Valentine's Day Make 'n Take

I'm super excited to host a make 'n take this weekend at the Fishers Library. I've been doing these in my home for several years, but this will be a great new venue to branch out to as well. Here's a sneak peek at some of the cards that participants can make:

Make 'n Take FAQs:  

• When?  Where?  How much?  
• I typically offer make 'n takes January-August when I'm not busy with craft shows.  The cost is $10 which covers the materials for up to 5 cards.  
• Do I have to be "crafty"? 
• Nope!  I provide everything-- including step by step instructions.  Seriously, all you have to do is glue.  But... if you are "crafty," I always include options for you to customize your cards and materials for you to design your own!  
• Would you do a private make 'n take for a special group?  
• Yep!  I'd love to customize a make 'n take for your moms group, Bible Study, Girl Scout Troop, or just a girls night with friends.  The best group size is between 4-8.  

A Heart for Adoption

I was so excited when I heard a few months ago that my sweet friends Tim and Anya are planning to adopt! If you've adopted (or know anyone that has), you know what a financial strain it can be. Tim and Anya have asked their "village" of friends and family to help bring this sweet child home to their family.

I decided that I wanted to create a special card just for them. For each card purchased, $1 will go to their adoption fund. (The other $1 barely covers my materials and Paypal fees, so this isn't a get rich quick scheme for me, but truly a way to help them.)

Here's a peek at the card:


Why "Blessed?" Well, for one, it's versatile. This would be a great birthday card, baby card, thinking of you card, missing you card, or thank you card. Two, I feel blessed that I can use my gifts to help my friends. Three, (and most importantly) this little one will be so blessed to be part of their family.

If you'd like to help support them (and get a great card you can use!), here's how:

1. Visit Cards by Jessica on Facebook.
2. Click on "Shop Now" on the left side.
3. You should see two options. If you are local to me or Tim and Anya, you can choose this option with Free Shipping. If you will need your card shipped to you, choose this option.
4. Continue to check out.

To learn more about Tim and Anya's heart for adoption, be sure to visit their blog. And, if you have questions about any of this, please let me know. You can always contact me via email at cardsbyjessica@gmail.com.

Let's bring this baby home!!
