Hi Everyone! I know I haven't been very active lately, and I feel a bit weird asking this, but I know you guys and I know that some of you will want to participate.
For the past 5 years, you ladies have provided notecards for handmade fleece blankets that are provided to wounded troops overseas. In the past, we have had a lot of notice -- and you guys generously made over 300 notecards. I just got a call YESTERDAY from the woman who coordinates the effort -- she is having the marathon blanket making session on January 28th and asked if I could help her with notecards! That means I need them in my hands by January 21st! YIKES! She had some health issues and wasn't able to pull this off earlier.
If you would like to help out -- here are the details: The notecards are SINGLE LAYER cardstock (you can add layers, but they don't fold) that are 4-1/4 x 5-1/2, they must have room for a note from the volunteer who made the blanket, and they MUST have a large eyelet in one corner so we can tie the note to the blanket with ribbon.
Anyone who would like to help out -- please respond to this message or inbox me here or on Facebook -- and let me know if you need my mailing address (it is in my profile).
Unfortunately, Lisa isn't expecting that we will be able to make as many blankets this year -- because of the short notice, one of the companies that donated a lot of fleece in past years just had layoffs and she doubts that they will contribute as much -- if at all. And if anyone wants to MAKE a blanket, let me know and I'll send you the specifics.
Thank you so much -- any notecards will be appreciated!
