Hi everyone!

Nathan now has a blog for anyone who wants to follow his story. It can be found at nateyfight.blogspot.com . Thanks for all you do for SLT!

Luke is now an angel

Luke lost his battle this week and is now free from his suffering and is an angel in Heaven. His memory is a treasure to all who knew him and he will be deeply missed.

Inspiration from Tanya

Here is a wonderful card from Tanya. We cannot express enough how much your cards mean to all of our SLT friends. To update you; Luke and Claire are currently in Hospice care. Thanks for all you do!

Dominic earned his wings

This was on Dominic Horns Caring Bridge site:
Sunday, September 20, 2009 8:27 AM, CDT

This morning I don't have the words.

Dominic has flown to heaven this morning after a very long night. I don't know what else to say. He passed at 5:50 this morning. He has always been an early riser and has woken up in heaven.

ADOLLABLE!!

Just an update. Maddie's mom switched her from Care Pages to Caring Bridge. Her new site is caringbridge.org/visit/madelinekojeszewski She also has changes to her profile. Maddie is now in 4th grade and no longer likes Disney princesses. She is very much into the Jonas Brothers and High School Musical now. She still likes everything else listed under her info. She has an MRI this Tuesday.

The photo is of an art doll that a new volunteer is making for our friends. Aren't they fabulous! She found us through and ad in Art Doll Quarterly and we are thrilled that she is volunteering to make one a month for us. Bayleigh was a first recipient of one and LOVED it! Thanks to all of you for all you do!

Volunteer Get Together

Hi Everyone!

I sent out an Evite today which tells you about our first Volunteer get together on October 10th, from 9-11 AM, at Panera Bread in North Olmsted. I only sent it to the local Ohio people but if you live further away and want to join us, we would love to meet you too!

The inside of this wonderful card, made by Jodi R., reads-

An Ordinary person
facing extraordinary
circumstances and
acting with courage,
honor and self sacrifice

Happy Labor Day!

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

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!
