Supporting the Troops

As many of you know, I have always been a big supporter of our troops. There is one special group out there called "Adopt a Platoon" I have been helping them help soldiers since 2006. It a great organization and if you have some time you should check them out. They have lots of options and ways for you to help out the troops. Here is a card I made for a soldier. I took a couple of close ups, so you could see the detail.

For the backround, I punched stars in the same color as the card and pop dotted them. :) Pins are just from the sewing section of any craft store.

Kathy's Christmas Wish

As many of you know, last Christmas instead of asking for presents I took donations for the troops, it was a great success and thank you everyone for pitching in and helping the troops. This year I decided to do something very similar. You all know I'm a big animal lover so I thought I would combine my passions and help both the animals and the troops. I will be collecting donations for the Puppy Rescue Mission. They help soldiers that are serving overseas and that find a loving companion while there, bring that dog or cat to be in a forever home with there soldier. My Christmas Wish is to raise $500 or more for the Puppy Rescue Mission, so they can continue all the wonderful things that they do. If you planned on purchasing me a gift, please use that money to contribute to help me reach my goal and make my Christmas Wish come true! Every little bit counts, so I ask that one day you skip the coffee or go to spare change jar and make a donation.

You can make donations online to a charity page I created or deliver donations in person to me:
