Scrapbook USA is coming to the South Towne Expo Center on March 23rd and 24th. (So excited to go!!) This time they are doing a service project for our troops. They asked that people send them cards. Not for the troops to get, but for the troops to be able to have a handmade card to send home to their loved ones. My friend, Cindy, and I decided that it was a worthy cause and wanted to help out. On Monday, we had a card making day and made a few cards to send to those in charge. I have to admit that I only got one card made while I was there (I also helped my friend begin her son's guest sign-in book for his wedding). I told Cindy that I would make a few more later that day if I could find the time. I made two more and then looked in my stash for the other two. Cindy came and picked them up and mailed them for us. (Thanks!)

| This one was in my stash |

| Also in my stash, and has been for about 6 years (I taught it in a class). Time to let someone get some use out of it! |
 |
| Made this one at home. |
 |
| Also made this one at home--tags turned presents! |
 |
| Made this one when we got together on Monday. |
As an added bonus if they pick our card(s) we win free entrance to the expo. I don't really plan on winning--just the thought that my cousin or brother-in-law who are in the service could send one of my cards home to their wives or children makes it worthwhile.
Wonderful idea!
