Wonderful Mission this month! We've been without power (  ) since Friday, 6/29/12, with the storm that went through Ohio, so I'm hoping and praying to get it back today or tomorrow. Will work on cards this weekend.
Thanks!

Bless your heart Maggie. I live outside of Nashville and we continue to have record breaking temps. I can't even begin to imagine not having power. Glad you survived!

Okay, trying to clarify. Are we supposed to sign our names in the cards? The instructions above say that we are supposed to. When I checked the website, there is no mention of putting your name in the card. Just want to make sure that I'm sending what is needed. Thanks for the info!

Perfect, thanks for the information. I just wasn't sure if the card was supposed to be from me or from the person giving the gift.

Scootsv...
looked at all your cards and they are perfect!
A lot of them are not age or gender specific so they will work for a lot of our requests.
Thanks for sharing!
