Hope everyone is enjoying the cards that I have been posting. Please feel free to leave comments when you see cards that you like.

These are the last of the cards that I have on my computer. The rest are still on my sister's camera so it may be a few days before I can post more card donations.

More benefit cards and a request

Here are three more cards that I made for the baskets. I think these might be the last of what I made. I have to get the rest of the pictures off my sister's camera and I'm not sure if I have more or not (I'm getting old and can't remember).

Oh, I keep forgetting--sorry some of the pictures I have posted and will be posting are on the dark side. The weather did not cooperate that week so most days were rainy and gloomy and not good days to take pictures. I couldn't wait for sunny days because the benefit was quickly approaching.

My cousin Kim (she made the Christmas tree card in one of the previous posts) called me last night. She had a gall bladder attack and is in the hospital. She needs to have surgery but was not sure last night when she will have it. She has to talk to the surgeon yet. Please keep Kim in your thoughts and prayers.

I am having a busy fun day today. My youngest dd is in Kindergarten and every year the Kindergarten has a Thanksgiving feast for their families. Today is the feast so I along with my sister and my dh get to go eat with my youngest. I am sure there will be an early release for the Kindergarteners since the feast starts at 1:00 and will be over by 2:00 (school is released at 2:30). That means my youngest gets out early while my oldest (6th grade) has to stay until 2:30. She won't be happy about that but she will be happy that she doesn't have to walk home with her little sister and another Kindergartener who I watch after school.

Then tonight I go to a monthly crop at a local church. I missed last month's because my DH was busy being a Screamster at Cedar Point so I had to stay home with my 2 dds and my oldest dd's friend who I watch on Friday nights. At the crops, sometimes I get a lot done while other times I get maybe one card done because I am talking too much. Hopefully tonight will be a productive night because I have a lot of Christmas cards to make. Yesterday I started making Christmas cards for my dh's grandma as an early Christmas present and I also want to makes some for my MIL. I haven't even started my Christmas cards yet--I don't even have an idea what I want to do for mine.

I'll be posting more pictures tomorrow!

Lots of pictures today!

I talked to my friend today about the benefit and she said they served around 575 dinners and think they raised almost $10,000! She said a lot of people commented on the card baskets. My friend and her daughter each won a basket of cards!

I have a couple days of not posting pictures to make up for so here are a lot of pictures of the donated cards:
