I'll be getting cards ready for this cause. When I first saw Madison I thought it was in Wisconsin because that's where my parents met and got married. I'm sure the folks will all thoroughly enjoy getting our cards and it will make them feel so special!

Thank you for mentioning Hanukkah cards. We have a few friends and neighbors that celebrate the Jewish holidays and a couple that celebrate Kwanza too. Never even thought to make a card for those holidays. Thanks for the eye opener!!
Mailed 25 cards for Novembers cause. Hope they enjoy these Holiday cards. I had a few Fall/Thanksgiving ones I sent too, thought maybe they could still
find a use for those. Deb Pollock............Verona, WI

Whohoo.. The good thing about making Christmas cards all year is then I have extra. I can send 18 Christmas cards Monday. Would that be okay? Envies and all.
I am planning on taking my cards over this week (just waiting for a day with no rain). I am so happy so many of you are sending cards to these lovely folks. It means so much to them when they are remembered!!! Thanks to all!!!
I will be putting 10 cards in the mail tomorrow. I did NOT make them. They were cards that I won in a raffle so I am not posting them anywhere. Great cause and thanks for the work you do for us!

I will be putting 10 cards in the mail today...love this cause.....some of mine are Christmas, and I pulled out a couple Valentine cards I had in my stash Thanks for the Cause
OH I wanted to mention last week I got 2 Thank You letters from 2 of the causes we have sent to, I forget the months but it makes me feel so good to know they appreciate them. Thanks to everyone sho finds these causes......
I just wanted to let everyone know, I saw Andrea today. She says she thinks it is close to 200 cards!!! Wow, you all are so awesome!!! She also said some of the residents asked if it would be okay to send some to soldiers, (so sweet) since they don't get to do that very often. I thought it was wonderful that these seniors want to share the JOY that they are receiving!!! Thank you all so much!!!

I'm starting out late this month. Going thru my stash and hope to make some holiday cards specifically for the residents. Going away for the holiday but will post again once I have a final count of cards to mail. Happy Holiday to everyone, especially the residents at the facility.
