Operation Write Home Fundraiser Blog Hop

A few weeks ago a request was made by NannaConnie for volunteers to take part in a fundraising blog hop for Operation Write Home. So up went my hand!

"Operation Write Home is a not-for-profit organization that collects and sends handmade greeting cards to American soldiers for their use in keeping touch with their families back home. Donating cards is a wonderful way to help keep up the soldiers and their families' morale, and to say thank you for the gift of our freedom. However, the cost to OWH of shipping all those cards can be pretty large, and right now, they need to raise $13,000 to cover holiday shipping costs."
Basically the two images you see here plus the sentiments and a whole load more are available to buy from K n K Designs and Deedee Anderson which will help to raise money for Operation Write Home. If you don't want to buy the images you can still make a donation. You can click on the little image above to be taken to where it all happens!


Both cards use Funky Hand papers plus other bits from my stash. I've used Promarkers for colouring and a little bit of glossy accents on the stars. Ribbon is from my stash (not got a clue where it came from!) and the embroidery thread on the card below is from the Scrap Store.

Right! Onto the hop! Its the same as any other blog hop - just keep going to you get back where you started from and leave each of us a comment as you pass through.

If you've arrived at me from Cleota then you are doing just fine!

After me you need to hop over to Dawn and leave her a comment too

The comment is important as Katlyn at K n K Designs is offering two digi packs as prizes - so two lucky commenter's from all the entries (if you comment on each blog its more chances of winning!) will be picked and announced on Deedee's blog on Monday!

The hop closes at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday 23 October which is around 4am on the Monday in the UK, so be quick!!!

Good luck!!
