Caring Hearts Card Drive.


I haven't done this before but the Caring Hearts Drive is in its 6th year.  It is an annual campaign run by Vera Yates and Jennifer McGuire.  For more information click HERE.  Its a wonderful opportunity to give a little something back.  Now I could have sent my cards to an address in Australia but I decided it might bring someone an extra smile to receive a card from way down here so am sending them to Vera.  I made a bunch of these in a production line and really enjoyed it.  I hand wrote a message in each one (after I decided in the first one a stamped sentiment was just not personal enough) and hope they bring a little joy to an elderly recipient.  It has enticed me to make another set for a local rest home where my sisters mother in law spent her last days.  Its true kindness is contagious.



Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Karen, firstly taking part in such a worthwhile cause is a really selfless and lovely thing to do! Secondly, your card is truly gorgeous. I think I am running out of words to describe your art work. I love this card for it's pink simplicity (in a good way). That cute mouse image is one of the sweetest I think I have ever seen...you really are a talented lady...
