Well the weekend is almost here! Does everyone have some great plans for the weekend? I will be stamping up a storm as I need to make Thanksgiving cards to send to my son-in-law’s unit as well as Operation Write Home (formerly Cards for Heros). You will be glad to know that I sent my son-in-law 61 cards (most of them were Halloween cards) and 56 cards to Operation Write Home (again most of them…
I think we are seeing the final days of summer here in Maryland. The weather the past 2 days has been in the low 80’s but a change is headed our way.

The required colors to use were Close to Cocoa, Pumpkin…
Good Morning! Have you wondered why I have been missing in action lately? Well I have been busy mass producing Halloween cards. I wanted to send some to the Cards for Heros group but I also have adopted my son-in-laws unit in Afghanistan. He said there are about 20 guys in his unit and they have a 2 mile walk to get cards so I told him I would make cards and send to him…
