I recently sent my first package of cards to Operation Write Home (OWH). I love what they are doing to keep our troops and their families in touch. If you haven't heard of their program, please check out their site at http://operationwritehome.org/.
Coming from a military family, I'm very familiar with the letters written home when my dad was in the field. I still have them close at hand in a memory box. They were the best of letters (back when snail mail was the it-thing). Now that my dad has passed away, they are even more precious to me.
And it's important to me to continue to support our troops anyway that I can. It's like Memorial Day everyday.
Since I have to work this 3-day weekend, I'm only approaching simple projects with gusto. I made a couple of wedding cards last night for more beautiful events to come. I made this card below with one of the sketches at OWH. I love their sketches because it takes the burden off design and I can make cards quickly for my next package.
Have a great long weekend. Please remember to thank a Veteran or Active Duty member if you know or passby someone.
