This week after introducing my Gift Wrapped Bundle, I decided to take at least this week off from posting a Funday Friday video. I promise I will make it up to you before the end of November with multiple videos for ideas to use the Gift Wrapped Bundle.
So why the "break"?
After my virtual card class last Saturday I have several left over kits of the fall cards we made. I started to put them together early this week and at the same time I looked at a flyer I printed off from the Boyertown Multi-Service Center regarding donations for Thanksgiving grocery bags. Why not email mail them to see if they would like to add a home made card to these bags of groceries?
Within a few hours I received the nicest email back from one of the coordinators who I dealt with before when our D & D Papercrafts supported this charity. Since we haven't been able to have an event this year due to COVID, I decided this is just a small part I could play in making someone's Thanksgiving extra special. I was not entirely shocked when she told me they were planning for 200 bags to be made up this year for those less fortunate. Yikes! That is ALOT of cards!
Despite her mentioning she didn't expect me to make 200 cards, I email her back and told her I wanted to commit to making 200 cards. It is the least I could do, and it keeps me busy making cards that can be used for something special, rather than adding to my stash.
Today I am dropping off the first 50 cards. They are simple, but I feel they will add a personal touch when the recipients are given the bags of groceries. Here is a picture of some of the 50 cards I am taking over today.
Happy Crafting!
