Let's help our troops

The other day, I got an email from scrapbook trend. In the email (and some of you might have gotten it) it asked for all scrapper to help our troops. It said this

"We all want to support the troops serving our country and world, but it's not always easy to know what to do for them. We've got the perfect opportunity for you to show your support while putting your card-making skills to good use. Soldiers are always writing to their loved ones back home, yet do not have the opportunity to get cards to send them. Northridge Media is collecting cards to send to soldiers that they can then use to send greetings back to their families and friends.

We are collecting cards for all occasions – birthday, get well, thinking of you, love, kids, etc. Please include as many as you would like to create! Holiday cards need to be sent as soon as possible to allow time for them to be sent back; the deadline for holiday cards is September 29th. Other cards can be sent until December 31, 2007. Please make sure to include an envelope for each card you send."


SO this is my new challenge. lets take time out from our scrapping lives and help others.

Sounds good! I gotta get past this Sat before I will commit, but will touch base with you again on it. I did something like this for a diff site, but it was us sending cards of thanks to the troops as part of the "A MILLION THANKS" campaigne.
