Well, the Red Cross has disappointed again. We got a call yesterday that they had opened a shelter for the local flooding victims and needed volunteers to man the shelter. We told them we could work it from 1-7 today since I had a meeting this morning. The shelter was set up in north Charlotte and when Sonny and I arrived, there was no one there. And I don't mean no clients, but no workers ... no one! I called the Lake Norman office to see what was going on and was told they had closed the shelter at noon. Didn't we get a call? NO!! Sonny and I both have cell phones and had them turned on but nothing and when we arrived home, there was no message waiting for us there either. You know that old adage, three strikes and you're out? Well, we're OUT! Every time we've worked a shelter, there has either been no one needing our services or one person. It would make much more sense to put one person in a hotel rather than all the manpower necessary to set up a shelter!
OK - on to other things. I made a Mothers Day card for the Paper Craft Crew challenge using MDS. I love using this trick with ribbon. I used the grosgrain ribbon bow and cropped it so I just had one loop; copy, paste and voila, two loops. It's a pretty simple card but I think I will be printing this one out for my mom for Mother's Day. Now I just have to find a gift for her.
Make sure you visit the
Paper Craft Crew Blog site and check out what the other members have done with the sketch. And while you're at it, make your own card using the sketch.
