Thank You!

Hi!

Wow, I'm so thrilled and impressed with the response and comments from the Cards that Care blog hop! You guys ROCK! Thank you so much for participating and for all of you making cards for this drive! If you missed it and would like to participate, you can go to Vera Yate's blog for all the details.

I feel like it's been forever since I've posted, even though it's only been since Friday. I almost always post once during the weekend, but I decided to take the weekend off because Christopher was at camp and I had a rare weekend alone with hubs! We had a nice dinner out on Saturday night, and yesterday, we adopted two new pets! Can you believe it? We already have two cats and two parrots so we're not exactly in need of another non-human companion, but I couldn't resist! I'm a major animal lover, I used to work as a Vet Technician and I've done wild life rescue volunteering. So, what new pets did we get? You would never guess so I'll just show you a picture.


These cuties are Sugar Gliders! They are amazing little critters! We have two baby girls between the ages of 8-12 weeks. In the next few weeks I will be going through a bonding process with them so they recognize me and each family member as part of their colony. Once bonded these little sweeties enjoy sleeping many hours a day, their night, in a shirt pocket and when they are awake, they love to play. I'm really looking forward to getting to know them and this whole experience!

We're thinking of the names Cinnamon and Sugar. What do you think? Hubs isn't crazy about the name Sugar since they are Sugar Gliders. He thinks that's like naming a cat, Cat. Christopher loves the name Sugar. First, I suggested Cinnamon and Nutmeg, but he wasn't crazy about Nutmeg. There's also Ginger or Anise, if we want to stick to spices? I'd love to hear name ideas from you so go ahead and leave me a comment!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great Monday!

Cards That Care Blog Hop

Hi! T.G.I.F.
 
I'm happy you could drop by today because it's a special and important day! I'm thrilled to be paricipating in the Cards that Care blog hop benefiting the elderly living in nursing homes. If you are hopping from blog to blog, your last stop would have been with Sheri Faypel.
 
 
Here's a card I made for the drive. I'll be working on several more in the next few days and hope you can join me!
 

The next stop along the hop is Becky Williams.



A few important details about the hop:

  • Please make the cards for Christmas or Holiday Wishes. Anyone can send a card, your children, church group, scout troops, etc.
  • All cards need to have a message in it. Please also sign your name and where you are from. No need to put anything on the front of the envelope. Also, please don’t seal the envelope.
  • All size cards are ok. Just please send them in an envelope.

  • A few months ago, I had asked for volunteers to take cards to nursing homes. If you were one who contacted me to let me know your nursing home gave you the “OK” to do this, please email me again. I don’t want to miss anyone!
To thank you for your generosity in supporting this drive, we have PRIZES ready for several winners. Remember… the more cards you send the better your chances.
