Operation Write Home Blog Hop!

Welcome to my blog and my stop for the the Operation Write Home Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop!!!!



You should have arrived here from Louise's blog, Trinity Paper Arts, but if not, or if you're lost, OR if you'd rather start at the beginning of the hop just click up there. I think we've got ya ALL covered. :)

Operation Write Home is a wonderful organization that sends blank handmade cards for our servicemen AND women who are deployed far from home to write and send back home on...what a gift! Please check out their website for a way that you can give by donating your own gift of talent or a monetary donation (if feasible).

Here's my contribution to this year's hop:



On Memorial Day (or the weekend prior, as the case may be) it's important to know that this day is not just about BBQ's and the day off, but the sacrifices that our military make on our behalf each and every day. We live in a home of the free, because of the brave.

Now, please,  hop on over to your next stop... The wonderfully talented DIANE at Stampin Ldyglfr62  (click to be taken to her blog!) you'll loooove what she made!


HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!! Smiley from millan.net


PS - I'll post again on Monday with the supplies I used .  Just in case anyone is interested in knowing what paper I used, stamp set, etc. :) - Future date added so blog stays on top for a few days...not to confuse you. ;)



All my best,

Delightful! That ribbon is so soft - and I like that its mostly red and white with just a little blue, for a really feminine patriotic card. Beautiful!
