It is time again for another challenge. And this one is going to be a little different. This is also another 3 week challenge.

Mothers Day with flowersModern Mom cards (not flowery or pink)Mothers Day cards that don't say mom (for someone who has been like a mom)Mothers Day with buttons or bows (keep the bows/buttons small and flat pls)
Pick from these sub themes and do any # of cards you want. Be creative....get fancy....keep them simple. Whatever you are comfortable with.

The idea is to have fun with the cards while supporting our military. Every card is appreciated.

Don't forget that there are both men and women deployed sending cards home.

For those of you who are new, let me explain how this challenge works.

Make cards in any way that you want. All 15 different, all 15 the same, or a mix of both. Just leave the inside blank to give the soldiers room to write home in and include an envelope. NO stamp necessary, (soldiers get free mail when deployed.)

When you sign up you will sign up for how many you want to do 15,30,45,100. You will also tell us what time zone you are in. The time zone will tell us to whom you will ship your cards to at the end of the challenge.

That shipper will then compile all the cards and send them to units on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each time zone is ****igned 2 or more units to ship to (a unit is 120-160 soldiers).

Shipping is an expense to us that all the shippers have taken on out of their own pocket. However if you want to donate a dollar or two for shipping expense overseas then we welcome that. All money donated goes to pay for shipping to the soldier. YOU DO NOT have to donate any money to participate in this challenge.

If you have any qualms or questions about what we are doing with cards for soldiers. Please pm me or ask in the thread. There are several great ladies that keep this going.

Thank you for standing behind our troops
