Hello! Today is World Card Making Day. The first Saturday of October was designated as World Card Making Day around 10 years ago.  While Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have any official customer events planned, they set a goal this year of getting demonstrators and customers to send out 50,000 cards next week in what they are calling World Card Sending Week.  They will be asking us to let them know how many cards we sent out during this time.  If you send out any handmade cards during this time please let me know how many by email or text, and send photos of your cards, as I’d love to see your creations!  I will enter you in a drawing for several packages of holiday-themed Designer Series Papers and will announce a winner during the week of October 14th. I have a bunch of cards going out next week, including a stack of cards from an event I recently held at my home. I am a member of a local chapter of the American Business Women’s Association and we host several mini-mixers throughout the year. I hosted one a few weeks ago and the attendees each made two fall-themed cards that I will be sending to the organization, Cards for Soldiers. I hope you will all make a card and send a card to someone you love. It is a way more powerful gesture than sending an email message, as recipients of my cards have told me over and over again through all my years of card making!

Thanks for stopping by today!
