Hi crafty friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead. We have some amazing inspiration planned for the blog this week so I hope you’ll tune in every day to check it out. Better yet, subscribe to our blog by entering your email over on the right where it says “SUBSCRIBE TO THE TE BLOG” and you’ll get our blog updates delivered right to your inbox!

Today I have the pleasure of announcing the final results of our Share Joy campaign that ended on April 30th. If you’re new to TE or are not familiar with our Share Joy campaigns, you can learn more about them at this link.

Our latest campaign focused on providing Thinking of You cards for the Spiritual Care team at our local hospital. The goal going in to the campaign was to collect 1000 cards by April 30th from those who felt inspired to donate.

With just two weeks remaining in the campaign we were a little over half way to our goal. Did we get anxious? No way! That’s because we know that you all are the best and that when you hear about a worthy cause, you do whatever you can to help. So in the final two weeks, we collected not 400, and not 800, but over 1000 cards, pushing the total number of cards donated to 1573! Woohoo!

A snapshot of the 1500+ cards!

I am blown away by your generosity and kindness. And I know that those who will ultimately receive your cards will be touched by the love and care that went into making them. Thank you to all of you who donated! You’re the best!

Another way we want to say thank you to those who donated is to offer a prize drawing for three $20 gift certificates to the TE store. We just had our random drawing and here are the winners:

Roxanna H. – California

Suzanne A. – Illinois

Toni R. – Arizona

Congratulations! We will send you an email soon with your gift certificate.

And once again, thank you to all who participated in our latest Share Joy campaign. Hundreds of people will experience comfort, encouragement, and hope because of the time and attention you put into creating these cards.

Thanks for tuning in today and have an amazing week!
