Creating for happiness
Cards for Kids is such a good cause for creativity, and it’s so easy to get involved. Make a card (or several) and send it in, and it will be delivered to someone who needs a bit of sunshine in their day. Cards for Kids is currently sending paper joy to thirteen seriously ill youngsters and their families, including brothers and sisters too young to understand situations that involve so many doctors and hospital visits and challenges that we all wish no one ever, ever had to face.
And as scrapbookers, I just know we all have extra bits of paper waiting for a purpose. And stamps and stickers that aren’t getting used. Even some extra glitter, perhaps. Adding some sparkle to the day for any of these kids and their parents would be such a perfect way to put those supplies to use. Cards for Kids even has several generous sponsors that give prizes to randomly selected cards sent in, just as a bit of happy karma for spreading sunshine.
Whether you send a card to Cards for Kids, to someone you know personally, or just leave one at your local hospital or doctor’s office, please remember that handmade and handwritten thoughts really can make a difference for someone else. If making stuff makes you happy, this is just an entirely win-win ordeal.
