memdaybloghop_2014

Hello Friends, Welcome to Operation Write Home Blog Hop! Sandy the founder or Operation Write Home has written a beautiful post about Memorial Day … not only is she a beautiful writer but, an incredible person and an amazing crafter to boot. I wouldn’t even begin to guess how many boxes she has shipped to our service members that protect and serve on a daily basis.

Today’s card is a big THANK YOU to all of those amazing people that serve and their families! Thanks really doesn’t tap my gratitude but it worked on the card. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Kathy
