St. Patrick's Day cards were mailed out Feb 2 and our volunteers in Topeka were busy not only turning our donated card fronts into cards, but they found time to create some GREEN to add to the most recent box of lovely cards shipped our way. Regina's note says it all. 184 of the 230 cards they shipped were created by their volunteers and they would have made more, but ran out of green card stock!
Take a look at a sample of the cards they created, in addition to those they converted into cards from all those card fronts received by many individuals, nationwide:
And this is how she carefully packs the cards for shipment to the home office:
Beautifully handcrafted - this is the QUALITY work that our volunteers in Kansas turn out and send to us on a regular basis.
We are told that they are running low on all occasion card fronts - they have worked diligently to make cards out of donated fronts and swap cards that what they have left to work on is mostly Christmas cards.
Not that they mind - but we are told a little variety (perhaps summer, birthday, thinking of you, miss you . . .) would be like a breath of spring right now!
Card front donations are shipped to a different location - contact us at cards@fromourhearts.info and we'll e-mail you the address to ship those card fronts, swaps, or even "bent" or "dogeared" and worn out handcrafted cards that you think aren't usable. These talented ladies in Topeka are the "experts" at turning them into gorgeous cards! From Our Hearts recycles, reuses . . . !
