big surprise when we opened it.
Lois B from Columbia, PA has been very, very busy creating 310 cards for From Our Hearts and take a look at the packaging! Each type of card was sorted and placed in a handmade box - each made of different colors of card stock . . . it was like opening a box of sunshine on a cold Missouri morning!
Lois sent us an inventory of the box (thank you very much!!!). And tucked in between the boxes was a small envelope with a cash donation to help ship them overseas. This will help tremendously as we are now sending boxes to 20 different locations.
The cards are just a few that we took out of a few of the boxes. Just beautiful, aren't they? Lois made each and every one of them, matched them with an envelope and also had them ready to go as she sent them sealed in clear envelopes, too!
Her note to us says that she just loves making cards, and now has a "reason to make cards, after stumbling onto a blog "From Our Hearts" in December '09" and she is already working on her next box!
Wow!!! Are we ever glad she found us. Our servicemen and women are going to love her cards.
Our gratitude goes out to Lois and we are looking forward to her next box - 310 cards is ONE entire box that will go overseas!
And Lois made our day very, very sunny indeed!
