We Love Our Hero's Blog Hop

Today is Armed Forces Day, so again, this is a hop to support and bring awareness to the works of Operation Write Home . You should have arrived from Anita's Blog, Crafts From Miracles Table if not please start back at our talented and wonderful hostess, Misty's blog, so you don’t miss anything this wonderful group has to offer. In addition to card makers making cards for service persons to send home to their families, OWH has what they call ‘Hero Mail’. These cards can be any size; not just the usual required A2. They also include a personal note to ‘Any Hero’. We call them Hero’s, because OWH covers all branches of service. These are passed out to  deployed hero’s, who might not get much mail, or just passed around to enjoy news from home.  Here is more info.

Thank you to All of our Heros, past , present and those who serve on the Home front as well! My hero's are my husband, retired Army and my stepson who served in 2 wars with the US Marine Corp. and is now in his 3rd year in Afghanistan serving as a civilian with the State Department. So very proud of you two!

My card is a twisted easel card. I  have seen this style but this is the first time I've attempted it. I like the effect !
