            Making cards is what we do! Right?  Let's all make a card and send a card every day to someone.
            Receiving hand stamped cards brightens everyone's day and we all need that right now!
            Other ideas...drop off a bunch of Thank You cards at your local grocery store.  Goodness knows those folks are working hard to make sure we all have food!   
            Drop off a bunch of Thank you card at the hospitals or your doctors or dentists offices.  
            Drop off some Thinking of You cards at nursing homes, just to let them know that someone cares. 
            These cards do not have to be fancy, just made with love, and I already know that if you are making a hand-made card, it is made with love and from the heart.
