Holiday card project (in memory of Delton brown)

what is the Holiday card project?the purpose of the Holiday card project is to create holiday cards for people who are hospitalized during the holiday season. The idea behind the project is to simply try to bring a little cheer to those who are undergoing hospital stay.

Exactly who receives the cards? the cards will be distributed to both U.S. and international hospitals. The cards will be delivered in person by a representative. The patients who recive the cards age in rang from children to seniors and have illness or injuries that vary from mild to terminal.

what should I write in a crad? Be as creative as you like. Just remember the degree of illnes for patients will vary, so it is important to be cheerful. some suggested greetings include, "Hope you're feeling better", "Thinking of you" , or "have a nice day". try to stay away from "Get well soon" as it might not be appropriate for all patients. Rememeber to include a message of "Happy Holidays"

Will the patients know who sent the cards? The only way a patient will know who the card is from is if you sign your name. If your card anonymously, you may.

Can i send more than one card?absolutely!However, remember that quality is better than quality sending me quality card that you put time and effort in to is batter the sending two cards that were thrown together.

Is there a specific size or medium for the card? There is no specific size for the cards. Use your best judgement. You can design and decorate cards by drawing, coloring, or patnying. You can use, construction paper, cardboard, markers, crayons, colored pencils, ribbon, ect, to make your card special you can also design your card using photoshop. In photoshop pleasa use 4x6 or 5x7 for your dimensions.
