HOPE is in the cards

My friend Lynn sent me this link today and I loved it so much, I thought I'd share it here. THe idea is to send a card of encouragement, just because. Positive energy through the mailbox sort of thing.

This post is originally from Jenn Mason from EveryDayArtistStudio.com. Enjoy!

"We have a fantastic week planned for you full of HOPE and fun and Give-Aways and HOPE! and did I mention HOPE?

This week we’re working with Hope is in the Cards to celebrate a Week of HOPE!

(from the Hope is in the Cards site)

Retailers across America are coming together to bring HOPE to our country, one card or letter at a time. Many of these companies are giving away free postage with any greeting card you buy at their store that week.

Some are including free HOPE cards with any on-line order. And some are even giving away HOPE cards AND postage! It’s a collective effort to put one positive, real card or letter into the hands of each American – 300 million positive messages in all!

Please, support these businesses and the HOPE movement. Send a note of thanks or encouragement to someone you know the week of September 1st to 7th. What a great way to celebrate Labor Day!

Here’s how to Make Hope Happen

It’s easy to take part in the HOPE IS IN THE CARDS campaign.

Send a card of thanks or encouragement.
Write and mail a real card, today. Send it to a friend, a family member, or anyone who might need a little lift in their life.
You can buy a card from any card shop or retailer in America. You can also view a list of retailers who support the Hope Is In The Cards campaign.
Make your own card or buy one online.
Write or stamp HOPE on the back of every envelope you mail.

Participate in a HOPE event.
For other ways to spread HOPE, check out our Friends of Hope.

So, break out those stamps, and send a card today, or every day! We’ll be spending the week encouraging you to do so with Bookshelf blogs on mail art, card making and letter writing. We’ll also have some free HOPE clip art on Back to school Tuesday, some celebrity blogging from card industry celebs, a give-away from Photostamps.com on Thursday and MORE!

So make sure to come back every day this week to help us spread the HOPE. Share this on facebook and spread the word on twitter too. We need everyone to do their part and send a card of HOPE today and all week! (and all year!)"

Peace, love, and glitter!
