Activating my Blog

Nov.8, 2017

Good morning.  I have had several requests to activate my blog, so here goes.  It will be short and sweet, with sample cards and a "Creative Tip" for each post.

As some of you know, I am a volunteer card maker for Send A Smile 4 Kids, a charity that provides blank greeting cards to children in the hospital.  Today, I am working on Winter "Words of Encouragement" cards.  These can be used now until probably through March.  Here are a few I have created:

TODAY'S TIP addresses "Tucking an envelop" for a card.  There are several ways to do this, and if you are sending cards to a SAS4K volunteer, you might ask how they like their envelopes included.  Here is how I prefer my donors to help me by tucking them inside .... it allows easy access for me to make sure they are labeled on the back or to stamp them if they are not.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Hugs - Jill
