Sue, I love your snowman!
I'm fighting an eye issue but will do my best to get my cards out this weekend.

one reason my cards are delayed, the nursing home in my
hometown in PA had a request for folks to send a Holiday card
to cheer the patients up. I decided I wanted to make one for
each of the patients and another group for them to send to
grandkids or great grands in case they had no way to get a
card to mail out. And.... since any package is going into a
quarantine room they needed to be sent out ASAP so here's
about half of the cards I put together from several Spellbinder's
Card kits from 3, 10 card kits, I got 140 cards using additional
card bases. Many thanks to the You tube posters for all of the
inspiration

Oh Elizabeth you are amazing. They are all gorgeous and will be so appreciated.
Sue, I have your precious card. Thank you.
I have been to the PO and my cards are now in USPS hands...here’s hoping you all get your cards, LOL.
(And should you see any booboos, my apologies. I know I shouldn’t stay up late trying to make anything but I was determined for your cards to be done and mailed today.).

I've received lovely cards from Jill and Sue. It
IS beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Finished mine up last night and out they'll go! I wonder when Amazon will start mail delivery (LOL)? I'm seeing their delivery vans everywhere....

Almost forgot - Elizabeth, what a wonderful and generous gift you've given folks who need help (especially this year). I work with people who are Nursing Home eligible; our mission is to keep them at home in their community, so we provide all inclusive care. Thank you for doing what you did!

Cheryl, I worked with a company that arranged home doctor visits
with the homebound elderly. Our main goal was to keep them in
their home and out of the hospital and nursing homes. We saw them
frequently enough that any emergent problems were caught before they
became real emergencies. We were able to order most tests to be done
in the patient's home when the doctor felt anything was necessary. The
advantage of seeing the patient's living conditions was such a plus in their
medical care.

I've now spent several days pulling out stamps, dies, paper, ink - you name it. I've managed to make 5 cards that have absolutely nothing to do with what I pulled out, and at least that many in the trash can. I have no idea where my creativity went, but I wish it would come back.
The good news is I found the Halloween postage stamps, the stamps that I purchased over the past year for making Halloween and Christmas cards, and even a few for making birthday cards.
If anyone sees my mojo, please send it home. I neeeeed it!
Great job, Elizabeth. I know that your hard work will be much appreciated.
