From Our Hearts

I went through my stash of cards in basement and decided it was time to thin out old swap cards, outdated cards and well just all the excess that has been building up.

I heard of a great organization called From Our Hearts (http://www.fromourhearts.info) in my LateNightStampers group. They send thousands of cards over to our troops so that the soldiers can stay in touch w/ their families. If you interested in sending out cards for the troops, please don't hesitate. It's such a great feeling to know that these cards will be used by those fighting for freedom.

After weeding through I came up with 125 cards to send to From Our Hearts. They also told me never to worry about a card being 'not good enough'. They have a great group of ladies in Topeka Kansas that revamp them.

From Our Hearts/Cards For Troops

Yesterday, I did something that made my heart feel good. I received a box from my sister the other day , and it had 22 placecards in it that were left behind after the concert. She was sure that I needed all my little soldiers back and that I would find a good use for them. Lo and behold, an email comes into my inbox from a fellow SU! Demo talking about From Our Hearts (cards for troops). I contacted Martie Shea, the founder, and she said she would be happy to take all the soldiers. I spent a little time putting a base and sentiment on them and ran them into the post office and they are on their way to good homes. :) The entire time--I'm thinking how good it feels. If you want to do something good for your heart take a look at the FROM THE HEART or another charity of interest. Like Martha Stewart says, "It's a good thing."
