Are you the winner?

Wow, my mind is reeling from everything that’s been going on in the past week.   Today I am feeling especially patriotic in light of the news of Bin Laden.  I can’t help but wonder about the repercussions that will probably follow though.  I’m praying for God’s protection on all our troops and  I’ve issued myself a challenge.  I’ve decided that even though this is going to be a crazy busy week I’m going to try to crank out as many cards for OWH as I can.   The following was posted on the OWH Homefront Blog.

4,451 members of the American military in Iraq 

and 1,457 in Afghanistan have died to get this point.

 --------------------------

Remember them and their families.
Remember the injured. And their families.

Remember those we lost on September 11th.

Remember those who are still fighting today.

I can’t do much otherwise, but I can make cards for our brave men & women to send home to their loved ones. 

I wish I could say I am headed out on a Disaster Relief Team to Alabama this week, but I have let my certification lapse, “Mom duties” and work took priority the past 4-5 years so I’m worthless there, but I will get my certification updated so I can be ready to go if/when needed in the future.  My thoughts and prayers continue to be with all those who were affected by last week's storms.

Enough of the HEAVY stuff for now.  I have a WINNER from the Disney/Pixar Hop, but I’ve got to say I feel like the real winner.  I can’t thank you all enough for choosing to follow me and for leaving such great comments.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading them all and I wish I could take the time to write each of you individually, but since I can’t, please just know that I appreciate each one of you.

When tallying the # of comments for Random # generator to pick from, I included the comments/votes on the Mickey & Minnie card I posted earlier last week.  Thanks to those of you who participated in this too.  Adding the “&” won, but one commenter --sorry I don’t remember who, had the best idea.  She chose option “c” and said make one version of each.  Since the cards are for OWH, I think she’s right!

One more thing & I’ll hush.  (It’s kinda hard to get anything productive done if I’m babbling on and on now isn’t it?)  I just want to ask you all to please try & stop by tomorrow for my Tuesday Tips post.   These are mostly tips FOR me FROM you.  The topic is going to be coloring stamped images but also about a new machine that I’ve just seen..... & no, it’s not the E2 I’m talking about.  I really have a lot of questions about both of these topics & want to know what you think/know.

OK the winner is Kim M. a new follower who said:
