We lost my sister Lucy to breast cancer in February 2020.  She was a talented artist and very crafty.  We loved to craft together and share crafting ideas. I am offering this Day-Retreat Suite Escape as a third-annual fundraising event for Breast Cancer research and efforts to educate our communities about breast cancer prevention and early detection. More than 25% of your class purchase will be donated to these causes.

4th Annual Valentines 4 Vets is in the Books!

Our 4th Annual Valentines 4 Vets at Grant Township was a success!

What a wonderful morning it was when the community came together to craft cards

and write heartfelt messages to our local veterans!

I’m so very thankful for the volunteers who came out for this year’s event!

We made about 230 cards this year and could’ve kept creating more! Next year’s goal is 500, and I know we can do it with our amazing community members! Thank you to Grant Township!

It was great that different community organizations attended the event as a group!  

The ladies of the Auxiliary, The Corvette Club, and American Royal Pageant.

It's Make a Difference Day today!

How do you make a difference?

Did you know that it is Make a Difference Day?  I'm so grateful for my Stampin’ friends who helped me make over 45 birthday cards for local foster children at my Birthday Bash Craft for a Cause event this week and all of their support over the years!

How will YOU make a difference today (or this week)?  Let us know!

Annual Valentines 4 Vets

The Grant Township community members made over 150 valentine cards for our local vets in the Fox Lake Area and the Midwest Veterans Closet Valentines 4 Vets event!  Find out more about this organization here:  www.midwestveteranscloset.org

We used extras of last year's valentine paper, stamps, and Paper Pumpkin to make quick and easy cards so we could spend time writing messages of appreciation and gratitude to veterans.

These young ladies from the Lake County Scholarship Program were a HUGE help in boxing up chocolates and helping the attendees with card-making!  And with clean up too!

Our Junior Miss Fox Lake Area traded her crown for a scrap bin just for a bit!

And our Miss, Teen, and Little Fox Lake Area Queens delivered the valentines 

to our local American Legion chapter in Fox Lake.

A BIG thank you to all that came out to help so our 

community could spread some love and appreciation!
