Operation Write Home

This past week, I received the news that OWH is going out of business because the majority of the troops will be home before the end of this year.  On one hand I'm sad I'll no longer have a place to send hundreds of cards every few months and that is really being selfish.  On the other hand, I'm really ecstatic our troops will no longer be involved in trying to bring peace to countries that absolutely do not want it because of religious differences.

May 2015 Secret Pen Pal Cards for KIds

This was an easy card to make.  After printing out the front and inside message, I drew the stems with a Marvy LePlume II in a darker shade than the card  stock.  The white was daubed onto the card using a 1/4 inch stencil dauber dipped in acrylic paint then lightly applied.  The hardest part was waiting for the paint to dry.
