Cards for Heroes

I have seen a bunch of posts about CFH (Cards for Heroes) in the past but haven't participated... yet! You basically send handmade cards this organization and they send the cards to the troops so they can then send them to their families back home. I found this on Jennifer's blog and am definitely going to do it. See below for details... just in case you want to participate too! :-)

Thank you!

PS: Just for fun - a twitter post from a military wife who received cards her hubby sent:
"Cards from Hubs in Iraq meant the WORLD to us at home. Thx to all who gave so he could send!"

Also, CFH is always looking for blank cards. If you want to make some cards and put them to REALLY good use, this is the place. :-)
