Volunteering Always Warms My Heart!

December 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

Hi Friends! I hope you had a nice weekend! I spent most of the weekend decorating for Christmas. All that is left is our tree, which we’ll get in a week or two (we always buy a real one). There sure is an extra cosiness to the house, with the holiday decor and twinkling lights everywhere – I love it!

I have a friend, Jimmy, who works with a group called GOALS (Guysborough Options for Adaptive Living Society), which is a non-profit organization dedicated to developmentally challenged adults. Jim asked me if I’d be interested in making Christmas cards with them – of course, I said I’d LOVE to! I already volunteer with two similar groups in our community but I’d not spent any time at GOALS (which is in another community, about 40 minutes away). So off I went a few days ago, and let me tell ya, we had a terrific time together! Nobody in the group had stamped before and they not only loved it, but they all did a great job too! Everyone made two Christmas cards. I made sure to have everything pre-cut beforehand so that we just had to stamp and assemble, making the cards as easy as possible. 

I can’t tell you how FULL my heart is, whenever I spend time with groups like this. My aunt belongs to a similar group back home on Vancouver Island, so these organizations are very near and dear to my heart. 


Here are the cards we made:

For this card, I simply used a layout from a sample I’d sent out in a recent newsletter. It’s so quick to put together but so pretty with the simplicity of it too. Of course, a little glitter on the house and snow is perfection!

I used the “Cable Knit” embossing folder, which is retired, but I just love it. This was another quick and easy card to make, just by stamping a sentiment and glueing all the pieces together. A strip of gold foil adds a nice touch too.

AvatarI joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…
