Safelight Spa Bags
Last week I found out that Safelight had run out of the bags we made them last summer. We did Summer Fun bags with lots of goodies and cards inside that were uplifting and encouraging. I delivered 52 bags to the shelter then, and had enough cards, cases, lipsticks and balms, sunscreen, and money left …
Treat Bags for Safelight
I am at it again, LOL!! I have too much fun with stamping and making up bags of goodies, so once again Safelight will get some fun treats, Autumn Jubilee style. I have a bunch of white lunch size bags, so easy to decorate! I got out stamps and stickers for some creative playing. This …
A Safelight Project for the Fourth of July
It seemed fitting that on the day we celebrate our Independence as a nation, the residents of the Safelight shelter might celebrate their independence in their new lives. Safelight is the name of the domestic violence shelter in our little town. This organization incorporates many services for domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims providing …

Stamping February
Stamping in this Valentine month naturally centers on hearts and love, and I am so lucky to still have my sweetheart. But, for many, Valentine's day isn't a day to celebrate, particularly those who have been betrayed by one they loved. Perhaps, though, if I could make something small and inspirational, the day might be …
Merry Christmas – a Time for Sharing
Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas, dear readers! At this time of year, it is customary to count our blessings and to share with others. Giving gifts to dear friends and family, and to those less fortunate is one of the ways that I like to find the joy in the season. Small tokens of affection …
Christmas Cards for the Shelter
Stamping Christmas cards and sending them to family and friends is fun, but this year I had another idea in mind. There is no doubt that I now have more stamping stuff than one person should have, especially with a huge stamping score at an estate sale for paper, and then a wonderful gift from …

One of their services, a …
