Cards for a Cause 2014 update and candy winners

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I finished packing up all the cards and they have started to ship out. I got to spend some quality time with each and every card and all I can say is that my blog readers are an amazingly talented group of ladies. Talented and charitable. What an awesome combination. Once again, we received cards from far and wide. From Marina in Far Away Africa to Gill across the Atlantic. It's amazing that those of you who live so far away are willing to join in with my...

So many of us choose to celebrate Poppy Day - or Veterans Day on Tuesday - to recognize the lives of those we have lost - and those who continue to fight to protect our freedom. I got a text from Russ today. He... Read more →
