62 to Give

A big thank you to the ladies who joined me last night to make cards to give to the North Shore Homeless Shelter. We powered through 4 designs and ended up making 62 cards in just over 2 hours. I am so excited to be able to do this over the holidays. Last year I remember reading an article about a man who was at the shelter and all he wanted was a phone card to call his daughter on Christmas. I got thinking that there had to be other people that the shelter serves that want to be able to contact family or friends but do not have the resources to do so...and thus the idea to make and give cards was born.

The ladies were also very generous in bringing donations of personal care items and warm clothing as well as stamps for each card. Thanks again ladies, I am sure our donations and cards will go a long way to bring some Christmas cheer to some people experiencing tough times.

Below are samples of the cards we made.
