To all the member of the troops, I want to thank you all for all your sacrifice and for your bravery. Because of what you do, we have the freedom that we're so often take for granted. From the bottom of my heart thank you for everything.
For my card, I tried to do some stitching. As I mentioned previously, I am really new at this whole stitching stuff. I couldn't get it straight at all. Well, actually I meant it to look like that. Heh... :)
The second card is simple card. I love simple card. This one again using the "Tweet Retreat" from Kathy Martin's collection.
That's all the cards that I have for today. I am finally stop shaking from my shock of yesterday's announcement from Paper Crafts here. Pretty much spent the whole day being nauseous, because I was so excited, yet very nervous, too. So, besides blog hopping, I am planning on working on some cards this weekend. Keeping my finger cross!
OK, your next hop is to Dawn's blog!
Update: I decided to do some giveaway, I have so many things to be thankful for lately and I would love to share my blessings. Below is what I am giving away. Just a mix match of stuff. To enter please leave comments and I'd love for you to become follower of my blogs. Following my blog is not mandatory though. I'd love for you to follow my blog if you feel my blog can inspire you.

Yes your blog can inspire me, but I need an 'subscribe by email' button in order to keep up with you and don't see one on your page. I love the cards that you did for OWH. What an awesome project.

What a sweet card creation! My husband is a vietnam veteran and says he wished there had been an OWH program when he was overseas. Thanks for supporting our fellow patriots, and have a great Memorial Day weekend!
Love your card- the stitching is awesome! I find CAS hard...your CAS is so elegant!
You did a terrific job.. I love your cards. I have been stitching on fabric for years and let me tell you....it is not easy to stitch on cardstock.. Yours looks great.. I gave up on mine...:)
Great card! TFS...have a great holiday.
Your cards are cute! I love to see stitching on cardstock. It adds a nice touch.
Great cards - I especially like the sneaky-cute border on the second one! Thanks for sharing!
Very cute (can't be anything but with mice and bird houses involved right?) and I especially love the border on the second one.
I've been making cards for OWH since I discovered them during the blog hop last year! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great cards!!! Thanks for supporting OWH! Best of luck on the contest...loved your entry!
Hi Vera Sweetie...
I am Country Wings your newest follower. I can't wait to see what you share next. I love your blog home.
Your card with the little mouse so tugs at my heart. I love little mice designs. They are so adorable. This creation of yours will be so appreciated by one soldier when they reach in the box of love.
I have never made a card, but this blog hop has so inspired me. I have been looking for something that I could do for the soldiers and what a wonderful gift of love. Each card will touch many lives. How wonderful.
I have been shut in for a month now and have at least 2 more weeks before the Dr.s will allow me outside. I am having complications with my lungs and chronic asthma. I have been wanting a craft to do that I could work on from my recliner. I believe I have found it. I am going to search the house today for items that I may have that I could make a few cards to send. I am so excited. Thank you for your inspiration today. Your cards are just exquisite.
Thank you for the opportunity to win some eye candy goodness. Any one of us would be so lucky to win.
Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well. I love meeting new friends and learning new crafts from others.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Very cute cards.
Cute cards! I'm definitely going to have to look for Tweet Retreat!!!
