I Feel the Love Project- October 2012

Welcome to Funky Cards


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:
Madison Womack
(IFTL) Funky Cards
P.O. Box 1203
Atascadero, CA  93423
                                Project #15


 Please share your project with everyone by linking it to my blog before you put it in the mail.  Click HERE to find the photo gallery.

  3. 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)

    Hugs and blessings!

  6. Hey Madison!!
    I´m still crafting... :-)
    There is a blog award for the feel-the-love-blog. You can grab it from my sidebar. (the green one)
    I created it to give this award to my favourite blogs. The text on it means: someone gave this to me because he really likes my blog. No tagging, no rules! Only to say how much I like your project :)

    1. 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.

  10. Madison, I want to say, "Thank You" for putting the IFTL project together and working with Randa and Danée to make Thanksgiving extra special for the residents at Surrey Place. I'm sure this will make Thanksgiving a day they won't forget.
    God Bless
