MOTHER'S DAY CARD DONATIONS FOR OUR
AUSSIE TROOPS
Karen Cummings last christmas collected hundreds of our handmade cards to send to our aussie troops overseas so that they could send cards home to their families at christmas. These cards reached our troops in Afganhistan, Egypt, Samolia and even our Navy.
So karen and I are sending out the call again to all you very talented card makers to ask you all to make and donate some very special mothers day cards, so that we can send them to our troops to post home to their mums for mothers day.
If we all set aside 15mins a week to make 1 card each week, each of us could possibly donate 8 cards each, what a mamoth amount that would be. At the latest we can accept your donations are April 1st so that we can get them to where they need to go. Again this year karen will be collecting Christmas cards, so if you have any left over that you could spare to kick this years collections off would be also greatly received. I will post more about christmas cards for the troops later on in the year. If everyone could either put a post on their blogs, or get a group together to make and or collect some to assist would be a great help. Any and all help will be greatfully received. Please contact me for postage details
Hi Tracey, what a terrific idea ... I have been watching the US demo's doing this for their troops overseas and wondered if someone here was doing it too ... thank you so much for taking up the initiative, a truly marvelous gesture. I would love to donate some Mothers Day cards .... my email is: tuinathan@optusnet.com.au.
