Karen here,
and I have a rare Saturday off here on the challenge side because we have new
challenges on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, and announce our
winners on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. If there is a 5th
Saturday like this month, I get a day off and you get an extra week to
participate in our challenge (scroll down to find the current Anything Goes 4
Kids challenge.) But I am always blogging on my personal blog here, so if you
want new card ideas almost daily, come visit and become a follower and/or
subscriber if you are not already one.
I just wanted
to share with you on this challenge side of our SAS4Kids blog our awesome news:
2015 is going
to be a great year at SAS4Kids! I am excited to share with you that we have
just added another volunteer who will be collecting your cards for three more
children’s hospitals! That brings the
total of hospitals we serve up to 13! The new hospitals are in California and
our new volunteer is NanaConnie. Many of you will know the name as she is on
many design teams and has been in our top three several times with her gorgeous
cards. NanaConnie has graciously volunteered to receive your boxes of cards, sort
and label them and bring to three children’s hospitals close to her home in
California.
To see pictures of our wonderful volunteers who accept your cards (besides me), click on over to the home page of this blog. NanaConnie is the cute one in the pix she provided:)

Here is the
address to send your cards to: NanaConnie Chapman, P.O. Box 80083, Bakersfield
CA 93380.
For the time
being, please send all your boxes of cards to Janet Bailey’s address and to
NanaConnie’s address so they can build up a supply and start bringing boxes to
their kids in the new hospitals. Of course, we will accept boxes at the other
locations as well, but the new sites need them more than we do in Wisconsin and
Iowa.
I want to get
these sites going as quickly as possible, so will be stopping the search for
new volunteers at this time. However, if you have been in contact with me
already and hear back from the children’s hospital near you that they would
like to receive our cards, we will be happy to add you as a volunteer site.
Our current
needs are listed in the blog post here, but we accept cards for any holiday or
occasion as long as they are appropriate for kids and follow our guidelines
under the tab above.
Please join me
in welcoming both Janet and NanaConnie and thanking them for helping us cheer
more kids and their families. They are waiting for your boxes and cards, so can
you make and send some cards to them soon?
Stamping
smiles 4 our kids, Karen
