Martha Stewart one night classes at Michaels in Ellicott City, Maryland

The Michaels that I teach Scrapbook classes at is going to be offering one night classes on how to use Martha Stewart punch around the page punches in a huge new way, and Martha Stewart glittering techniques coming May 2011.

There are so many different things you can do with the punch around the page sets. I will be posting pictures of my creations with these punches in a few days.

Letters from Ronald McDonald House

The attached is the actual letter received from the Ronald McDonald House acknowledging receipt of the first batch of 90 cards I mailed them in March. In April, I will be delivering twice as many cards with envelopes to them and the Hope Lodge, for a total of 366 cards being donated in April.

Ronald McDonald House of Baltimore, MD

While I was talking to Karen Seaberry, the manager of the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in Baltimore, she advised me that the Ronald McDonald House was right across the street from them, and they might benefit from
some of my children's cards. I called Debbie Hood at RMH and she said she gets requests for cards all the time but they don't have any.........I am sending a box with 90 cards in it today.

My card supply is totally deplinished now (except for Halloween and Christmas cards), so I need to start making more cards so I can keep these two houses stocked at all times.

If anyone would like to donate to help cover the costs of making cards for these two locations, please do so through the Donate button above. Thank you for looking at my blog.

American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in Baltimore, MD

I was on Etsy yesterday looking at cards for sale, when I found a post about the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge and how the Etsy workshop in NYC was making cards for their local Hope Lodge.

After researching about the Hope Lodge online, I finally found one of my choices of where to donate my cards. They will be receiving 130 of my cards.
