Hi Everyone.
Happy Tuesday.
Well, I am FINALLY done. I have:
- Looked over all the cards to make sure none were damaged in transit. CHECK
- Photographed cards. CHECK
- Put liners in the dark card bases where required. CHECK
- Stamped the back of all the cards. CHECK
- Matched cards with envelopes. CHECK
- Put all cards into clear plastic liners to keep them looking great. CHECK
- Sorted all the cards into categories. CHECK
- Placed them into packs of 26 in ziplock bags. CHECK
- Used random generator to find the winners of the candy. CHECK
In total – we collected ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE cards. That is AWESOME. In six weeks. That's pretty darn cool. THANK YOU to all of you.
Now, I put all the names down on paper and gave them each a number starting at the top and working my way down to the bottom. I also managed to find a little extra candy so that everyone got a little something.

Thanks again to all of you. Please send me an email and we can work out how to get your goodies to you. I really cannot thank you enough and these prizes are may way of letting you know how much I appreciate you participating in these card drives. We have touched over 5000 people with the cards that have been contributed – and that is fabulous!
I won't be back blogging until Friday. I am out at a workshop for the next couple of days and won't get the chance to get online with a blog post. I will be back on Friday though.
As always, thank you for visiting my blog. Warm hugs and prayers to those of you who need a little lift tonight. Have a wonderful couple of days.
I'm going to leave you with a photo of part of the decorations on our porch. Lou and I decided to change out the tree that was originally there and move it onto the deck instead. I decided that it really needed a white tree in that spot instead. I also moved several other things around… well, I directed the move – Lou actually did it :-) I also wanted to share these awesome Mason Jars that I got at Pottery Barn. I LOVE them. I put fake snow in the bottom of them, put in a flameless outdoor candle (that is set to come on and go off all by themselves!). Found some fabulous ribbon at Target and wrapped it around the top of the jars and tied them into a Jaydee bow. :-) I added a little pinecone to finish them off. Did I tell you I loved them ? I'll share some more photos over the weekend.
Hugs
Jaydee

Jaydee, thank you for starting this card drive and especially for all your hard work to see that it’s a first-class delivery. It was an honor to be a small part of it. And your porch is beautiful–the mason jars are perfect!
Hi Jaydeee,
ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE cards!!!! That is an ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE AWESOME number. I am glad to be a part of this carddrive. The hard work is definitely from your part to organize and package them. That’s ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE cards to package. It’s all fun for me to be creative.
Your porch is so beautiful…the trees, the mason jars, such a beauty. All you need now is some white flakes falling onto the ground which you already had last week.
