Blessing our men and women in the military day!

Last nite I was blessed to make two cards at my friend and instructor with Stampin'up to use in the Mail for Heroes program. I was disapointed when I realized I didn't blog about it. I thought I did. I must have dreamt blogging about it. Isn't it aweful. But you know, I do my blogging late into the nite when the kids are all fast asleep. In fact, it's almost 1am and I can't get to bed cuz my 12 yo is still up flying (Flight simulator) and he is giving me a huge excuse to stay up (after we all woke up way late, the latest ever in our entire hs journey. Boy, will that change with dad coming home for 2 week, I miss you honey!)
Anyway, it was a totally free class and I even got to use a die-cut machine for the first time. My girls would have loved it! I made a silver looking dove and pinned it to one of the cards. I couldn't stay much longer for I was already gone the nite before. So, I had to limit myself to two cards. I was so inspired by the idea of sending cards to our military service men and women that I decided that we are going to make hand made (hand stamped) cards for an art day today-no book work!. They also had to me postmarked today! I just had to pull AAAAAAALLLLLLL my crafting supplies. They were dusting for too long. The girls had a ball. Ds whined a bit about not being a girl and having to do school instead. He was invited to make a card though. He declined. I am glad for there was no room on our kitchen table to fit another kid! The whole card making thing was a huge double blessing! I was able to get my supplies cleaned up and organized in between supervising the two youngest girls. SO, now if we have to move, that's one less thing I have to worry about. If you know me, when I move, I organize, get rid, sort and pack neatly. Well, all that takes time, if you know what I mean. Which you know. Sorting socks and clothes takes time. But to do so with everything one has in the house is like 100 times more time consuming. It was a perfect, rainy day for card making. I think the girls made a total of 8. I was able to get them all delivered to my friend who put them all together with a ton of other cards. When I got home I found the gorgeous card my dd1 made on the floor! I wish I never told her. She was in tears! But I think we can send it using a different process anyway! I have to dig out that link I remember seeing one day about sending a card to a soldier. We'll bless one brave man or woman! Be blessed, Natalie
