Today's blog post is a call to arms for all you card makers out there! Let's put our talent, supplies and time to good use and flood our communities with thank you cards. There are so many people that are not able to "hunker down" in these troubling days because they are essential to keep the rest of us supplied, healthy, fed and moving. Think about the medical care people you know, the grocery store owners and clerks, the small local coffee shops, bars, restaurants, the first responders, even the mail carriers, UPS and the garbage pickup people. All of them are still working and deserve a huge thank you from us.
Yesterday, I dug around and found some retired Memories and More cards and also some card/envelope combos that coordinate with them. I made 10 cards, 2 of each, in about 30 minutes and it was fun! Today I'm sending all of these in the mail to some of the folks I just mentioned above and I plan to make more today. Take a look:
What's laying around in your craft room that could be put to good use today? I hope you'll take up my challenge and join me in flooding your town with thank you cards. Here's another idea. Make some 3" x 3" cards to have in your purse and hand them to people. I so wished I had thought of this before this morning when I had to get some routine lab work done. I encountered 3 people, the nurse who took my temperature at the door, the receptionist that signed me in and the lab tech that drew my blood. I could have given each of them a card right on the spot. That's my next plan!
I would love to hear what you're doing to reach out to others during this crazy days. We all know it's more blessed to give than receive - LET'S SHOW IT!
Happy Stampin' and with a grateful heart,
Sarah
