Giving

I am enjoying the spirit of giving and I have always loved to make cards - so why not combine?
For my Abby's 4th Birthday this past weekend we collected items for the Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill, NC instead of receiving gifts. I also collected cards to donate for the families so they can stay where they are needed and not have to worry about sending cards.
We collected 2 huge plastic tubs of stuff for the house, and over 500 greeting cards!  I have decided to adopt this house and continue to take them cards about once a month or so.  How can you not love to help out when it involves something you love already??

Another thing I do with my cards is donate them to fundraisers or auctions! I have a high school friend in Ohio who is helping to raise money for the Red Cross to help out in many different ways.  I made her a few simple card packs that were simple and very versatile so anyone could use them!

They are all packs of 6 and can be used by anyone I would think.
