Good Samaritan Stampers

I always say that rubber stampers are the best kind of people and it's even more evident with the outpouring of their donations to my impromptu Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child campaign this week.  I've given to this wonderful charity in past years stuffing each and every shoe box with all kinds of rubber stamping goodies and of course a handmade card for each box too.

So when I mentioned what I was doing to a friend Lora C. who has also donated to Samaritan's Purse in the past we decided to combine our efforts and began planning.  After a few minutes of our planning I was inspired to offer the opportunity to all my stamping peeps who may want to donate.  So I sent out an email for them to drop off any stamping supplies they wanted to donate and that Lora & I would take care of the rest. A GIANT thank you to Lora for all your hard work and contributions I couldn't have done this without you!

Within minutes of the email there were replies coming in and the response has been heartwarming & overwhelming!  Below are a couple of pictures of all the wonderful donations from good Samaritan stampers who's generosity is going to make this a very Merry Christmas for many children in need. Extra special thanks to Lora, Donna, Katine, Sallie, Kyrie, Suzie, and everyone who contributed God Bless each and every one of you...I am so grateful for your generosity!


 Can you even believe this mountain of paper?!  
An HUGE thank you to Sallie D. who volunteered to cut all of it herself!!!

Here are all 69 of the completed boxes that Lora & I packed in my (hot Florida) garage...
...and here they are all loaded in my hubby John's jeep for him to drop off at the pick up point (thank you Johnny xoxo!).
Thank you again to everyone who helped make this such a success!
