I had two ladies that didn't get there cards here on time, so the total would have been a little more. But the cards still weren't in today, before I had to mail them. I waited an extra day, but still no cards! :( Sorry ladies! I will keep them for next year!

Here are most of the empty packages!
Here's the cards for St. Jude's being packaged. I separated everyones cards, so everyone donated to all three hospitals! :)
300 cards to St. Jude's!300 cards to Vanderbilt's!743 cards to Texas Children's cards!
And here they are all boxed up!
Three of the boxes are the cards, one of the boxes is the BIG prize package, and the package on top is one of the prize stamp sets! I will be posting the winners soon! :)

Ok, I am headed out the door to go have dinner with friends. I will post the winners soon! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #2 & Yes, it's another Card Drive card! :)

Hey everybody! I wanted to stop in real quick and share a card I made today! I have been CRAZY busy with getting the Card Drives wrapped up. I have been getting pics of all the cards together and trying to get big enough boxes for all the cards! I will be sending them off by Thursday. We are also feeling the effects of the arctic blast! It dropped from 73* t0 23* in about a 24 hr period yesterday! That's 50*! How crazy is that?! We have chances of snow maybe late tomorrow or Friday! :)

I wanted to play in the
Lawnscaping Challenge and the deadline is tonight. I needed a little break today, so I made this card. It's another one for the Card Drive...of course! :) The Challenge was to CASE one of Kelly Marie's cards. I chose this one.I used some of of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamps, My Silly Valentine . These stamps are PERFECT for the Card Drive! :) I made a boyfriend for the apple and the banana! :) And who would have thought to tie the left over ends in a bow....Kelly Marie?! Too Cute! :)
Well have a Blessed night and stay warm and pray that those less fortunate find some warmth tonight too!

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!

i {heart} u Card

Hey! Well my husband has been remodeling our Master bedroom and that means, I have been moving around and cleaning up my craft area! And while I was cleaning, I found all kinds of stuff I had stamped and colored and just put in a little basket on my craft table. So I thought...."Hey, I can use these on my cards!" So here is and image I stamped about a year ago and I just added i {heart} u, using some of my Lawn Fawn stamps. It's a very simple card, but I like it! :)
This one is another St. Jude's card. And a close-up.
I have still been collecting cards everyday! It is such a joy to get them in the mail! Thank you all SO much! :)

Have a Blessed Day!
