In Honor of Our Veterans!

O happy day...It's another blog hop hosted by Operation Write Home to honor our Veteran's! Operation Write Home is a great organization that supports our nation’s armed forces by sending blank greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them. It's a great way to bless our service personnel for serving so selflessly for us.
Here's the link to the beginning of the hop in case you missed it. Have fun!
Now, continue on with the hop and check out the great cards by Celeste!

My youngest "Any Hero" card maker showing his lovely creations. Funny how kids are so happy with a glue stick and paper!

In addition to "hopping" today, I wanted to document one of my heroes...my dad. My dad served in the Army Air Corp for just 3 years in Las Vegas, NV. He never saw "action", but he is still a hero in my book. My dad passed away in 1997. He was a courageous and strong man with a huge amount of perseverance. Honoring you, dad, on Veteran's day!

  16. This is such a heartening venture. Here in Canada, the painting guild I belong to also creates and sends cards for our troops. They range from painted, thru to stamped and embossed cards in every style imaginable and are received with great appreciation. It's such a little thing we can do for our heroes!

  31. Great pictures and great blog! Love your old pics, too! I'm a bit of a nostalgic sentimentalist, too! Great cards - and since I'm on the hop, too, it's like we are neighbors!!! BTW, I am wondering where you got the Mrs. Incredible Avatar/Pic under your profile? I have totally related to her since the moment we saw the movie with my kiddies! Can you send me a link? Thanks for sharing your cards!!!
