If you arrived from Dixie, What's Next? you are in the right place! Today you will find a whole lot of amazing card makers and be sure to leave them a little love... when you leave a comment today from Saturday - Sunday at 11:59 pm on Sunday I will be creating one (1) card for OWH! PLUS I will be selecting one random comment to receive this YUU--UUU--MMYY blog candy!!
In March I was introduced to Operation Write Home and fell in love with what they are all about. I love making cards and often have cards that I do not know what to do with. I now have a purpose for those cards I create and I don't send. I love that I can use my creativity and be able to send it to others that greatly appreciate it. I am a granddaughter of a retired Naval Officer and a wife to an Airforce Veteran and want to express my grattitude to not only family, but also all of those that have served, are serving, and will serve our great country. Know that you are missed and appreciated! Every day in my mind, I think about those who sacrafice their time serving to protect our country. Everyday in my heart, I would like to thank those who have sacraficed their lives for it.
Now it's on to Gale, GEL-Oh for the rest of the fun!
If you get lost somewhere along the day you can always go back to the beginning OWH

I feel the same way about OWH. I started when my husband was deployed both to keep me busy and so that my husband had what he needed. I can't say enough to everyone what it means to both send and receive cards when they are so far away. Keep up the awesome work.
Cute card! Love that striped paper!
Wonderful card- I always love vintage-look red, white and blue.

Hi Kristy Sweetie...
I am Country Wings your newest follower. I love the card that you made for the OWH. It is so beautiful. I love the mixture of the stripes with the floral, and the large letters MISS U. The stars are the element of surprise. Love it. I thank you for the inspiration that you have given me to give it a try and make a few cards to send to the soldiers. I have never made one, but being confined to the house with my lungs for a month, I have been wanting to do a craft that I can do from the recliner. I think I have found it. I am so excited. I will be searching the house tomorrow for a few things to make cards with. Surely I have something that will work.
Love your eye candy give away. I will cross my fingers on this one. Love it. Any one of us will be so lucky to win this gift of love.
Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Gonna copy the Miss U Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for sharing your dedication and hard work. Your cards are beautiful.
Perfect card for our event this weekend. Thanks for participating with OWH.

Love your card, especially the layered stars.

Well done...VERY well done with the card!
What a fabulous creation in honor of those that protect us. My husband is a vietnam veteran and he says he wished that the OWH program would have been in place back then as there's nothing better than a card from home. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us!
Your card is definitely in my CASE file. I love it and it screams AMERICA to me. Your words are also dead on and thanks for those as well.
Very cute! I like the pearls on the "u" and the stars. :) Thanks for the chance at the candy, and thanks for sharing!
