Making cards for charities such as Cards for Kindness, has become my reason for living!. I had become quite depressed and isolated when illness forced me to need extra oxygen full time. Having a nose hose that gets tangled 100s of times a day is painful and limiting even while being a life saver. I needed to find a way to make a difference in the world despite being so tied down. I’d Been making cards for friends and family for decades and often spent hours per card. Usually each card was different . I still try to make special, thoughtfully designed cards but once I’ve come up with a design I make 5-10 of that design since often it is the design that takes the most time. Making these small batches allows me to make 3 -5 designs per work day. I still feel creative but I am able to reach more people with happy mail!

Thank you for sharing your ideas and inspiration. You may rest comfortably knowing you are a very important cog in the happy mail works!. God bless, Betsy Lute
