2020 WHAT CRAZY TIMES WE LIVE IN - THINK RED, WHITE AND BLUE

March 25, 2020 - Hello, my friends.  I do hope everyone is staying in place and keeping safe.  As we try to keep busy and not go stir crazy, I thought an update on our BIG project (as one of my donors likes to call it) might be good.  I love this name!  Thanks Lenore.  I will post a chart here of how our red, white and blue cards are adding up.  Since so many of you are using this time to work on them, let's see how close we can come to the 8,000 goal - just for fun.  So far, I have 325 RWB cards ready to go.  They haven't been mailed yet, but they are finished and boxed up.  Here is my chart - suggested to me by my daughter as a fun way to keep occupied.  I know this should have been colored in red, but I more of a purple kinda gal.

I also thought I would show some of the cards as they come in.  This page will change every time I have something new to report.  Here are a few of the cards I have made - if you do not want me highlighting your cards on this site, just let me know as you send them in.

Two of my card making friends suggested another charity to send your cards to now while I am "on hold".  I do not know anything about this charity, but I trust the two people who recommended them.  BRING SMILES TO SENIORS.  You'll have to Google them.

And my TIP OF THE DAY:

Sequins are not a crafter's friend.  I do not care what you glue them down with, the odds of them staying adhered to your card are very slim.  I can always tell when sequins have been used when I open a box because they come falling out as I lift the cards out.  I used to try to glue each one back on, but honestly, I don't have the time to do that any more.  Loose sequins now go straight into the trash.  So, be warned - use sequins at your own risk!  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Keep checking this page as I hope to be better at keeping it updated as I now have SO much free time on my hands! LOL

Thanks for stopping by today.
