Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday that a posted was created, but it has been 4 days!
We are posting contributions from April, so please be patient! We attempt to put each and every contribution on the blog...
Last month, Fran K from Piedmont, AL sent us cards made by ladies from 2 groups that stamp for our troops - they are from the Cherokee County Catholic Mission and Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Each group made the same card designs and all together, they contributed 60 cards.
3 different designs, Fran heard our request for "blank" cards -
and for masculine cards, too! We appreciate receiving boxes from Fran every month and for the efforts of the groups of ladies that take the time to create these cards!
From Clemmons, NC, Ann C is a frequent contributor to our cause. Ann created and shipped us 111 cards - many Mother's Day, thinking of you, thank you and blank (no sentiment) cards, too.
Ann sent us supplies - stamps, card stock, envelopes, markers and more. We appreciate the supplies as we use them at our monthly stamping events - this weekend, over 1200 cards were created by our volunteers and stamped and assembled at 3 different FOH events - and most were made with donated supplies. We could not put on these events without the help of so many of you!
Ann also sent us a check to help with postage - we appreciate ALL the help and support that Ann provides.
Cynthia K, Norco, CA is also a frequent contributor to our cause. This time, 252 cards were in her box. 148 were Father's Day, and 84 Graduation cards were enclosed - we sure were happy to see these!
We are always amazed when we receive such a big box of cards, each one carefully made by one individual, as we know how much time it takes! Cynthia also sent us a check to help with our costs - and we appreciate it so.
Next up is a box sent to us by Jennifer S from American Fork, UT -Jennifer writes "All but 5 are box ready with envelopes, slips and white card stock inside. The 5 are odd shaped. I hope you have clear envelopes for them." Yes, we sure do - this is where some of the donated funds go - we purchase some odd sized envelopes and clear envelopes for just this reason! She goes on to write: "About 100 of these cards were made by the women of the Hillcrest 6th Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The supplies were also donated by them. The rest of the cards are mine."
Here is a sample of the cards made by the ladies of the HIllcrest 6th Ward:
And Jennifer made these - and many more.
Jennifer also included supplies for our use - tape, paper and more - our thanks to Jennifer and all the ladies who stamped in support of our effort!
From Cedar Rapids, IA, Jan C sent us another box.
Lovely cards - 50 ct - many love you and an assortment of others.
Jan sent us 8 packages of pens and writing pads, too - these we place inside the boxes that we ship over (we lay them on top of the cards).
Our thanks to Jan for her continued support!!!
