During Caring Hearts Blog Hop, what Savitri wrote captured my thought perfectly. Here's what she wrote: "I have a thing for old people, especially little sweet old men, they make me go “awwwwww” and reminds me of my own grandpa. But in general, lot of them just brings a smile to my face. A little squeeze on my arm, a little laugh, home made cookies, whatever… old folks gives me the warm and fuzzies."
That's exactly what I thought & feel about the elderly. I always have soft spot in my heart for kids & the elderly. I love those jovial old folks that greeted you with a warm hug & smile. They remind me so much of my dad, who always have huge smile on his face.
Am I rambling? Sorry, just really want to share what Savitri wrote, since I can so relate to that. Also, another note, Nancy Krueger, one of my HA Flickr friend, has an aunt that run a a non-profit charity called Letters from Home, in which she sends letters to lonely people in retirement homes. Here's a link to the website: http://lettersfromhomeinc.org/ It's kind of like what I am doing with Caring Hearts Card Drive. They don't accept cards, but they do accept donation to help with mailing cost and all. Thought I share the link here if it's something that you'd like to support.
On to cards, shall we? Since, I am working on tons of holiday card, sticking to simple & quick is a must.

Super cute cards!
oh they are soo cute :)
Cute cards :) I've sent a few cards for the Caring Hearts Card Drive. I'm hoping to get a few more finished to send out to you, but the days just keep getting away from me!!! I am so glad that you are organizing this. When my great grandparents were in a nursing home we went to see them quite often. I always remember the people in the nursing home that never seemed to have anyone come visit them or spend time with them. It was always so sad... I am glad that there are some that will hopefully have their day made when they receive one of these hand made cards from so many wonderful ladies!
So glad your card drive is going well! You are awesome to do this!
And I love your Frosty Friend cards. Super cute design. Adorable turkey cards, too.
What an adorable collection, Vera!
