Make a medallion and Cool treats- RAK cards.

Good morning! I hope you are having a Fantastic morning!

Giving RAK cards.....

"What is a RAK card?" I hear you ask. 

That is a very good question! There was a time I didn't know either! 

RAK stands for: Random Act of Kindness.

Isn't that a nice thought? You may have been following my blog for a while, and seen the hash tag I promoted last year #frommetoyouwhenyourefeelingblue and I think the RAK card idea goes hand in hand with that thought-looking out for one another-even people we may not know personally.  

Ever seen a shop clerk, not acting like he or she normally acts? Ever met a bank teller that is a bit stressed?  What about a mum thats rushing her kids to school and looks more stressed than normal? What a lovely thing it would be to receive a card to say - "I SEE you-I hope your day gets better. x"

Kylie Bertucci, my Upline,  has started a RAK group on Facebook, designed so that we can send cards to people who we DON'T know necessarily, but who LOVE Stampin up, and also enjoy making, giving and receiving cards like we do. We receive SO many negative things in our mail boxes-its nice to receive something positive!

What to write inside-

Once you have made a card it can be difficult to figure out what to write. (that actually stresses me more than making the card!) Last year, I sent cards to past costumers, and I googled some positive happy quotes to include in the cards. I found that that really helped me to write something positive-(sometimes humorous!)and uplifting, and stopped me from having to agonise too much about what to write. It really helped heaps. 

In one of these cards I wrote- 

I hope that you are having a fabulous day-Heres a quote that brightens my day-I hope it does yours- 

 "Think of the beauty still left around you and be happy"-Anne Frank.
