Happy Birthday America!

I am a proud wife of a 23 year USAF retired SMSGT, so every patriotic holiday is a big deal to us. My husband served all over the world during his 23 years, lots of them without me in tow. Our military men and women (and our cadets) are Americans that protect the freedom we enjoy every single day. Today's post is dedicated to them.

A month ago my husband was asked, by a family friend, to be his "First Salute" during his Commissioning Ceremony. Those of you that know anything about the military know that the Silver Dollar Salute is a big deal. My husband and I have watched this young man grow into a responsible leader and we were proud to spend the day honoring him.

Creativity for a Cause

I serve as the assistant lead on behalf of Stampin' Up! for the Ronald McDonald House in Tampa, FL. It is my responsibility to ensure all 14 guest rooms are stocked with hand-stamped greeting cards for the families to use during their stay. The RMH uses approximately 300 cards per month and I need more “manpower” to help me create them. This is where your group (Women’s ministry, group of neighbors, friends, Bible study, Mom’s group, Bunco group, etc.) comes in. I will provide pre-designed, pre-cut pieces that are ready to be stamped and assemble. I ask for a $5 donation, per person, to help off set the cost of supplies. I would love to have your help, so together, we can make a difference in our community. For more information or to organize your group, please contact me.
