stampingonthebackporch
On a Facebook live I made eight quick and easy pocket cards and challenged my viewers to make and post one over in my Facebook group - the Back Porch Stampers. Over 200 pocket cards. Have been posted - how amazing is that!!! Then Jjlie Heitz, a team member and friend, called with an idea. "The moment I stamped “sending healing hugs” my heart felt something. A quilt, a hug and I thought “this quilt could be the hug someone needs during these Times”. Then my mind started racing and I had to contact Karen with an idea that was put on my heart. “Would you be interested in...

Celebrating Galentine's Day!
stampingonthebackporch
We had no idea what Galentine's Day was when we received a Galentine's Day card. I actually thought it was a misspelling - and Tim won this argument. There is a funny story about how this became a holiday - dating back to 2010 and an episode of Parks & Recreation - but what a great reminder to celebrate those platonic friendships! Those friendships we can count on though all of life's ups and downs - we are so grateful to have those. This is a reminder to thank those special people in our lives - and to share a story with them about how they have impacted our lives. We would love to hear...

info_outlineThanksgiving looks different this year.Today we will be talking about finding gratitude in difficult times.
Being grateful doesn’t mean ignoring the difficulties - it does mean keeping hope and love and relationships the center of our lives. It means thinking about next year - the stories we will share about “getting through Thanksgiving of 2020”
ITs OK to feel sad and angry and grateful all at the same time.
So many are struggle with mental health issues - we aren’t talking about that.
This year when we can’t be enjoying the traditions of being together celebrating - maybe we can focus on actively serving others in a different way.
Studies have shown that expressing gratitude improves both mental and physical healthier —- isn’t it great that “expressing” is a part of that? Its active - and its meant to be shared!
Here’s where all of us cardmakers have a great start - we have the beautiful things to send —— but I know many of use make way more cards than we send!!!
Let's change that.
What about the kids?
We are their role models - and how we approach this Thanksgiving will leave a lasting impression on them.
Lets explore different ways of doing that.
