Crafting with kids is awesome!

Recently I returned to the classroom to make a couple of cards with a few students.  I must say that this was so much fun!  The students had a wonderful time and were so excited that their cards were going to be making a plane ride from California to Alabama where they will find their way to Flower's Hospital in time to greet the children who will be spending their time there for the holidays.

I think they did a fabulous job putting together the embellishments that were given to them to create these adorable cards!!!  They also each wrote a special message on the inside.  Thank you so much kids!  You were awesome!!

This is the card I showed them as an example, and below are the cards that they created!!

If you would like to join us this month and make cards for the children who will be spending Christmas in the hospital, click HERE for all the details.  Thank you so much.  Each card represents a selfless act and puts another smile on a child's face!!  We appreciate you all so much.

Have a fabulous day.

I Feel the Love Project- Nov./Dec. 2013

Honoring a past recipient by creating 

cards for children who will be 

spending Christmas in the very 

hospital that is treating her!!

Trin

For those of you who are new to this site and project, Trin is an amazing 11 year old young lady who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January of 2012.  The I Feel the Love Project fell in love with this darling girl and honored her as the March 2012 recipient of our handcrafted cards.  We have been following her progress since then and providing medical updates from time to time.  The latest update provided on her Facebook page states that: 

---Sweet Trin has been admitted to the hospital once again to receive platelets.  Her mother wrote that "this beautiful girl's platelets may be low but her spirit is high!"  Trin has had her ups and downs battling this brain tumor.  Trin has returned home from the hospital. 

Look at the photo of this victory!  Trin dresses for school this October!!  This captures her fighting spirit!!

So with the holiday season upon us once more, we decided that we would send cards to the children spending the holiday at Flowers Hospital.  This is the hospital where Trin receives some of her treatments.  If she is feeling up to it, we are hopeful that she even be able to see some of the kids receive their cards.  We will be praying for this to happen.

If you would like to participate in this month's project, we are looking for Christmas/holiday cards for children.  These will be distributed to children spending the holiday in the hospital.  These will be signed cards, or if you would like to make multiple cards, we can have our staff sign them.  It is always fun to include the state or country where you are from.

We are allowing for an extra week this month's project as we want to collect as many cards as possible for the kids who will be spending Christmas in the hospital.  If you would like to be a part of this month's project:

We are allowing for an extra week this month as there are 200 residents at Chancellors Village and we want to try our hardest to put a card in everyone's hand.  How amazing would that be?  Remember this time we need to sign our cards so that the recipient receives a warm greeting from someone they don't know.  If you send in multiple cards you don't have to sign all of them.  We have a group of individuals who would love to help you out with too!

We appreciate you!!

The I Feel the Love Project just can't thank you enough for all your continued love and support.  As the cards for the August project were boxed up to be sent off to all the SAFEHOME, it was once again a humbling experience to see all the beautiful gifts laid out before us.  We just wish you could share in the experience of seeing how much love goes in these boxes.  The recipients can feel it and are so appreciative.  They tell us in letters that we receive from them.

It is always special to receive cards from new crafters.  A special thank you to those of you who have sent in cards last month for the first time.  I believe that Ms. Angelique is one of those crafters.  Here are the cards we recieved from Ms. Angelique.

Simply beautiful and truly a blessing 

for the people of SAFEHOME.

If you would like to join us this month by creating a handcrafted card for the I Feel the Love Project, we would love to have you.
