If you haven't already read about the wonderful "take-action" group "CARDS FOR KIDS", please read the post below.
The girls had some friends over today and I decided that it was a perfect opportunity to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak
(i.e. make some cards... for kids).
Here's the "recipe":
1 very worthy cause
2 8-year old girls
2 4-year olds, assorted
6 glue sticks
1 glue gun
1 Martha Stewart ballpoint-tip glue pen for fine glitter detail
cardstock and scrapbooking paper
glitter, buttons, doodads and plastic spiders
muffin cups & doilies
Halloween printouts (thanks to Matthew Mead, Martha Stewart, and my favorite: Emily at Inside a Black Apple)
Miscellaneous ephemera (old sheet music, schoolbook and dictionary pages)
The kids had a great time creating from the craft table smorgasbord, and were excited about the fact that their creations are going to other children.

How adorable! I'll bet the kids loved it! And it was for a worthy cause, making it even more special. I'll have to get my daughter involved in making some cards.
