In conjunction with our Scrapping For Soldiers crops, we've been making blank greeting cards to send to deployed Soldiers so they have cards to send to family & friends.

Thanks to you, we have reached our goal of 5,000 cards and still counting!!!!  Of course, we can’t stop there!

Create some blank greeting cards--Birthday, thank you, thinking of you, anniversary...anything!!!

If you don't have time to make cards you can make a cash donation that we can use to defray the postage costs for sending the packages overseas. (It costs $11.95 to send each flat rate box.)

There are no Hallmark stores in Iraq or Afghanistan so these cards are really appreciated by our Soldiers!

We recently received an email from L. Powell in Iraq about our cards:

“The handmade cards are a BIG hit out here! One of the fire-fighters has a wife at home and she's expecting a little girl any day now. He was a little "down" on Monday. I have a card (from Afghanistan) and it's a "WELCOME HOME BABY" card so I showed it to him and told him we would all sign it and send it to his wife once the little one arrives. He couldn't believe it... He asked where in the world did I get the card!!?? I told him it traveled millions of miles from the USA to Afghanistan and then to Iraq... Just for his new baby. You should have seen the look on his face!

This is what it's all about. You have no idea how many hearts you touch when you are crafting these mini works of art. The love you put into making the cards, then the love we put inside of the cards when we write ... To our families back in the USA these are the things they will remember for a life-time.”

When I received this email, I immediately started making more cards. It was such a motivation to me and I hope it will be to you.

Whether you can send one card or one hundred cards, this is a great opportunity to help our soldiers! We'll be anxiously watching the mail for your cards to arrive!!!!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for supporting our soldiers!
