Our SLT Cowboy Angel

Hi everyone,

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that we lost another friend today. John Williams, our SLT cowboy, earned his wings today. His strong faith and love for everyone is an inspiration to all of us. He followed Stacy's Never Give Up motto right to the very end and he will be deeply missed by all of us!

If you recently were assigned to send cards to him, I will be reassigning you someone this weekend.

Thanks for all you do, both John and his wife, truly appreciated all the smiles our SLT cards brought to him!

Long distance hugs
Sandi, Linda & Barb

Hi everyone!
Great news! Send Love Today was written about in an article in the current issue of Craft N Things. We were pleased to get publicity and hope that it brings in more volunteers.
Here is a very cute card made by our volunteer Jodi! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us!

Summer Fun

Hi everyone! How appropriate I showcase one of my mom's cards on her birthday. She is a very special lady and does A LOT for SLT ! Thanks Mom and Happy Birthday! And thanks to all of you too for all you do for our friends!

Loss of a Dear Friend

It is with a heavy heart, I write to inform you that Alexa B. loss her battle and earned her wings this morning! Her family will remain in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Even if you are not assigned to her, I am sure the family would appreciate cards from friends at Send Love Today!

Another great card!

It is amazing how fast time goes. Please continue to pray for Alexa B. She is amazing and her family is too! They told them 3 weeks ago that Alexa would not make it through the week and here she is still fighting. Please also keep Caleb S.'s family in your prayers, as losing a loved one is always difficult, especially someone as precious as Caleb.
Here is another wonderful card from Jodi! Thanks for all you do for our Send Love Today Family!!

Thanks Jodi!

Here is a wonderful card from our volunteer Jodi! She sent some others too I will share with you. Just a note, Alexa B. has had an amazing week and her family is blessed to have this extra time with her. Luke P and Caleb S are having a tough time right now.

Paper Bag Fun

Hi Everyone!

Here is a fun idea. It is a card I made at Inky Antics booth at a stamping show. If you haven't heard of this company, you should go check it out. They have fabulous stamps and ideas! Anyway, this one is made with a lunch bag and opens up with a message, but also a slot if you want to include a gift card or extra surprise note. Sorry I scanned it in wrong. Have fun with it; the possibilities are endless! I have even made with white, red, or blue lunchbags which I find at Target.

Sorry for my missing in action!

Hi everyone! Sorry I was missing in action! With the end of the school year and my son's graduation, needless to say it has been hectic. (Besides, I wanted to leave Pam's eagle picture up because it is ADORABLE!) Anyway here is a simple card idea that was made with a premade notecard and then embellishing it. Enjoy the sunshine!

Pam's Eagle

Oh my Gosh! This is absolutely adorable! And you would not believe how quick she makes these. Pam, is one of SLT's volunteers and has made all sorts of crocheted items for our friends; blankets, hats, and shawls. This one is her latest and soon may become our new mascot. THANKS Pam!

Thanks Ashley!

Hi everyone! I hope all of you enjoyed Mother's Day with loved ones! I know I sure did! Here is a sample card from one of our volunteers Ashley! Thanks for sharing with us! Anyone that wants to have their samples posted here, just send them to me and I will share with our group!

Thanks for all you do for SLT!

Have a wonderful week!

Sentiments for inside cards

Hi everyone!
One of our volunteers asked for ideas for the inside of cards. Here is one I have found so far. It is made on excel and the bottom row shows the categories you can click on. I will keep looking! They love any messages. I comment on their personal favorites or sometimes just tell them I am thinking and praying for them. If you have any ideas, post them here.

Fun use of eyelets

Okay everyone, now I am not a big fan of eyelets but when I was taught to make this one using the eyelets to pull ribbon through for the dragonfly, I thought it was very clever. Hope you like it!

April Showers

Hi everyone! Wow, did time get away from me or what? I never in a million years would have thought that it has been a month since I posted. That will not happen again. I took a short trip to Florida to help out with my granddaughter, went to Artiscape in Columbus, and who knows what else took the time. Anyway, here is a card I made at my Cuy Falls club; those ladies are awesome! TGIF!

Thanks Jodi!

Hi everyone!

Here is a card sent to one of our friends by our volunteer Jodi. It is ADORABLE! Remember, if you want your creations posted here, send them to me and I will add them.
If you have extra time and want to send an extra card, Sarah is having a difficult time with her platelets lately. She is such a cutie though, she still has a wonderful smile.
Also, sympathy cards to Cheyenne's family, I am sure would be appreciated for our newest angel.

Have a wonderful week and thanks for all you do for our SLT friends!

Family

Hi everyone! This week was up and down with Cheyenne having such a rough week. She made it to Disneyland for her birthday and had a great time. Speaking of great times, I spent the day with my sisters Barb, Linda and Jan along with my mom yesterday and boy did we have fun. Mom twisted our arm and made us go to Archivers (they know her by name)...LOL. Here is a card my mom made. She makes such wonderful cards! Be sure to count your blessings each and every day. I know I do, with my family being one of my biggest blessings!!

Sister Sue

Another week has flown by. I have so much to do in my craft room and so little time. Here is one of our sister Sue's cards. The photo really doesn't do it justice because it cannot show the 3-D effect her cards have. Each one is a FABULOUS creation! What you cannot even see is that on the inside she stamps sentiments on polymer clay and then colors them with chalks. I keep telling her she needs to submit some of them to Somerset Studio or any of the Stampington magazines for publication. Thanks Sis, for your inspiration and for all you do for SLT!

Blessed

I feel so blessed to be working with so many caring people. It is amazing the amount of donations we receive, cards we receive and volunteers' commitment to helping our brain cancer friends! Here is a card from Julie; she hand stitched the saying on this and other cards she sent for our SLT friends. THANKS for all you do for SLT!

Happy Day

Again, the time has flown by. I was so busy with our church marriage enrichment day I didn't post here for two weeks. Here is a card from one of our volunteers which is just adorable.

Remember to cherish your family and friends. I spent a WONDERFUL day with my family yesterday. My family is so important to me and I just couldn't imagine life without each and every one of them. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and such wonderful friends and I hope you have special people in each of your lives too.

Long distance hugs,

Time flies

It is amazing how time flies! It seems like just yesterday I posted to this blog and it has been over a week. Here is a card one of our volunteers made. Nancy is also in my Circle of Friends group and is a very special person! Thanks Nancy for sharing this with us! (She has several others too I will post soon!)
