Another late start this morning cause my honey bunch called I told him about the cards for troops that we are doing and his 1st words to that was HOLY MOLY!! He did mention that there are about 1,200 people 99% men on the base and that the cards are just plain yucky that they have over there and are very slim pick-ins over therein the "Card department " as Rich said they are Dorky cards that they have over there ...so any & all cards that you want to send are ALL welcome.. Rich also said everyone will LOVE them there .. sooo all your cards will be bringing smiles to all their faces ... Look what I made .. I just had to make a one sheet box fromBEATE"S tutorial she has on SCS I was sooo excited about making them and could hardly wait to show you all .. I really love my new set Doodle this set and I really love certainly celery and chocolate chip together .. inside my sweet box holds snicker mini candy bits YUMM-O . I did do something alittle different with my boxes to help me tie the ribbon alot better I punched the top sides with my rectangle punch so the ribbon slides right in there and holds it alot better for me to tie the bow .. The stitched chocolate ribbon is from the Ribbon Originals "SEASIDE" .. Yesterday I received Cards from Lois Michael she has a blog too check her out and give her a BIG HI over there OH my goodness she sent our troops such beautiful cards .. Thank you all so very much
Have a Fabulous Saturday . I will see you tomorrow
Until later... Happy Stampin!!
Does your husband have to pay for postage to mail the "yucky" cards back home to the states? If they do, maybe it would be nice to include postage on the envelopes. You know, no excuses NOT to mail them home.

My box of cards was shipped yesterday...so you should receive them the first part of the week (I hope). That's cool that your DH was excited about the cards. :)
Your One Sheet Box is awesome! I need to try out Beate's tutorial.
