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! They are sent overseas for our troops to mail back home.

My cards for Operation Write Home have been unboxed... linkDid you see where OWH is shutting down? Sandy was an original Pea back in the day. I started a thread about them closing on the stamping/card making board the day that I heard... It was really great to be selected given that they are only taking new cards until August 1st. I also wrote this on the first page when asked about OWH... "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."

Oh my gosh. Those are so cute and nicely done. I'm just a beginning card maker and I learned a lot from just looking at the video.
LucyG, I'd like to join the Two Peas Swap also. I'll send you a PM.

Sandy Allnock was a Pea many many years ago and a member of the "RAK" group that formed. She is such a wonderful person. We've sent hundreds of cards to her in memory of another Pea Claudia who sadly died 3 1/2 years ago. I'd love to check out the 2peas card swap...I did find one but it had "jetty cakes" in the title..is that it>>> Even if it's a private group, you can message the admin to join right through FB

I saw your cards yesterday! Who knew you were a Refupea? I was a featured card maker back when OWH was Cards for Heroes. I'm going to check out the new organization you will be donating to now.

The one I'm in is TwoPeas Swap Chat. I'm sure they're both equally nice swap groups. If you want an invitation to the group I'm in, PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite that will still need to be approved by the admin.
