Hello everyone! Today I’m taking a break from showing off may latest card designs to share more about me and what I’m passionate about…
As I have mentioned in the past, I am proud to be on the Board of a farm animal sanctuary located in Rougemont, North Carolina. The sanctuary is called the Blind Spot Animal Sanctuary and Rescue. Blind Spot is home to over 100 neglected and homeless farm animals. The goal of the Sanctuary is to educate, rehabilitate, raise awareness and find loving homes for these forgotten animals. One of the ways I give of my time is to create homemade Christmas cards to send to anyone who has donated over $25 in the year to the Sanctuary as a thank you for donating and supporting their work. Last year I sent out over 500 Christmas cards. This year, I have created 750 homemade cards to send out! Now you know why I post Christmas cards on my blog throughout the year…because I’m making them all year round to keep up! I will post this year’s card below. If you want a chance to get one, go online using the link HERE and make a donation right away!
What you may not know is that for the past 3 years I’ve created a calendar as part of an annual fund raiser for the Sanctuary and to get this done I have partnered up with Printing Center USA. They print everything from flyers to books and have an amazing customer service department that is always ready to help.
I am in the middle of working on our 4th calendar for 2021 and want to promote this wonderful company. As I said, we’ve create calendars that were 8-1/2” x 11” inches with saddle stitching for 3 years. The calendar started out pretty simple with just photos. Then I added stories to go along with the photos. This year I’m working to create a 12” x 12” calendar with multi-photo layouts and stories. It will be the biggest and best yet.
Each year I’ve gotten better at designing the calendar and their tools have improved year over year making it possible for me, a full-time attorney, to use what little free time I do have to create something so important. Not only that, they are one of the best deals around for fundraisers and anyone interested in designing a good quantity of calendars. We usually get at least 100 calendars but they can do much more. If you are looking for a great resource for all your printing needs and were considering creating a calendar for fundraising I encourage you to check them out! Check them out HERE!
I’ll let you know when the calendars are in and ready for purchase! In the meantime, go to Blind Spot and make a donation of $25 or more to get a Christmas card from me…tell them Cecilia sent you!!!
Here’s a sneak peek at what you could receive from me for making a donation of $25 or more!
