A Couple of "Good Things" to talk about

I have some important things to talk about today, and I hope you will agree with me.

First off, There is a group in Michigan called Cards for Soldiers, founded by

Charly Matthews. She and her group collect and send cards to soldiers, cards that the

brave men and women in our armed forces can use to send to loved ones back home. I have a link to her page, it gives you instructions on what cards are needed, how to package and some requirements. Easy peasy, really. I am donating the cards I get in my Stampin' Up! swaps as well as some of my own to her.

My family is a military family, and I know it helps with finding cards to send back to family and loved ones, especially when they are stationed overseas.

I am sending a challenge out to all card makers, professionals and just-for-pleasure, to send these generous and kind people cards to send to our military.

Please go to her link and follow the guidelines, they are not difficult, and will do a lot to make deployment a little easier.
