As you might remember, I made these cookies for the troops back in September with Operation Baking Girls. Well, Stephanie got a thank you from our solider and she posted the card here.  You know, it makes me feel good to do nice stuff like this for people and a thank you isn’t necessary. But it especially makes me feel good when the nice stuff I do is appreciated.

On another note, Geeta organized a get-together tonight to make cards for the troops for Operation Hero Mail. While chatting with friends Lori, Veronica, Michelle, Edye, Amy, and Geeta, I made 15 cards to be sent to the troops. See the cards I made below. Aren’t they fun?

Cards for the Troops

Jen del Muro’s blog, i {heart} 2 stamp, is one of the blogs I enjoy reading. I especially like her Saturday Sketch For You To Try. She is doing a major blog candy giveaway. To enter all you have to do is send a card to the International Student Services Department of Dallas Baptist University. You can send cards too. See below address.

Students from over 50 countries then can use these cards to send birthday wishes or hellos to family back home. So last week at Lori’s, I made a birthday card (the second card I talked about in my last post) that I will be sending, along with a few others from my card stash. This card is 4.5 x 4.25.

Well, I did it. I chopped off 12 inches of my hair. It’s for a good cause Wigs for Kids. It’ll grow back. I hope it grows fast, because I’m not sure I like it this short. I haven’t had it this short since I was a sophomore in high school. See for yourself.
