Blogging…

Hey there!  

Quickly – if you are a Cards for Kids person, please scroll down to the end of this post.

So… I am the host over on the Hero Arts blog this week.  I am doing some ideas for "cards that give" – cards that hold or incorporate gifts such as cash, gift cards, etc.  Be sure to click HERE to see today's post.  This is very similar to the card I posted over there… I taught this one at a class here in town.

A quick update on the Cards for Kids card drive.  I have done a lot of thinking about this and decided to extend the prize sessions from one month to two.  There are many reasons.  First, the holidays.  I know we are all busy.  Second, pulling the prizes together takes a ton of time – time I would love to spend making cards for the kids instead.  So.  Here is the thing:  The prizes I am announcing will be given on 1/31.  So anyone who sends in cards by then is eligible.  And for those of you who rushed to get cards to me this month, I am sorry.  However!  This gives you more time to make more and get them in.  I hope you all understand, and that this will result in more cards for these kids.  So – in summary – the first set of prizes will now be given on 1/31 instead of 12/31.  Thanks!

Next, two of our kids could use our prayers.  First, Kate starts her 5th round of chemo tonight – a really tough round.  Please keep her in your thoughts.  (Click HERE for more info.)  Also, sweet Sami has hit a pretty scary bump in the road.  I pray she gets home quickly.

OK… off to get some more work done.  Night!
