Hi all. It's that time of the year again! Holiday
time is approaching and we are back for the 4th year
for our annual Caring Hearts Card Drive to collect holiday cards for the
elderly that lives in nursing homes. This year, I teamed up again with Jennifer McGuire and we really hoping that we can
bring holiday cheers to as many nursing homes as possible.
We also have a couple ladies helping us in collecting the cards. Tina Schrof is working with Jennifer in collecting the cards. And we want to support the nursing homes that are located in Canada as well, so, we have Anita Recksiedler helping out for our Canada joint venture. Since international shipping is expensive, those of you in Canada can mail your cards to Anita and she'll distribute the cards.

I hope you will join and help us to reach as many nursing homes as possible and continue to spread more joy.
The holidays are about family, about kindness, and joy. During this time many of the elderly who lives in nursing homes would really feel the loneliness or missing their family. Wouldn't it be so awesome if we can bring a smile to their face & brighten their holiday season simply by sharing our love of card making? A simple gesture to let them know that they are not forgotten.
We all love making cards and what’s better than knowing our creations can bring a smile to others, right? Some helpful people already agree to help us deliver the cards to selected nursing homes.
A few important details:
- This card drive will be going on till November 28, 2013. We need to receive your card by November 28, 2013.

Hello! Will the cards be mailed to the nursing homes in a package? Can we use buttons and ribbons on the cards? Also, do the envelopes need to have a return address?
Yes, we will package all the cards in a box. You can use button,etc. No need for return address. You can put your name if you'd like though.
I have made cards for the drive and now need to fill the inside with uplifting words. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, donna
Update on the drive-did you get a lot of cards? Winners?
