What a beautiful idea! I love visiting with and crafting for the elderly, plus I love making cards, so this is a perfect swap for me :)

This sounds like a great idea. I hope a lot of people join this swap!

I spent a few hours last night making cards for this swap - I'm so excited to be doing Christmas-y stuff :D

I have a question about the donated card: When it says the card needs a message in it. Does that mean just a stamped greeting (w/ my name and location) or something more that I will write in myself? Or could it be either? Thanks, this sounds like fun!

Hi,

I think it is a heart-felt message inside with your name and location.

example: May the holiday bring you peace and joy. Best wishes, Tanya/Chicago

Has everyone sent for this? I'm just curious about how many donated cards were received in total.
