You're Tweet! Thanks! Operation Write Home Blog Hop

 

You're Tweet!  Thanks so much!

Hello!  You're tweet! Thanks for hopping by this weekend for the 

Operation Write Home 

Memorial Weekend Blog Hop.

Today while at the airport, I witnessed a total stranger walk up to a man in uniform and thank him for his service to our country.  I felt privileged to have seen the touching exchange.  I love those who serve in the military.  My grandfather served in World War 2, my brother served (also in Deseret Storm) and retired from the Army, and my sister served in the Air Force.  So I have a soft spot for our service men and women. 

Everyone has their own way of supporting and thanking those who serve our great country.  I think Operation Write Home's program is an amazing way to thank AND help lift the spirits of those who serve and their families with the creative cards that are lovingly made.   Here's link to Operation Write Home's Memorial Weekend Blog Hop to see all the talented people, click HERE to see all the  cards!

I tweaked/flipped the sketch just a little.  :)

Dustin Pike aka Doodle Dragon Studios is also playing in the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  So if you like the cute birdie on this card (from the DDS Woodland Set) or the other awesome images on my blog, be sure to go visit the great and talented Doodle Dragon Studios. Rumor is Dustin will be having FREEBIES this weekend and a special sale!  You don't want to miss it! 

Have a happy & safe Memorial Day Weekend!  Thanks for hopping by!

Anything Goes Challenge! Go BLUE!

 

Our challenge this week over on Doodle Dragon Studios is ANYTHING GOES!  Well, GO BLUE! 

April is Autism Awareness Month.  One of our Small Groups teachers (Autistic class) is working on her Masters and will be leaving our school.  She has worked here since it opened 16 years ago.  I am super excited for her new adventure, but sad to see her go.  I decided to make this card for every one to sign to let her know she is loved and appreciated.

Your turn!  Make a card for ANYTHING and post it to our challenge by Sunday, April 21st.

Supplies:

Wintery Thank You Challenge

I have to admit this challenge wasn't much of a stretch.  I have over 9" of snow in my yard and it's been in the single digits all week with another week to go.  I feel like I'm living in Winter Wonderland!  Friday, when I drove my daughter to school it was -4.  Burrrrr.  I think it's time for a road trip (or plane trip) somewhere sunny and warm!

Cold weather is always more enjoyable with people.  So join in the fun and play in the Doodle Dragon Studios "Wintery Thank You" challenge!  Light the fire, get some hot chocolate and craft away in your fuzzy slippers. Then post your chilly project to the challenge before Sunday, January 13th.

Bundle up & stay warm!

Thanks a BUNCH!

Need a simple thank you? It's the new year and it seems everyone is on a "eat good" program, so "thank you" brownies are not very supportive. Here's the solution... bananas! "Thanks a BUNCH!"
