Give Help to People Battling Cancer - Cards of Hope

I received a message from Cards of Hope recently, requesting for donation of items for people battling cancer.

I have donated some craft kits. But what I can help is minimal. I hope that more people battling cancer can get donations. Thus, I would like to share information about 'Cards of Hope' here. Hope that more people can make donations and more people battling cancer can get help.

Cards of Hope is an international program held by Lacie Hester. She sends out inspirational cards to people battling cancer. For children on the list, she sends out cards with stickers, temporary tattoos, coloring pages, bookmarks and etc. Monthly, she sends out care packages to everyone to help pass their time during Chemo and Radiation.

She has about 450 people currently enrolled worldwide. Of that 450, 400 of them are children. Most the children enrolled are between the ages of 5-9.  She normally gets about 2-4 new requests a week to have a child added. Any donation would be so welcomed.
Below is the website for Cards of Hope:

Old Sewing Machine

When I saw this sewing machine music box, I thought about my grandmother.

She had a such sewing machine at home.

Though she got old and could not sew for a long time, she kept the sewing machine at home for a long time.

She like sewing very much.

When I was a baby or little girl, she sew a lot of clothes for me.

I miss her so much!

Not sure if she is still sewing in heaven??

This is a guest post by one of my students, Joel Cherrico. Joel signed up for my Create A Profitable Online Store course without knowing anything about websites or online stores.

Quite frankly, I’m absolutely amazed at what he’s been able to accomplish so far without any technical knowledge. Here’s his story about how he created an online store selling his own handmade ceramic pottery.

When my Dad first sent me the website MyWifeQuitHerJob.com I was skeptical. I thought it was just another get-rich-quick scheme, but I decided to shoot an e-mail question anyways.

Happy New Year 2013

Hello

Hello!

I like arts and craft so much.

I like painting, handmade jewelry, sewing, etc.

I like to do crafts with my son, too.

Thus, I open this blog for sharing beautiful arts, kids crafts ideas and activities, and my own artworks.

Arts and craft shine my life.

Hope that this can also shine yours.
