What Can I Say?!

Everytime I make a blog post, I try to come up with a catchy title and this time was no simpler. What can I say, how can I express my gratitude to everyone that submitted Veteran Thank You cards to me. I received cards in the mail from Facebook friends, from my stamping ladies that come to my classes, from people that I never met before. The response was overwhelming, humbling and so appreciated. 

I had to make two more cards so that we would end up with an even number!!

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Service Essentials #167436 Online Exclusive, Still Available)

INK: Blueberry Bushel, Real Red

PAPER: Real Red Base, Garden Poetry DSP Layer, White, Smokey Slate

ACCESSORIES: Wonderful Foam Stars, Dimensionals, Service Essentials Dies

June 1st is my deadline and I will be taking the cards to my Badger Girl State contact this week. The cards will be one of the girls that attend special project. They will write notes of appreciation in each card and none will be the same. From there the cards will be sent to all of the airport hubs in Wisconsin to be handed out to the Veterans on their return from their Honor Flight.

If you want to start on next year's cards, feel free to because I will be doing this drive again. In fact, I am going to start a special file with all of the red and white DSP that I happen to have, along with embellishments.

Here are the last of the cards that I received Saturday from Roni Kaczor Smith and her friend. They are spectacular and so beautiful.

Thank you everyone, I appreciate you all, and now for the final total of Veteran Thank You cards collected. We collected 1100 cards!! What an accomplishment!

Take care everyone,

Cindy
