Operation Write Home

Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by today. We have a special post and challenge -- we've teamed with Operation Write Home!


About OWH!
Operation Write Home began in 2007 with just a few cards made by friends on a message board; what began as an outlet for a hobby has become a much larger mission to help heroes keep in touch with home - and the effort has been joined by thousands of cardmakers!

OWH receives handmade cards donated by crafters across America (and beyond!). Cardmakers range in age, location, and level of skill; cards are provided by individuals and groups, schools and scouts, companies and churches. All have one primary thing in common: a desire to serve those who defend our nation!

Cards are mailed to one of our volunteer shippers in quanities both small and large. The shippers process, sort, repair, and document each donation, and then pack and ship boxes of over 300 cards each to our contacts. Our heroes request cards (families may also request on their behalf; we serve all branches in all deployed locations.

Make It!
Create a card using the sketch below, which adheres to the OWH general rules found HERE. Enter your card via Mr. Linky below by September 30th at Midnight, PST.


Ship It!
Send your card to one of the OWH shipper addresses listed HERE.


The Prize!
A SRM Prize Package of NEW SRM Stickers, released at CHA Chicago. Challenge winner will be announced and featured here at the SRM Stickers Blog on Monday, October 4th.

Cosmo Cricket Feature, TOGETHERNESS

Welcome to another SRM Stickers/Cosmo Cricket Feature! For the next two days I'll be loading our daily posts with gobs of Cosmo projects using SRM Stickers. Today we're starting off with the new "Togetherness" collection. We all *loved* this collection and were thrilled to be able to mix it up with our new SRM Stickers.



Sit back and enjoy -- and be sure to read the end of this post for the skinny on WINNING Cosmo Cricket and SRM Stickers Prize Packages! I couldn't even begin to fit all the detailed pics and extra Togetherness projects our Team created for this event into this post, so , if you like what you see, click on the Designer's name to be taken to their blogs for even MORE!

***********

Jenyfur and Tania both had pinwheels in mind when working with Togetherness. In fact, you'll find a fantastic pinwheel tutorial on Tania's Blog, go check it out!
