Celebrate Memorial Day With Operation Write Home

Sometimes we want to help but we just don't know how.  Operation Write Home is an amazing organization that sends handmade cards to our troops overseas so they can send their families beautiful cards.  You can read more about them at www.operationwritehome.org.  There are several ways you can help.

1. You can send cards to them (make sure to check out the requirements before sending your cards).  
2. You can send a monetary donation.   
3. You can shop at my Etsy shop.  For every card you purchase, I will donate 2 cards to Operation Write Home. 

Also, this weekend it Operation Write Home's annual Memorial Day Blog Hop.  It starts at http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/.  Make sure to stop by and say hello!
