I recently attended a craft show here in our little town. It seems as if there are many local crafty people. I was excited to find two of my daughter’s friends with a booth of their own. They had tables full of handmade Christmas cards. Of course, I had to buy a few. The problem was deciding which ones were my favorites. I had to limit myself. They make all sorts of cards including birth announcements, birthday and sympathy cards so I am going to be checking with them often. I love giving something that took time to make. It makes giving a card more personal.

This afternoon, I am going to a friend’s house where she is showing a couple of us gals how to make a wallet. I have made a wallet from a pattern before, photo above, but I had trouble getting it to look nice. I am anxious to get tips from her and see how hers turn out so pretty. Have a great day everyone.

The holidays are approaching. When I think of how our soldiers will cope with being away during the holidays, it breaks my heart. Many will miss seeing their loved one’s during their first Thanksgiving dinner and will miss the first time they sit on Santa’s lap. We need to let our soldiers know how much we appreciate them and their sacrifices.

It can be hard to find the right words to express our feelings. What can we say that will let our soldiers know that they have not been forgotten? GalleryCollection.com has once again, teamed with Soldier’s Angels with a collection of cards that have the right sentiment. GalleryCollection.com is donating 180,000 personalized Holiday cards to Soldiers’ Angels for use in Holiday care packages to deployed troops! Soldiers’ Angel’s Motto ‘May no soldier go unloved’ sums up all of our sentiments.

I have seen the beautiful selection of Business Christmas cards offered through GalleryCollection.com. Their products are absolutely beautiful and made of quality products. When our business sends cards purchased through GalleryCollection.com it is a compliment to our business. Not just any cards will do when it comes to how we want our business represented.

Kudos to GalleryCollection.com and Kudos to Soldier’s Angels for this huge undertaking.
