Blue Star Mothers, card donation deadline

The Blue Star Mothers will be packing boxes for our deployed troops on March 10, along with everyday things, they will be including items for Passover & Easter. All cards need to be to me no later than Friday March 2, so that I can package them and make arrangements for them to be picked up the following week. Cards can be left for me at Scraps Galore and China Phoenix (I'm being optimistic here) clearly marked with my name and donation for Blue Star Mothers.

Thank you for your donations they are greatly appreciated.

Blue Star Mothers

As promised here is the schedule for the year when the Blue Star Mothers will be packing for the deployed troops. I do need your donations approximately a week before the packing date to ensure they are picked up and delivered in time to the packing site.

We accept any cards handmade or not and must have an envelope included. Hand made cards do not have to be original creations, simply use all those cards you have received over the years and can't bear the thought of throwing away. Just cut the card front off, place on a new card back and include an envelope ... someone will love using these re purposed cards!

Here are the dates and any holiday they may be including ...

March 10 / Easter or Passover

June 2/ patriotic or 4th of July

September 29/ Halloween & Thanksgiving

November 17 Christmas and Hanukkah

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project over the years

 and to those who continue to support this worthy cause.

Card Donations

This Saturday November 19 will be the final packing for the Blue Star Mothers so I need all donations as soon as possible ... I will be at Scraps Galore on Monday and Wednesday of this week. I need to have the package ready for pick up on Wednesday, so cards need to be there 10 am, unless they are labeled and ready to be put in the box. Thank you for your support of this worthy organization and the soldiers do appreciate have cards to send home to friends & family.

Card Donations

Yesterday I dropped of a 22 1/2 lb box filled with 747 cards that will be part of the packages that the Blue Star Mothers are preparing to send to our deployed soldiers. Their next and final shipment for 2011 will be in November. The boxes will be filled with necessities that can't always be obtained plus some holiday cheer for those serving throughout the holiday season. To find out more about this worthy organization and what they will need for the boxes please go to http://www.rgvnmbsm.org/

So all my card making friends, while your sitting in front of the TV watching all the new shows, grab some of those cards you have received and just can't bear to get rid of and re purpose them. Cut off the front, adhere to a card back, place in an envelope and there you go, one more card that someone will really appreciate ... now on to the next card ... repeat ...
Drop them off at China Phoenix 2 or Scraps Galore clearly marked with my name or Blue Star Mothers! Now wasn't that simple *Ü* Seriously, thank you all for the donations, let's keep them coming. Any questions email me suekapp@comcast.net

Stay tuned their is one more charity that I support all year long but will be asking for your help during the holiday season! Coming soon ...
