Bunny Hop

Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home Bunny Hop! You
should have arrived here from Hambo's Talk to the Ham! If you just landed
here out of the blue, and you want to start at the beginning of the hop,
here's a link to the Stars & Stamps Blog.

Today's my sister-in-law's birthday, so I made a birthday card for her.
Happy birthday, Phyllis!! (She's an Army Mom too!)




The OWH East Coast Shipper wants me to remind you of these deadlines:
  • Easter cards: March 18
  • Mother's Day cards: March 31
(The OWH East Coast Shipper also wants me to remind you it's OK to send 
Christmas cards early. That deadline is October 31.)

If you're wondering about what kinds of cards to send to your shipper,
check this page: Current Needs. Very helpful information there!! For example,
we don't need cards that say, "Wish You Were Here!" or "You're Invited to a 
Barbecue!" Cards with these sentiments are only good for comic relief for
your shipper. Sometimes that's important.

Now that you've nearly made it to the end of the post, let's talk about
BLOG CANDY!!! Leave a comment on my blog for a chance to win this
T-Shirt. I'll use the "random integer generator" to pick a winner on Monday.

           


Your next stop on the hop is the awesome Jan!! 
You can find her post at She's Gone Stampin'!

  84. Just love these cards as I am a new initiate to the "Operation Write Home." My son just joined the Army Reserve 2 weeks ago and just got his dog tags and checking account. He ships out on July 12 and I am trying to get ready for it. This gives me something to work on in the mean time while I get used to the idea of my son in the military.

    Thanks! I'm a proud Mom of a Future Soldier.

  131. Happy birthday (belated) to Phyllis!! I think it must be a lot easier to be a military wife than an Army mom. It's one thing when it's your husband...but when it's your child???? SCARY!! My heart (along with my my utmost appreciation and respect) goes out to her.
