Once monthly, I go to the Greenville Ronald McDonald House for a craft night. We usually make cards and last night was special to me. I had a group of mothers waiting for me! They were really looking forward to crafting. Their smiles and laughter melts my heart. I try to have a simple card for the young ladies to copy, since most have never stamped before. I always tear up when I see the beauty that comes out of these families. Here are two examples from last night. The top picture with the card on the left was stamped, “Share the Love” and the card on the right was hand drawn. Wow! She didn’t stop with the card, she also hand drew the envelope to match, which is in the second picture. They were so excited to know they got to keep their cards… I love this place.
Which is why Happy Stamp Helen is sponsoring Creativity for a Cause. I’m looking for stampers! As you know, the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern Carolina in Greenville, NC is home to families of critically ill infants receiving treatment at Vidant Medical Center. Stampin’Up! is a global sponsor for this charity and I serve as the Lead on behalf of the company. It is my responsibility to supply the House with hand-stamped greeting cards for the guest. I have all the supplies available to create these cards but I need more “manpower”. This is where your group comes in. (Women’s ministry, group of neighbors, friends, Bible study, Mom’s group, Bunco group, etc.) I will supply everything needed to make the pre-designed cards; pre-cut pieces, adhesive, embellishments, envelopes and delivery. A donation of $5 per person will help cover supplies so each person can create 6 cards. Will you consider gathering a group of adults so we can make a difference in our community? Please contact me for more information and to organize a date specifically for your group. Thank you!
