OWH - Christmas Blog Hop




I have had many good friends and family who have served our country.  One of my dearest friends told me while serving in Iraq one his greatest joys was getting cards from Operation Write Home (besides care packages from home) so he could send cards home.  I am happy to make cards to help our service men and women stay in touch with their families.  They miss so many milestones and if I can help a father or mother stay in touch with their children because they our serving to protect my family - making cards is the least I can do.
