The heart is the perfection of the whole
organism. Therefore, the principles of the power of perception and the soul’s
ability to nourish itself must lie in the heart. ~Aristotle
Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to the 2018 Cards for Little Hearts
"Heart-Themed" Card Drive.
Cards for Little Hearts is a global card drive, comprised
of crafters dedicated to bringing smiles, hope and encouragement to as many
children with congenital heart disease as possible by providing heart center
staff with handmade cards that are given to patients during their
hospitalization. The current card drive will run from January 1st -
February 1st for Heart-Themed (non-Valentine’s Day) "Thinking
of You" cards to celebrate the patients during February's Heart Month. Cards will be hand delivered to heart patients
at both Nationwide
Children's Hospital (in Columbus, Ohio) and the Rainbow Babies
& Children’s Hospital, (the Congenital Heart Collaborative in Cleveland, Ohio).
Anyone is welcome to
help make and send cards – from a young child who loves to doodle to an
experienced, acclaimed card maker.
Please read the guideline page located on the Cards for Little Hearts' website
for important information prior to making and sending in your cards. You can
also find additional helpful resources on the FAQs page and a Sentiments List. There
is also a Gallery page if you need some inspiration.
Here is a sample of some of the cards I sent in. My cards were created with the older kids, especially the boys.
Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your visits and comments. If you have any questions about the guidelines or the card drive itself, please contact Christina (HERE) directly, founder of Cards for Little Hearts.
(Hugs) Cara
