OWH Cardmaking Party - Sunday, March 11, 2012

Thanks to Ladies: Susan & her mom, Karen, Janet, Sandra, Kathy, Joanie, Carla, Tricia, Patricia, Beckie, Janice and Diana for coming to OWH Cardmaking Party on Sunday, March 11, 2012 and making cards for the Troops.  Great thanks to Beckie for making 40 miles driving for a round trip from Stockton.

We have 412 cards completed including the cards from February party. While I was gone away in February, Karen led the group and I am so thankful for her. Thanks for welcoming me back home!  I missed you, Ladies!

In addition to our cards, we also received a beautiful collection of cards donated by Janice Rock via Carla. Thanks to Janice for her generosity.

It was such a wonderful day as always.  I took photos to share by grouping of the theme: Happy Mother's Day, Love, Thinking of you & Miss you, Happy Birthday, Thank you and General. 

Thanks to Joanie, Tricia, Seongsook and Carla for bringing tasty snacks.  Thanks for shipping cost donation, too.  Janice brought a paper trimmer for donation from her friend so I landed it to Tricia with an assignment for paper cutting.  Oh, how much I feel blessed by your support, love, friendship and hugs.

When I read a Hero Message at Hero Blog as I included below, I was so touched. As we make cards, we are so blessed and we bless our Troops by sending our handmade cards fort them to write back home wherever they are being away from their loved ones.   I hope you enjoy it.

Something special about a card or letter Posted: 09 Mar 2012 07:42 AM PST My Name is Sergeant Major L.S. and I am writing this e-mail to express my sincere thanks to all those responsible for Operation Write Home. I had only been in Afghanistan for a few days when I realized if I did not send a card or something to my wife and my daughter for Valentines day it would be late. I went to the little PX we have here to purchase a card or something and nothing - that's when one of my Soldiers produced a box full of cards some of which looked homemade. I selected my cards sent them off for free and though I missed the suspense by a couple days my wife and daughter loved them. I know we have e-mail, twitter and facebook but there is something special about a card or letter even if it's just a quick note inside. My wife has saved every letter and card I have ever sent while on deployment. So thanks again - what all of you are doing makes a big difference. Very Respectfully Sergeant Major L.S.

Back to blog...

I've been away and almost missed the whole month of blogging in February.  I am still suffering from jet lag after the trip to Korea for my younger daughter's wedding. 

I spent a wonderful time with my daughters and son-in-laws. Since I haven't seen them for such a long time, it was emotional and very touching trip for me.  My younger daughter was the most beautiful bride to me as the mother of bride of course. 

This is a photo of the bride and bridegroom at Korean traditional ceremony after the wedding.  I am so grateful for the wedding that has turned out so beautiful and blessed.

Here are a couple of cards to share that I made before I left for Korea.

So GRATEFUL

This is a quick and easy card to make that turned out very nicely (in my opinion!).  I love it.

Happiest Birthday

Is this masculine enough?

For the background of this card, I folded aluminum foil four times and inserted a cardstock in the middle to make it sturdy and ran it through with an embossing folder. It looks very cool in person.

This is one of cards that we started making at January OWH Cardmaking Party on Sunday. I finished assembling 12 kits of this card today during lunch time at Cafeteria. Guess what? One lady came over to see what I was doing and we found each other as OWHers.

January 2012 OWH Cardmaking Party on Sunday, 01/08/2012

I made sample cards for January 2012 OWH Cardmaking Party on Sunday, 01/08/2012. 

TIP:  Store two sets of Framelits in one clear case.  I used Magnetic Tape here.  I made the cover by using black cardstock so that it matches with the magnetic tape inside. Please click the photo to see the caption.
