Aloha and welcome to my little corner of the blog-o-sphere!  For those of you stopping by for the first time, thanks for visiting!  Feel free to bookmark my page, or add me to your feed reader so you can stop by again!  My name is Joscelyne, but my friends like to call me Joscie, and that rhymes with bossy!  For my regular friends who are stopping by, I’m glad you’re here too!  On this Memorial Day weekend, I’m joining in with 100+ other bloggers to celebrate the http://www.cardsforheroes.org group.  (Here is a link to the start of the blog hop: Cards For Heroes Blog Hop)  These people are people who are showing their appreciation to our Military Members in a real and tangible way.  Do you want to know what they are doing?

They are supporting our nation’s armed forces by sending blank greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them

Do you think, Wow, I want to be a part of that!?  I want to show my appreciation in a real and concrete way!? I’d hoped you’d say that! You can!

This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart! My husband is in the Navy and my brother is in the army and my other brother was in the marines…and we have so so many friends in the military who have served on deployments.  I also know, as a family member, it is always so nice to get real mail from our service member when they are gone.

Here is a card I made for a hero saying thanks for your service to our country:

Here are some cards I made for some hero to send back to their friends and family members back home :

I’m making more cards this weekend!

Here are some tips to remember when making your cards to send in.

You can also make a monetary donation to help pay for the shipping of the cards!

Thanks for stopping by, I’m giving away a gift of scrappy/crafty goodies, so leave a comment telling me if this is your first visit or not.  also tell me if you’ve participated in cards for heroes before or if this will be your first time! :)  I’ll keep the contest open until Monday and post the winner on Tuesday!

Love Love and Blog you later!
