Welcome to the OWH Spring Break Bloghop!!!!! You should have arrived here from Megan's blog. If you need to go back to the beginning of the hop go here.
Thank you for being a part of this Bloghop. Operation Write Home does a fabulous job for our armed service men and women (and their families) by providing handmade cards for them to write home to loved ones and also for sending "hero cards" for those service men and women who may need an extra boost or for someone who may not get much mail from home. We can use your help in making cards to send or for donations to help pay for expenses associated with sending cards to our soldiers. Children are also encouraged to make/send cards for our heroes. Operation Write Home has some guidelines for children's cards posted on their website.
I (and my company Cut n Paste Memories) have been involved with Operation Write Home for several years. We have sponsored several card-making workshops and hope to sponsor several more this year.
My baby brother Lewis J. Snow just returned from a second deployment to Iraq this past week. We are grateful that he was there for us - and VERY HAPPY that he is once again home!
Please take some time to make some cards or donate funds to help support Operation Write Home!
