Operation Write Home: Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop
Operation Write Home is a non-profit organization that supports the U.S. Armed Forces by making blank greeting cards for the troops, which they can use to send notes to their loved ones.
We admire the effort so four members of the Technique Tuesday team (Chris, Michelle, Bev and Teri) took some time out of the work day this week to some make cards for the cause! In a little over an hour, the four of them were able to make 14 (!!!!!) cards!
Go, team!
And here's a close-up peek at some of those cards.

We can't wait to send these in! We sure hope the troops will enjoy them.
Before we go, we have a special offer in honor of the Operation Write Home Blog Hop. Spend $9.99 or more on TechniqueTuesday.com (before shipping), and we'll give you our USA Seal stamp set for free. Just type the words Write Home in the Comments field at check-out.
This offer is good through the end of the day on Monday, May 27th.
Happy hopping!
Ps... Don't forget to check out the rest of the hop! You can find links to everyone taking part right here!

I wasn't sure where to leave a comment for the OWH on your Blog Hop so I chose this comment section...This is a wonderful thing everyone is doing...making cards for our troops. Certainly they can not get crafty while they are so far from home and I would imagine that many of them would much rather be at home with their papers and inks and craft tools than to be in their military fatigues, missing their families, and so far from home. God Bless America and God Bless our Troops.

I love them all! But if I had to pick a favorite it would be the silhouette one with the flowers and grasses against the orange background. Somehow that is so cheery!
