Christi - Craf-T-Bear... question for you. Does this organization have a blog or facebook page or any other social media connection? I'm making cards to send to you and wanted to let my blog readers know about the organization when I showcase some of the cards I'm making. It helps to get the word out?
Thanks
jaydee
I tried uploading my card to the gallery but its not by yours. I think it went to my gallery instead?
Cheermom, you have to wait to have your card approved. If you don't have a Fan Club subscription to this site, you have to wait to have your card approved. It should be there soon.

We are in need of "causes" for the remainder of the year, please let me know if you know of an organization that would like to receive cards. We have supported an animal shelter one month out of the year, if anyone knows of an animal shelter we can do that for one month.

Hi! I'm new to this thread. What is the closing date for each months mission? Should the cards be blank on the inside or should there be a message? I am not sure if the volunteers for the organization are going to pick cards and write a message to the recipients or if they are just going to give cards out at random. I want to be as helpful as possible. I don't want to send something that can't be used. Sorry for all of the Newbie questions. LOL Thanks in advance.

ask away, I am here to help. We send blank cards on the inside, you can stamp a sentiment on the inside. The organizations pick a card to send, they write there own message on the inside. We try to get the cards sent by the end of the month, but a few days later is fine too. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Jaydee,
At this point we do not have a specific website or blog up at this point. Mostly because of the confidential things surrounding those in which we help.... it can be very unsafe for some of them & us if we were to post up actual places or names. However, you can always have folks to look me up & PM me on Facebook. My link is in my siggy below.

Our project uses cards that are blank on the insode and ones that have appropriate sentiments stamped in them. But, they should have room for the gifter to write in as well.
As for deadlines for "The You Matter Project", we need cards year round! So, there is no deadline for when people can send us cards.
I would like to start off my saying THANK YOU to those of you who are willing to partake in making and sending cards to our wonderful "You Matter Project"!!! Your kindness and generiosity is appreciated more than words could evr express here in a few typed words.
As of July 11th, 2015, we have received a total of 60 cards from this group!!! They are all so beautiful and very nicely done. What talent you ladies have!!!
43 cards were from: Elaine Grunter in Burnsville, MN
17 cards were from: Norma Goodale in Ludlow, ME
THANK YOU BOTH so very much!!! We have already given out 27 of your cards and more will be going out next week, so we definately need them!!!
