OWH BLOG SKIP

Welcome to Operation Write Home’s Stars and Stamps Blog Skip!  Since I have some of the Stamper’s Best OWH Fundraiser Stamps, Sandy asked me to make a card for the skip (yeah)!  I chose the True Soldier Rubber Stamp OWH Fundraiser Stamp for my card.

Stamper’s Best’s red rubber stamps specifically support Operation Write Home.  StampersBest.com is a proud partner and supporter of OWH.  They feature selected deep etch rubber art stamps made especially to assist the fundraising efforts of OWH and donate $1 to Operation Write Home for each stamp sold that is designated with the OWH logo icon.  Not only do they support my favorite organization, I love the quality of their stamps! Click the link below to see these wonderful stamps.
For those who may not know about Operation Write Home, they are an organization made up of thousands of card makers who care about our military, and want to support them through creativity and encouragement. We support our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.

    Thank you all for the sweet comments. The flag is not a pin. It is one I printed and cut out, but I did add a pearl at the top of the staff. Still having fun with our son. See y'all next week.
