I love Operation Write Home!

Welcome to my blog. I love making cards for Operation Write Home. I am # 121 in the blog hop so I know you've seen many wonderful card ideas along the way. I know each card is made with love and appreciation for what our heroes are doing to keep us safe. If you started here, make sure you head back to the beginning so you don't miss a thing! There is a tremendous amount of work getting all these handmade cards to our soldiers, check out this video.

We'd love to have you join us in making cards for heroes. The OWH website will give you all the information you need to participate. Make 1 or make 100, each will be special to a soldier. Some upcoming deadlines are: March 18th - Easter cards & March 31st Mother's Day cards.

Before you head to the next blog to check out Lindsay's card, make sure you leave a comment to enter the drawing to win the USA mug rug pictured below*. It would be a great place to rest your coffee, tea or drink and snack and remember our heroes. If you become a follower on my blog, it will give you another chance at the drawing. Thanks for supporting Operation Write Home.

Next stop on the blog hop - Lindsay.

*Hand quilted, machine washable and dryable.

My DD8 is sewing and she is always creating little things: stuffed animals, purses for Barbie, scarves, pillows... I am definitely going to show her your mug rugs... I think she will love to make some of these too.

Thank you for taking the time to use your talents to bless OperationWriteHome.

The egg card is wonderful! Not sure why I haven't made any eggshaped ones, you just got my creative juices flowing :) Thanks!

Beautiful card! What great textures and I love the color palette you chose! The Mug Rug is fabulous! If I was to actually win it, I'd send it off to my grandson, a serving Marine. He grew up with Nana-made quilts and loves anything quilted. His wife is now learning that craft. It would make such a great "I love you" gift, and I could tell him all about your blog!
