02/21/2010 Open Mike Monday (OMM)

Oh, what a lazy, lazy Monday. . .Don't you just love three-day holiday weekends? God bless George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. . .;) 

Question: What do you do with all of the projects that you make?

Amy: I always try to keep certain people in mind when I make a card with plans to give them to that person.  I too am guilty or some hoarding.  Some you are just especially proud of and want to save it for the perfect situation.  I have sold some and I pretty much give my Mom any that she wants.  I want the person I give it to be appreciative of it.

Cammy: Um, stack them up in piles.... yeah, I need a better solution. LOL!

Catherine: I send packs of them to friends and family for them to send and of course I send them for birthdays and special occasions...

Jackie: Most ABCs I won't create without someone in mind, otherwise I know that they sit around until I remember about them. I have set up booths before at craft fairs and been able to sell them. Otherwise I have a tendency to hoard everything I like, which seems to accumulate quickly.

Jami: I would donate to Soldiers (they are all near and dear to me!) but I use too many flowers, bulky embellies, and glitter...... so most of mine are found hiding in boxes in my craft room....anyone want some?

Jenny: I give my cards to family and friends for special occasions. My mother and mother-in-law buy the rest from me. I spend the money on more craft supplies (Copics or Nesties)

Joy: I sell them at work and give them away as sets/gifts for birthdays, etc. (But I still have a ton left over, lol!)

Lola: I try to send as many out to friends and family as possible.  Some I give away as sets.  I also sell a few here and there.  Then there are the ones I have trouble letting go of!!

Michele: I usually just send cards to my friends, and for Christmas I make little bundles of 10 and use them as a stocking stuffer.

Min: I'll hoard a few for special people in our family. But usually I give them away - either to friends & family, donate them to the Veterans Hospital locally, Soldiers Angels or Operation Write Home. Sometimes if I hear of people that are going through a rough patch and need the support, I'll send cards to them too. You would be AMAZED at what a can do for the SPIRIT! :)

Peggy: I sell them in a little store by my Mom's place or I give them away.


Rae Anne:  I hoard all of the projects that I make using Bugaboo Stamps. . .;)

Sandye: I send lots to groups who send to soldiers to use to write home.  Liz gives cards as gifts to many of her friends. I still have soooooo many!!!!!

Scrappy: I use the ones I need, hoard a few for later use, and have sold some of them. I donate the majority of them to Operation Write Home, Send a Smile 4 Kids, or take them to a nursing home or the Duke Cancer Center.

Stephanie: I give a lot away, send out lots and sell some.


Tammy A+: I sell a few...give a few to family & friends  but the majority I donate to Operation Write Home.

Off you go now to Bugaboo Stamps' challenge blog, Catch the Bug, for the absolutely fabulous projects that Jackie, Jami, and Scrappy made for ABC Monday.
