I had grand intentions to make spring/Easter cards to send to an immediate portion of my large circle of family and friends. Considering, it is now July and you haven’t seen a spring card grace my blog with its presence, you would be correct in assuming my intention did not come to fruition.  I decided instead to make summer cards and save the spring card idea for next year. I made 14 of the following card. These were quick to come together and I made them the last time I stamped at my friend Lori’s. We’re getting together again this Sunday, so be on the lookout for a card or two Sunday evening or sometime next week.

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?
