Donating Cards to Operation Write Home.

I donate a lot of cards to Operation Write Home. It gives me a good excuse to do something I really enjoy doing: Make more cards! I am trying to fill up this medium flat rate box by February 13 with homemade cards that I make or by my family and Friends wanting to support OWH.

OWH is currently having a Spring Thaw half and half challenge.

Half of the cards you send should be either Spring, Easter, Mother's Day or Father's Day. The other half should be anytime cards (Birthday, Blank, I Love you, I miss you). So far I have 44 Seasonal and 54 anytime. My 2 sisters and niece have donated more cards than I have had time to make. I think this box will hold around 250 with envelopes. I need to get busy!

If anyone else would like to support OWH by donating cards (and have me ship them) please have them to me by February 13. I will stamp the logo on the back and tuck them into envelopes. Please be sure to check OWH website for the specific guidelines in what they want for their donated cards.

Operation Write Home's Birthday Bash

OWH's birthday is September 12. They are having a Birthday Bash for all of September. They are asking for lots of cards to be sent in, Half of them Christmas Cards and the other half anytime cards (birthday, miss you, thinking of you, anniversary, I love you). If any of my card making friends would like to help me support this cause in the month of September; send me your cards I will stamp the back with the OWH logo and send them in. Usually I fill a small sized flat rate box (around 45 to 50 cards) every 2 to 3 months and send in. My goal this time (with your all's help), is to fill a medium sized flat rate box. I'll even pay to ship even more boxes if we fill them up.

Your cards should be handmade only, A2 sized, no glitter, if it is dark cardstock have a light colored liner inside. Here is a link to OWH's website. It has tips in what they want for the cards.

Donating cards.

As I have posted in a previous blog, I love to make cards, more cards than I will ever send out so I donate them to different causes. A couple of times I have sent cards in for the Cards for a Cause Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. Julie who is the hostess for this challenge posted a video of the cards that were sent in for the month of August. I enjoyed seeing several of my cards that I sent in on her video. Here is a link to the video.
