 Happy World Card Making Day (WCMD)

Celebrated around the world on the first Saturday of the month, WCMD is a celebration of crafty artisans who create handmade cards. I hope many of you were able to take some time and create a card or two! If you did, consider entering it on our Monthly Challenge! Our theme this month is "Celebration" but we always have an "Anything Goes 4 Kids" theme as well. You don't have to have a blog to link to the party either, so there's really no excuse not to enter. Simply go to the Challenge Rules Tab and scroll down to see how to link your latest creation. Check out our DT's sample cards and other entries on the Challenge Tab page. 

SAS4Kids sends handmade cards to hospitalized kids around the country, and the fall is our busiest time of the year due to the many holidays. However, we send happy mail and encouragement cards year-round, so it's never too late or too early to send on cards. Check the Current Needs Tab to see who needs cards! Addresses are on the Contact page.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in cards and shipping donations. I have sent more than 2,150 smiles this year and more will be sent next month. Other shippers have similar numbers! We couldn't do that without our crafty volunteer card makers and generous donors.
