I made my first card for Operation Write Home tonight. The stamps I had ordered from StampersBest came in the mail this afternoon and I couldn't wait to make the card. I couldn't help but think about the soldier who will receive my card, what will he/she think of it and who will he/she send it to?
We have family in the military. My grandson was a Marine MP and did a tour in Afghanistan. Our daughter went to Kuwait during desert storm, she was a Lt. in the Army and a nurse. She recently reenlisted but into the Air Force and is now a Lt. Colonel and a nurse practitioner. Her youngest son just signed up with the Navy.
So here is my first attempt at "Giving Back".....
Recipe:

Thanks so much Sandy! Got lots of interest in OWH. The stamp group I meet with on Thursdays are excited about this in fact we worked on OWH cards last Thursday and they took some home to work on. The Mercantile store (www.themercantilestore.com) wants to do a week of having customers come in to make cards for OWH and do a small donation for OWH at the same time during the last week in May in conjunction with Memorial Day. Plus a little birdi told me we will have more than OWH in common! Yeaaa!
