tell me about 'operation write home' your cards are lovely gina Thanks!!! Operation Write Home is an organization which collects handmade cards and sends them to overseas bases for deployed soldiers. Cards have to be made following specific guidelines such as size, certain sentiments only, no handwriting, no glitter, etc. The president of the organization frequently makes “unboxing” videos to inspire other card makers. It is so cool that she chose my cards... The organization is closing down in August due to the drawdown and lack of redeployments. I have made hundreds of cards over the past two years. I will now be making cards that will be sent to cancer patients.

I'm not familiar with the OWH program but I would guess that these are cards given to military personnel overseas. WOW, Laura. You made a TON of truly beautiful cards. What a gift to these men and women in uniform.
I hereby nominate you for Refupea Hero of the Day!!! Thanks for being awesome!

Congrats on getting your own video! LOVE your cards. Please come join the 2peas swap board group on facebook so I have a shot at getting some of your cards some day. I'm sad and glad at the same time that OWH is closing down. It's bittersweet. Been a good run.

Beautiful cards! I used to make blank cards for a woman who put together boxes to send to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. She always included a batch of blank cards for the woman to send to friends and family. She stopped doing this a few years ago. I'm interested in starting up again. Can you share the information for the cancer organization you will be creating for?

Gorgeous cards.
Can you share where you will be sending cards for cancer patients? I used to send cards for OWH years ago & really felt good doing so. I would love to send cards for another worthy cause.

Can you share the information for the cancer organization you will be creating for? I haven't sent any out yet but I was thinking of CardCareConnection.com Has anyone ever made cards for them? I just found them on the internet. I would definitely be open to suggestions of another group if someone know of one : ) link

It's called TwoPeas Swap Chat but I see it's labeled Secret now so maybe it won't show up on a search?? If not, you can send me your email address if you like and I'll get you an invitation. I think there's at least one more group, too, because when I first joined this one, they were in the middle of some kind of blow-up and a bunch of people left. But it has seemed quite peaceful since then.
