It's time for an all new challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room. This week, the challenge is...Pick A Cause, Help A Cause. You pick any cause or charity, and make a card for them. It's that easy!
If you know me, then you know that I chose Operation Write Home. Love this organization! I have been making cards for OWH for a few years now. In short, OWH collects handmade cards, ships them to our troops overseas, so the troops can keep in touch with loved ones back here in the US. On a personal note...My brother is currently in Afghanistan, as a firefighter in the USAF. I submitted his info to OWH. Last week, my brother emailed me saying that he got a box of cards from OWH. It was so touching to know that after making hundreds of cards for OWH, that now my brother will be one of the many service men and women touched by OWH. Makes my heart smile! :)
Our sponsor this week is June Lanum. She provided the DT with some beautiful trinket pins and crocheted flowers. They worked perfectly on my cards! Thanks, June!
