From Our Hearts launched a blog today, if you follow any blogs, you should follow this one Martie Shea is the nicest stamper, she sent a package of hand-stamped cards to her son who was deployed with a branch of the military. He loved them and shared them with his fellow members. So Martie asked her stamping friends to help her with creating cards to send. This has snowballed in the best possible way, and Martie has packaged thousands of cards to send to Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations where our military is serving.
Since today is Memorial Day, please keep these defenders of our freedom at the forefront of your mind. Say a prayer for their safety, regardless of your feelings about our involvement. And when you have an overabundance of cards, supplies or are looking for a good place to make a financial donation, remember this organization. . . they have grown from a grassroots movement to a fully recognized 501-C charitable organization.
The card shown today was designed by Susan for our Shoebox Swap. Susan is on the board of directors for From Our Hearts and she accepted a gigantic box of cards from the participants of the Swap, to take back to Martie and to be sent to our military members.
