2012 Valentine's Day Card Drive!

Hey everybody! Happy New Year!

Well it's my Blog's 3 year anniversary this month, so you know what that means...a Valentine's Day Card Drive! Woo Hoo! I will be collecting cards for St. Jude's, Vanderbilt, and TX Children's Hospital's again this year and anymore children's hospital's I can find. :)

 

Edited-Another hospital to sponsor!

The last 2 years was a Huge success, so I'm hoping this year will be even better! :)

Here is my first card for the Card Drive.

Here are some of the guidelines from the hospital's and a few of mine. (Please read carefully.)
* Cards need to be a Valentine theme.
* Cards can't have anything about 'Get Well Soon', 'Feel Better', or anything reminding them of being sick. (Only Valentine Cards)
* Please make cards that can be used for any gender or age. (This could be a little tricky, but I think you can handle it!) :)
* No buttons or anything that can be pulled off and become a choking hazard.
* Cards must be able to fit into a 4 1/2 X 5 3/4 envelope (A2 size). (I will provide clear envelopes for each card, so there is no need to send one with your card.)
* You can include a message in the inside, but please remember, nothing reminding them of being sick. (Maybe just a Valentine sentiment.) You can also sign your first name and what state you are from.
*I will be excepting cards for the whole month of January. ( Jan. 1 - Jan. 31, Please don't send any out after that, because I have to send them off so they will get to TN. in time for Valentines Day.) At the end of the month, I will pick random winners for prizes. I will be adding more prizes and sponsors, often. The more cards you send, the more times your name goes into the drawing to win prizes. Let your kids get involved too! :)
* Please send a piece of paper with your name, address, email address, and the amount of cards you sent. (It will help when I have the drawings.) A lot of the prizes will be sent from the sponsor, so I NEED to have your email address for sure!
* Go here for the sponsors and prizes.

*You are welcome to use the hospital logo's on your blog to spread the word, just remember to save it to your computer first.

I know it seems like there are A LOT of rules, but they are the hospital's rules and we want to obey them. So I hope you will join us again for another great year and help us put some smiles on those sweet kids faces on Valentines Day! :)
