Fall is in the air

The daylight hours are getting shorter and the temperatures are cooling down outside, but we're heating up for the fall season of card sending!

With all the holidays leading up to the new year, Send a Smile 4 Kids sends more cards in the fall than any other season. Cute Halloween cards are a crowd favorite with the kids. Some hospitals use them to facilitate a Trick-or-Treat in Reverse event, where they visit patient rooms and bring them treats. Then, November brings All Saints Day and Dios de los Muertos, Diwali and Thanksgiving, giving way to the myriad of festivities in December with multiple days of religious and secular celebrations. 

Which is your favorite holiday to make cards? Do you have a special go-to design for your holiday cards or do you change it up from year to year?

You can show off your holiday - or any kid appropriate card--on our challenge or on our facebook page! Chick to Challenge Tab to see the details on this month's theme. Find us on facebook at https://sendasmile4kids.blogspot.com/

Happy Summer!

Summer seems to be a little more relaxed in our card needs, but we're always working ahead to be prepared for fall and winter! I have finished my Fourth of July cards and am now starting on Thanksgiving cards 4 kids. What are you working on?

Our card challenges start on the first Saturday of the month. Hop on over to the Challenge Tab for the details, be inspired and play along! We love seeing what everyone makes! 

Do you know of a Children's hospital or Pediatric Department who might benefit from some cheerful handmade cards? Just let me know! I am always interested in sending more happy mail to kids. 

Have a happy and safe summer!

 

Wishing everyone a happy spring!
