Hi there bloggers! This is probably the most controversial post I do all year, but it is sort of a tradition that on the last day of the year, I post what I call my orphan cards. These are some of the cards that I made throughout the year that just didn't sing to me when there were done. Sometimes, I have a vision in my head of what I think they will look like and they just don't. Sometimes, the colours aren't working together for some reason. Often, I just didn't have something to work with that could have made the difference. Whatever it is, here are my Orphan cards for 2013. They never made the blog because I wasn't happy enough with them, but they need a good home, someone to love them and nurture them. So if you would like a chance to win my Orphan Cards, please leave me a comment today and I will draw a winner and post the name on Friday. I do want to say, however, that I leave for Florida on Thursday so the task of posting these out has fallen to a coworker. She may or may not be able to find every one of these cards so it may be a partial shipment this year. What do you say, do you want to be a foster parent? One more quick note before I wrap up the year. Many of you will remember that I did a demo up in Scotland this past July. I got a lovely email this week from both The Papeterie in Aberdeen and the charity called Archway that we raised money for. It seems that we not only hit the target goal of raising £5,000, but we smashed it to bits and raised over £7,000!!! That is due to both the efforts of the small staff at The Papeterie (four people) and their special money raising events, the charity card auction we did on the blog as well as all the DVD's that were sold from the demo day in July. I want to say a great big thank you for all of your help to surpass that remarkable goal! The monies raised will allow Archway to maintain the services and opportunities it provides for it's respite care. I can't thank you enough! You are an amazing bunch! All for now, Sue x

Sue, These cards are great and some certainly sing to me. I am glad so much money was raised from your trip to Scotland and you got to see some great places. I bought the DVD that they made and was certainly jealous that I was not there. Have a great trip to the States and enjoy quality time with your Mum. Here is to a healthy and prosperous New Year to you and your family and all your followers.
Hugs

I think these 'orphan' cards are great Sue. We rae our own worst critics so what we may not like, others will. Sign of a true perfectionist I think!
They each need their own blog spot in my opinion.
Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl.
Morning Sue, and all first I would like to wish one and all
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2014, Sue I'm thrilled that the Charity received £7,000 well done to all that helped achieve such a fantastic amount. Now to your so called Beautiful Orphaned Cards they are Wonderful, Beautiful, some fantastic techniques going on there, "I would be thrilled to give one of your Beautiful Cards a good home"
Whom ever is lucky to receive one I'm so pleased for you.

Hi Sue
Thank you for your inspiration over the past year. An amazing achievement to post a card (or more!) every day. I would hate to see any of your cards orphaned, so would love to foster one of them. I can offer some wall space in my tiny craft room where it would take pride of place.
Have a good trip to the States.
Happy new year to everyone!

How I wish my "orphan" cards looked like yours! Sure we all have them as I most certainly do,and it is usually these sorts of cards that take the longest time to do too! What a great amount raised for the charity. just shows what can be done when everyone pulls together. i still haven't watched all my dvd yet! Anyway Sue,thank you for some wonderful blogs and demos, have a safe journey over to Florida (wish I was going with you), and a peaceful, happy and healthy 2014. X x x
£7000! Well Done to you all.
I would be proud to be a foster parent to one of your orphan cards, it would take pride of place in my home to give me inspiration when making cards of my own.
Thanks for all of your demos and blogs throughout 2013 and here's wishing you and your family a healthy, safe and peaceful 2014.
Morning Sue just like to say well done on raising £7000. Now back to the orphan cards they are all beautiful and i would be proud to be a foster mum to anyone of them. I would just like to thank you for all your hard work you have done in 2013. I have learnt so much from you im even going to do a blog in 2014 to show what i havw learnt from you. I hope you have a good journey to th us. All the best for 2014 take care Sue xx

Congratulations on the wonderful fund raiser total! Have a safe journey home and Happy New Year. x

Would love one of your orphan cards they all look cool to me.xo
Good Morning Sue,
Firstly, many congratulations to everyone who helped to achieve the amazing total of £7,000 for Archway. You must be so delighted Sue to have been able to play such an important part in the fund raising. As for the "orphan cards" obviously I would love to be the one chosen to keep these safe for posterity's sake, but in the event that I'm not it's comforting to know that some like-minded person will be keeping these safe. I would however like to thank you for your amazing inspiration and sheer hardwork on our behalf over the past year. I know that I for one have greatly improved my cardmaking skills because of it. It only remains to say I wish you a safe journey back to Florida and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
Margaret A.
Wow - I wish my orphan cards looked as good as these - and yes I would luv to be a foster mum to anyone of these xx have a luvly New Years Eve whatever you are doing and a safe flight to Florida on Thursday xx GailT xx
Oh Sue, they are all so lovely and would give someone great pleasure in receiving them.
You have such high standards in your card making but believe me they are all stunners.
I'd like to wish you a safe journey and a happy healthy new year.
Sue.C
Hi Sue, I wish you a Happy New Year, and looking forward to the goodies you will be showing us from the CHA.
I feel sure you will be so pleased that between so few very dedicated people you have surpassed the goal by 40%.
I do hope you get to stay with your mom for a while before you bounce back to us.
Last but not least I would love to give a good home to any of your orphans but feel it would be greedy to ask to be considered as a foster mum in the same week I was picked as a winner on Sunday, so will sit this one out but I will declare myself as my wish for 2014 is to own a Sue Wilson Original.
Happy New Year to all Wilsonette's
X Ros
Who wouldn't want to be foster parent to even one of these cards,it would be an honour.Great news about the funds raised for the charity,partly through your own hard work which you carefully don't mention!Hope that you have a lovely trip out to your Mom's.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes. Sue, you are such a special person, as are those Wilsonettes that have been with you long enough to participate in helping raise funds for the charity, well done wonderful Wilsonettes, be proud of yourselves.
I almost feel greedy saying this as I was just lucky enough to win a prize a few weeks ago, but if there is a card in need of TLC, then Id love the chance to give it : )
Thank you Sue for bringing all us Wilsonettes together, and I SO look forward to spending 2014 with you all.
Have a safe journey to Florida Sue, and enjoy your time there, my joints sure could do with some of that Floridian heat at the moment.
Im really looking forward to see what you bring us in 2014 (but my bank account isn't) tuff : )
Wishing all my lovely fellow Wilsonettes an enjoyable NYE and a 2014 full of love, health, happiness and craft.
Love ya.

HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR to one and all. How about YOU adopt ME Sue?? I could help in lots of ways I'm sure. I wouldn't complain if the weather was too warm in Florida honest!! Have a lovely time and don't work too hard but when you enjoy your work as you obviously do it's not a chore. Great that the Charity did so well I too am lucky to own one of the DVD's from there. I would love to own one of the cards you are looking for a home for. Take care. Mabex

Hi Sue
Wow - why would you not post these cards? They are lovely - especially No.2 with the lacey circles.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Love, Lynne xx
Wow Sue, think all my cards would be orphans in your eyes!! These ones of yours are all simply gorgeous as always. Fantastic news about the charity but not surprising when your fantastic creations and inspirations are on hand.
Have a safe flight back to Florida on Thursday but hurry back, hope you find your mum in great health and looking as stunning as always. Happy New Year to you from Much Wenlock xxxx
Morning Sue, Great news about the Charity, well done to everyone involved. Sue, I think all of us would only be too delighted to Foster one of your beautiful Orphan cards. Happy New Year to you and your Family and safe journey. Hugs x Margaret
These cards may be orphans to you Sue but I would be as proud as punch if I'd made any one of them. Someone is going to be a very lucky lady

Wow, What an Amazing result and for such a worthwhile charity, well done. One person will be happy you are off across the pond again - my Bank Manager, oops - two people - Mr.June!!! Have a safe trip and great time with your family.

happy new year sue thank you for your great ideas i would make a great foster mum for one of your cards.
It's always interesting that we have cards that we feel have gone wrong or don't turn out how we imagined but other people love them. These are all wonderful designs Sue. What a fantastic achievement raising the £7,000 was, well done to everyone, I'm sure it was well appreciated. Enjoy your time at the CHA and I wish you and all your followers a Happy Peaceful and healthy New Year xx
Good afternoon Sue and all fellow Wilsonettes,
Firstly thank you EVERYONE that took part in raising so much money for such a worthwhile cause as Archway. You don't know just what a place like Archway does for people such as myself. Although not Archway, i have Play Alloa who gave me respite for my Autistic son. They have been there and gave me what seems nothing to others, but 3 hours on a Saturday morning, it gave me back my sanity. Even at his worse, they never barred my wee boy Rory. They gave him 1-2-1 attention that he needed, but gave him a chance to have a friend. He had never had that as none of the children would play with him. I unfortunately because of accidents and school abuse, disabled and can't walk the same, but my scooter is great, so from people like myself who needs just that wee bit extra help from one of these charities i thank each and everyone of you that helped raised such an incredible amount for such a worthy cause.
Sue, how could not love these poor wee orphans? I think they need a good home that is going to treat them nicely and they don't ask for much, just a wee space to sit and be loved.
Have a good and safe journey back to your homeland and your beloved mum. I know she has very good friends to take care of her when you are not there, but a mum never gets tired of seeing their children, even at your age. All the very best for the new year that is coming.
To all my wonderful fellow Wilsonettes i wish you all that is good and thank you for cheering me up and keeping me going. Have a great night and since i don't drink i can only raise my coffee cup to you (someone can have my share of the tipple).
Love and crafty hugs, see you next year,
Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue
Your orphan cards are beautiful, and I have a really fun room for one to reside in if lucky enough to be chosen.
Have a lovely safe journey over the pond, and I wish you and your family a very happy and healthy 2014 and the same to all our fellow crafters. I will raise a glass to you all "CHEERS".
Kind regards :-)

You are too hard on yourself Sue - aren't we always our own worst critic. I'd be pleased to have made any of these cards myself. Have a good new year.
