Welcome to the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps Spring Blog Hop! If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop go to http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/ OWH is a great organization that sends home made cards to our US Military that is serving overseas in remote locations that have no other access to cards to send home. Being a Veteran I know how limited certain things can be when deployed so I love that I can create and thus fill their void. In the last couple months of 2009 I sent in over 200 cards. So far this year I am just over 100 with my goal for the year being 400 - so I am well on my way. Please join our crusade - the next card deadline is for Mother's Day card are due to an OWH shipper by April 1st . . . check out the OWH website or on facebook to get all the latest and greatest updates on all the goings on.
Being that this is my first blog hop and I hope you I "do it" right and you enjoy the cards I have included. Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to leave your comments.
Please continue along this hop by visiting Joy at http://dustypenny.blogspot.com/
