One other question. Are we leaving them blank inside or do you want us to type a message on the inside of the card so all they have to do is sign it? Either way works for me.

I've made eight or nine cards so far, and they all look different...I do have birthday cards...some for children...a couple generic. I have a couple that say I miss you and I love you (on the outside) but they're blank inside.

Cakesasfun Not sure that I can do this right now I do cards for soldiers and have been doing it for over a year on the cricut MB I do at least 100 per month and 300 for xmas but I will try to help you out since they dont have to be in until Oct We get letters all the time of thanks they really do appreciate them and this is a great cause and a way to give back I also send a few dollars to the person shipping since they ship at there own expense and my shipper can ship 3000 cards at one time I will really try to do this for you but not going to promise right now thanks for doing this

Sorry I have not been on the computer much for the past 2 days. We have had a LOT going on around here. Quick answers as I am on my way out to cake class: Make any cards that you think someone would like to send back to someone else. They can be all different or several of the same, they can be blank inside or have something like a regular greeting card, doesn't matter. I made my first card last night at a Stampin Up party. It was so much fun! Of course now I am printing off my coupon to see if there is something I just have to have from ACM today...hopefully I will be back on late tonight. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER.

Sounds good, thanks so much! I plan on making 10 cards. I have 3 done. I'm a bit slow when it comes to making cards. I'll take pics when I can so you can what they look like

I'm going to make a special album on my blog for them. These cards I'm actually proud of. It takes me a while to make cards and sometimes I don't think they come out all that well. I only take pics of the ones that I'm proud of LOL!!

Okay...I'm sorry if I insulted you or your darling daughter...but you had mentioned in an earlier post about a small store that sold out of the Hallmark cards that they sometimes have in stock. That got me to thinking, and I wouldn't want them sold. I hope you understand. I'm just about done with my batch...I take off for vacation bright and early Wednesday..so I hope to have them in the mail to you on Tuesday!

The PX there is small and runs out of a LOT of things, cards are just one. Looking forward to seeing them in "the flesh!"

Hey cakes...before I forget to tell you...I'm putting the cards in the mail tomorrow. They're all inside of their envelopes. You mentioned taking pictures of them. When you take them out to photo them, it would be a good idea to put them back in the same envelopes...otherwise, you may go crazy trying to find the right envelope. They could be damaged forcing them..if you kwim. Just wanted to give you a heads up I've updated my blog, and have them all in a slideshow, if you want to see what I'm sending.
Peace My Blog
