It's almost Valentine's Day.  Be sure to give a card and maybe some chocolates to your sweetie - and don't forget special friends. Here are a few cards I've made for friends and family.

 

Since the pandemic started I'm been staying in a lot so I've been making lots of cards - birthday cards, thinking of you cards, etc.  I'll share a few with you.

Military Thank You Cards

Here are some samples of cards and pocket Scripture books I made for our soldiers stationed overseas.  Of course there is a message of appreciation in every card.  Since I'm inside most of the time with Covid, it's a great way to spend my time doing something constructive.  Since I make so many, I usually do them on my PC.

 

I take them to Military Missions in Lexington, Ky and they send them where needed.  They are always needing thank you cards.  This is a great project for a Sunday School class or a Scout Troop.  You can check out their Face Book page for more things needed.  And of course monetary donations are appreciated, too.  Everything is tax deductible.

Christmas Cards for the Troops

I have stopped participating in craft fairs, but I still like making things especially greeting cards.  So this year I have expanded my card making.  I'm sending "Thank You" cards to our soldiers.  I take them to a drop off here in Lexington, Ky called Military Missions and they forward them on to the soldiers around the world.  Also I'm making Christmas Cards.  So far I made about 200, but can't deliver them until October.  So if this is something you would like to do, you have plenty of time to make a bunch.  

I write practically the same message in each card.  Since I am doing so many, I print a generic note for the inside of the card on my PC and just sign my first name at the bottom.  In the note I tell them why I am writing, that others will be receiving a similar from me, and that I appreciate their service.  I also tell them I'm praying for their safe return.  No need for names, dates, addresses and no need for envelopes.

Here are some examples of my Christmas Cards.  As you can see they are very simple to make.  I just used a pack of Christmas card stock - nothing fancy.
