give a card – get a smile :)
Since we’re collecting handmade Valentine cards from our firefly fans to distribute at Children’s Hospital of Michgan, we thought we’d share some clever ideas from Miss Martha and Disney’s Family Fun.
Don’t boxed Valentine cards look boring after perusing these pretties?
And if you’re crafty with the scissors & glue… we’ve even added some snazzy clip art you can use.
And for the kids that like to color, print this sweet sheet.
We’ll be collecting and displaying your handcrafted cards at our Berkley & Rochester locations until February 10. And if you don’t live near by and want to participate, please send your cards to: catching fireflies 3117 W 12 Mile Berkley, MI 48072.
When making your cards, please consider not signing the cards so family members and/or staff could personalize the cards themselves and give them to the patients. It means more to the patients to receive a card from someone familiar vs. a stranger. The patients also like to be able to give cards to their family members or the nurses and staff caring for them.
When you bring or send in 3 or more cards, we’ll give you this wood sign block with any purchase to thank you for helping us send smiles to kids who aren’t feeling too well. We may not be doctors or nurses, but we can still prescribe the best medicine around… LOVE
(for online orders, please mention your participation in this project so we can include the free sign in your shipment.) *1 free sign per family
