It's an OWH Blog Hop!!!

(*If reading this feels like Deja vu....that's because it is! I have 2 blogs on this hop and due to lack of time didn't change up the text...sorry! There are a few different things in this one though - an extra chance for blog candy and some special deals! I did a different card too.)

Yay! Don't you love blog hops? I know I do!
If you've just come directly here - the start of the blog hop is at OWH Stars & Stamps.  Go there to be able to check out all of the amazingly creative people participating!  There are blog prizes, tutorials, and digital freebies to be had!
If you're following along with the hop, that means you've arrived here from Jennifer's page - doesn't she have beautiful cards? Tempting recipes too! That burger looks delicious!

The mission of Operation Write Home is to "support our nation's armed forces by sending blank greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them."

Initially I found Operation Write Home through the Memorial Day blog hop in 2009.  The day of the hop was the same day that I found out my hubby was on his way home from his 3rd deployment.  Unfortunately, he's deployed yet again, this time to Iraq.
This is one of the many reasons this Operation is close to my heart.  In addition to my hubby's service as an EOD Tech for the Air Force (Seen Hurt Locker? That's what he does....only in a more responsible manner!), both of my grandfather's have served during WWII, an uncle, and a cousin that is also in Iraq right now.  Their service is so inspiring to me and others.

So without further ado - my "miss you" card:

*Recipe: Vellum from Making Memories, Sentiment stamp from Fiskars, Flower stamp from Ippity's Now & Always set.

Now...it's time for the BLOG CANDY! Yay!
