Welcome to Funky Cards
I Feel the Love Project October 2012
Quality of life statement taken from the Surrey Place Care Center webite: "Our Quality of Life mission is to provide all our residents with multi-dimensional activities. This can mean designing programs to meet the needs for our short-term rehab residents, who are independent and cognitively intact. It also entails designing programs for our cognitively impaired residents or our bed bound residents. Just as in everyone’s lives, our needs, talents and interests are different.
We must try to individualize our activities to meet the needs or all in our facility. We also want to ensure group socialization for their benefit. It is important to acknowledge that we must strive to make the entire facility a joyful place for the staff. The whole mission will be met if the entire staff is fully engaged with the residents and everyone is aiming for the same goal… the well being or our residents, mind, body and spirit."
The I Feel the Love Project will be making Thanksgiving Cards during the month of October to be given to the residents of Surrey Place Care Center during November for Thanksgiving. We believe that delivering handcrafted cards at a major holiday such as Thanksgiving promotes the well being of the "mind, body, and spirit" of the residents at Surrey Place Care. I can't wait to make cards for the elderly this month knowing that it may be the only card that they receive for this holiday. Do you want to be a part of this experience? Please join us this month!
All you need to do is:
Submit your card/s by October 31st to:

My dear Madison, I just posted a card today that I made yesterday.. mere hours before you posted this. It's extremely rare I create a card without an intended recipient, but I was so strongly compelled to make an Autumny card of Thanks a wee bit before the holiday. Imagine my surprise when I saw your post! I believe with all of my heart that my card was created for one of these beautiful residents. Thank you for a mission that inspires my heart even before I know it. :o)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings!
Hi Madison! So glad I am back in bloggie world cause I would have been sad to miss out on this. What a wonderful idea and I am so in on this. I will get my card made this weekend to post and get it out in the mail to you. You gave me the idea to make a special card for the lady that my Mother cares for too. TFS. :) ~Tami

Thanks Madison for scanning the cards for me. I didn't take individual pictures of them like I did last month. The cards should be soon there as it has been awhile since I mailed them to you.
DeleteWe, my daughter Justice and I, have made 22, and they shipped out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWOW! These are amazing!!! Thank you so much:) I can't wait to see them in person. As you already know, you two are such a blessing to the I Feel the Love Project!!
