Default Compassionate Cards Feb '10 Mission

Hi Everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read this post! I am very
excited to get started with this month's Cards for a Cause mission. This month will be the Safe Horizon domestic violence shelter located in New York, NY. For more information, please visit their website at:

www.safehorizon.org


I think it would really help boost their moral to know that a complete stranger thought about them and made them a card just for encouragement and hope. I hope that you will join me in this important cause.

There are no restrictions for your card donations. Anything that you can do
to help and encourage would be much appreciated. Some ideas for the cards would be: Hello, Hi, Thinking of you, Thank you, Wishing you all the best, Greetings, Warm Wishes, Let Your Light Shine, Smile, and Happy Birthday. Children�s cards would also be appreciated. Please leave them blank inside. I have a pre-printed message that I place inside each card. Please try and send an envelope along with your card, if possible.

I'll be sure and update how many cards we have donated. Feel free to
post a link to the cards that you have made so we can all see your work! :0)

Please have your cards to me no later than February 28th.

Send them to this address:

Compassionate Cards
PO Box 1145
Gig Harbor , WA 98335

Please do not hesitate to ask questions. Thank you in advance to all
that can participate! I know they will appreciate them dearly. :0) Julie.

Hi Rosalia from NY- Thank you for the beautiful card donations that you sent in. The frogs, snails and puppy dog tails card is so cute. I love the Hatty Birthday card with the victorian looking hats. Super cute cards! Thank you so much! XOXO, Julie. :0)

Default Recieved cards from Anita in OH

Hi Anita-

I recieved your cards on Saturday. Thank you so much for your beautiful card donations. I love all your cards. The purple card with the top note and the saying "All things grow with love" is so pretty. I love the card that you made with the saying, "Praying God's love lights up your birthday in a very special way!" That is sure to bring a smile and peace to someone that is suffering. Thank you again for giving of your time and talents in order to lift someone else up. XOXO, Julie. :0)

Julie, I have a priority mail box full of 202 cards and envelopes. These are more sample card fronts made over into full size cards. I''m happy to be able to get another box out to you. I'll get them to the USPS tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get them in time.

I'm not posting any since many of them are not my cards but made by other SU demonstrators.- Kathy

Wow Kathy! That is wonderful! Thank you so much. Would it be alright with you if I showed them on the video, but mention that some were from card swaps? I thought I would double check just to make sure. I will let you know as soon as I recieve them!! XOXO, Julie. :0)

Default Total for February

How exciting! We had a total of 299 cards donated this month to Safe Horizon. You ladies just keep amazing me with your creativing and talents. I know how much time and effort that goes into making one card yet alone the numbers of cards that you all take the time to send in! Here's a video of this month's mission:
