SPECIAL EVENT CARDS - CREATED BY THE "NOOK AND GRANNIES"


Sometimes we refer to ourselves as the "Nook and Grannies". A lovely teen who came to the Nook with her Mom came up with that reference!  (Hmmmm why am I suddenly hungry for a Thomas English muffin?!?

I desire for the Nook to touch a lot of lives. I encourage the ladies to continually invite new ladies to the Nook. I don't want us to be "ingrown" but to reach out to others.  

Another way that we reach out to others is to send cards for special events or needs.

The birthday cards below were created by ladies in the Nook and sent to Jacob Abedini when his father, Pastor Saeed Abedini, was in prison in Iran for over 3 years. They were sent to Jacob to cheer him up on his 7th birthday. 













Perhaps you heard about a young girl in Schenectady, NY who lost her family
in a home fire. Her one wish was to receive lots of Christmas cards.  The ladies in the Nook
created the following cards and sent them to her. 




The card above and below is the same card (exterior and interior) 
and it was sent with the other cards we created so that the 
little girl could see what we looked like! 






This is a close up of the card. (above)



These are the cards we sent!



LASTING HEARTS

Lasting Hearts is here to help comfort mothers who have lost 
a piece of their heart.  Losing a child, whether in pregnancy 
or older, can be one of the hardest pains a parent can endure. 
Cards are sent to accompany a book that is given to the parent(s). 
See more at the link below.

We also created these cards. Check the link below to learn more about them.
