Operation Smile Awards

In early March I received a beautiful layout created by the CTMH art studio congratulating me as being a 2016 Close to My Heart Annual Award Winner of the Top Operation Smile Donators in the United States.  Then in March at CTMH's new Expressions 2 Book launch, I was recognized with two awards as the Top Operation Smile Donator for the first quarter of 2017 for our regional unit called the Connected Hearts, and also an award for going above and beyond in my support of Operation Smile.  I have now raised over $10,000 to help many children with facial deformaties get the surgeries they so desperately need.

Naomi Smith presenting my award

Thank you for the many donations and support in helping these children.  Together we can make a difference.

Operation Smile Auction

 On March 25th, we raised $$$  with the Operation Smile raffle at our Expressions 2 Book Release ! Thank you to all of the team members who generously donated their talents and gifts for this great cause! Operation Smile  received a $100,000 matching gift from the corporate donor, Nerd HQ. They've challenged us to to match these funds dollar for dollar so every $1 we donated turns into $2! The goal was to raise $480 so we could help 2 children instead of just 1. BUT....We were humbled and thrilled to announce that we FAR exceeded that goal and we raised $637.00!!!!!! So....this puts us at a level that they not only will help 5 children, but ALSO sponsor an operating table as well!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Enjoy some of the fabulous items we auctioned off that day.

There were several more items also.

Thanks everyone!

Operation Smile Award

'Close to My Heart" recently recognized me with this certificate and special layout for being the

" Top Operation Smile Donator for the United States  in 2015".

  I was very honored and proud to be able to help put smiles on so many children's faces by donating to this worthy cause through customer sales round-ups and my annual Stamp & Scrap Day.

Naomi Smith presenting me with my certificate.

CTMH is currently having a contest for the top Consultant donator for 2016.  That person will be able to go on one of the Operation Smile Mission Trips as a volunteer helper early in 2017.  I would love to be the one to go.  I would be honored for any contributions to this worthy cause.  In the eight years that I have been raising funds, I have been able to donate approximately $10,000 to Operation Smile.  At $240 an operation, that has put many smiles on children's faces born with cleft pallets.

Thank you for being such loyal customers, and helping these children in need.

If you would like to donate, just click on the Shopping Cart to your right.  You can place an order, or just donate to Operation Smile or contact me for help.

THANK YOU!

Card Makers!

I have many pictures, too many for here.  There were layouts being made, pictures being sorted, card making, Cricuts buzzing, photos being printed on portable printers, bidding fights at the auction tables, eating, laughing, and getting to know new ladies sharing a common interest.  We had a ball!!

Thanks to you all!!!!!

Donations for Operation Smile

 are accepted year round through rounding up on orders or just straight donations.  They are always welcome.

  That will bring the total up even higher.

HAPPY CREATING!

STAMP & SCRAP

I want to thank each of you that attended my Annual Stamp & Scrap Day that benefited Operation Smile.  We were able to purchase over 6 operations, that was over $1500.  I want to thank the Port Orchard United Methodist Church for the donation of the venue, my Beta Zeta Master sorority sisters that helped me and donated items for the silent auction, Donna Printz for the fabulous lunch she prepared, and everyone that registered, attended, purchased items and donated.  It's because of you that we were able to purchase so many smiles!

I will post some pictures later this week.

Happy Creating!

OPERATION SMILE - DISPLAY BOARD

I was lucky enough to win the bid for this

I was also recognized as the 4th highest donation contributor to

 Operation Smile from Close to My Heart for last year. 

 Thanks to all my customers for all the times

 you rounded up your sales tickets.
