"Like all hobbyists, card makers love what we do. Card making is fun and a great outlet for creative expression. Many would even call it therapeutic, as the benefits of art therapy are well known. But did you know that when we make cards we are actually making the world a better place, one card at a time, for other people, too?"
That quote is from an article on the Scrapbook.com website about the benefits of handmade cards vs. store bought cards and Send a Smile 4 Kids is one of the suggested charitable organizations listed in the article to send your extra cards to.
Here is a link to the article: https://www.scrapbook.com/articles/cards-for-charity.
I highly recommend you read the article and check out the wonderful list of various places we can share our handmade cards with to help cheer kids, soldiers, military wives and others.
Most of our volunteers are posting on the side of this home page their current needs (but you can also send your cards to those who have not posted there.) Next we would like spring and Easter cards as well as Mother's Day and Father's Day cards for the kids to give to their loved ones on those days.
Sending smiles 4 our kids, Karen
