Welcome to the Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop. The start is Operation Write Home Blog. You will have come from Judy's blog, Creating My Style. The military holds a special place in my heart. My husband served in the Air Force for 8 years. I love being able to make cards for soldiers. It is a little way of thanking them for protecting our country.
Now, onto my projects. The local Air Museum has a big event this weekend. My family helps set up a table for people to sign cards to thank the soldiers. I left the images uncolored so the kids could color themselves.
I decorated this premade mailbox with Designer papers . This image is from Sew Many.
This is the second side. Now head on to Joy's blog, Dusty Penny. Have a great weekend!Anita
