As I mentioned in my post on Sunday, I am hosting a holiday card-making event for Operation Write Home. I will be doing this on October 29th, 6-8pm. If you would like to participate, please email me at scrappinheaven@yahoo.com for directions.
Please bring the following items with you: Holiday themed scrapbook paper and coordinating cardstock, trimmer, adhesive, and embellishments of your choice. I will provide holiday themed stamp sets, ink, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, and chalks for you to use on your cards.
Because this is a charity event, no fee will be charged. Snacks will be provided.
I came across an organization called Operation Write Home today on Facebook. After reading their blog, I have been inspired to make cards for this worthy cause.
Here is their mission statement:
To support our nation's armed forces by sending blank greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.
I need to iron out the details, but I plan on holding an event before the end of this month to make cards for the troops in time for the holidays. If you live in or near Ouachita Parish and would like to make cards for the troops as well, please visit my blog again on Monday. I will have the details of when/where posted here then.
I found these Holiday Card display ideas over at Better Homes & Garden's website. Aren't they gorgeous. I think the ladder display is my favorite. They have more display ideas on their site. Click here if you would like to check them out.
Just testing my new blog posting signature to see if it works. Let me know if you like it. I think the heart graphic is very pretty and feminine, but I would like your opinions as well. Please comment on this post and tell me what you think.
