Got my 30 cards for September finished!

I finished up my 30 cards PLUS 6 "any hero" cards last night, and have them ready to mail out Monday morning....
BUT...
I forgot to scan them, besides the first 6!  Oh well....  I did 1 Thank You; 2 Thinking of you; 2 Miss you: 6 Birthday; and 19 Blank inside....
I probably won't do any more  until after the first of the year now.... I have to get ready for a craft fair in November PLUS I make most of my Christmas gifts, so need to get busy on that stuff soon....
I do plan to start again with the new year, though... this is a fantastic organization and I feel so privileged to be able to be a part of it!
Until 2011 then....
Have a Cafty Day!

Any Hero Cards

These are cards I made for them to give out to "any hero", which is any soldier  where ever they might be giving out the OWH cards.  I wrote a note inside telling them how proud I am of them and thanking them for being a hero and serving our country and that I was praying for them....

OWH.... Operation Write Home... this is an organization that accepts homemade cards and sends them to the soldiers overseas so that they can use the cards to send to their family & friends backhome.... what a great idea! I am so excited to be a part of this! This is some of the cards I've made... I plan to have a big box ready to send off on September 3rd....
