Twenty-five years ago, when Shelli Gardner started Stampin'UP!, she had a vision for a company that truly makes a difference in people's lives. Stamping can certainly be theraputic for us. As stampers we have fun stamping and the joy we give others when we share our work as well as the personal boost to an ego here and there when our work is praised by others. Strengthening our personal relationships and developing our creativity were certainly part of the plan. But Shelli's vision was larger than that.
For over 10 years now, Stampin'UP! has been a National Sponsor of the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Each year there is a special stamp set designated as the RMHC Stamp Set and a portion of the sales of that set are donated to RMHC.
This years Ronald McDonald House set is called Moving Forward. The name has sort of a double meaning. All the images are of things that move: a bird, a frog, a bicycle, a blimp and a boat. OK, the flowers only move in the wind. But hey, there's an image that you could use for the wind ;)
Taken a different way though, "Moving Forward" could be a reference to the turmoil in the lives of the guests who stay at the Ronald McDonald Houses and the work they must do to "Move Forward" in their lives. I've visited our local Ronald McDonald house and I've seen some of the children who stay there. The houses do such good work, they are truly a blessing in the lives of so many families.
