St. Jude Cards for Kids

I am a member of a message board for people who have purchased a Cricut machine by Provo Craft. I love visiting there and seeing all the creations that everyone comes up with. A few weeks ago, a nice lady from Washington decided that she wanted to do something for some families at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, TN. Marcia thought it would be a great idea to create cards to donate to the familes there....these could be thank you cards, birthday cards, any kind of cards that a family might need but not be able to get out and purchase. She's coming here in July to visit her daughter, and she and I plan to tour St. Jude to visit some children there and to distribute the cards. I don't have a number, but I know that there are A LOT of ladies who've signed up to make cards and send to us to give these familes.

Here are the first few that I made:

tools ~ Cricut Expression; CM mini-square punch; eyelets; Cuttlebug w/birthday embossing folder

A couple of Fridays ago, my friend, Sharon, came over, and together we came up with a couple of luggage tags for Sharon's boss and his wife. He is a big Memphis Tigers fan, so we definately wanted to use that for his. And for his wife's, anything girly was great.

Well, it has been months since I've posted. I haven't been completely idle, though, just lazy about posting on my blog. I'll upload several pictures to show what I've been up to since Christmas. I'll admit I was reminded that I needed to get back to posting by a fellow blogger, Enfys (Check out the wonderful work of Enfys .) Thank you, Enfys.
