Giving To More Hospitals!

Hello! Guess what?!.....We have met our goal for Card's For St. Jude's! Woo Hoo! Thank ya'll SO much!
My sweet friend Kelley helped me out again this year and contacted Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville TN, and they are going to accept 238 cards this year too! We sent 230 cards to them last year. And believe it or not, we have gotten SO many cards the last few days, that we have met our goal with them too! Woo Hoo! Thank you Jesus! :) So yesterday I contacted Texas Children's Hospital, and they have said they will gladly accept cards too! The lady I spoke with, said that she still remembered the cards from last year and she said those cards were so beautiful! :)
They see SO many patients a day, that they can't even give me a number! So we always send all of the cards that we have left from the card drive.

If you are wanting to send cards, Monday is the last day I will receive them! PLEASE make sure if you send them this late, that they will get here by then!

I have been packaging up the cards and getting a BIG prize together. I have had several people (who want to remain anonymous), send me all kinds of goodies! I will be posting that pic soon on the sponsor and prizes page. Thank you again to all of the Sponsors! Ya'll are AMAZING! And I want to Thank my Sweet friend Kelley, for helping me out with the preparations! And I want to Thank my Sweet friend Christina, for making these logo's! Aren't they cute?! She is so talented!

Have a Blessed day!

Cards for Texas Children's Hospital

Hey everybody! I wanted to make a new page for the Texas Children's Hospital Card Drive, with all the info. It is all the same, but I wanted it to be clear, where they are going. You can still post your projects on Mr. Linky if you want to here, we will just keep both card drives together on there. Yesterday I received 128 cards in the mail (in one day)! Ya'll are truly AMAZING! :)
Here are some of the guidelines from Texas Children's Hospital and a few of mine.
* 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!) :)

* Cards must be able to fit into a 4 1/2 X 5 3/4 envelope. (I will provide clear envelopes for each card, so there is no need to send one with your card.)

* Please send all cards to me at:

Winter Sims

Cards for Texas Children's Hospital

P.O. Box 754

Warren, TX 77664

* You can include a message in the inside, but please remember, nothing reminding them of being sick. (Maybe just a Valentine sentiment or a joke.) You can also sign your name and where you are from.

*I will be excepting cards for the whole month of January. At the end of the month, I will pick random winners for prizes. I will be adding more prizes, often. The more cards you send, the more times your name goes into the drawing. 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 drawing.)
* If anyone wants to donate a prize for the drawings, please email me with the details at marcussim@aol.com .

You are welcome to use the Texas Children's logo on your blog to spread the word, just remember to save it to your computer first. (Thank you Christina, for making it! )Also, I put a button on my side bar, if you would like to make a donation to Texas Children's Hospital, just click on it and it will direct you to their site!

And here a couple more cards that I have made over the last couple of weeks. I have been trying to use some new stamps. I think these little critters are too cute! These stamps are some of the same stamps that are up for grabs in the prizes! (No, I didn't use the prizes stamps, I had to buy some for myself! ) :) And I have figured out, that I LOVE paper piecing, it works great when you don't own alot of Copics!

Look how cute he is! I even paper pieced his teeth! :)
Thank you all for your help! :)

Have a Blessed day!
