Operation Write Home Blog Hop May 28-30

If You are here for the Women Of Faith Proverbs 31 Blog Hop, please click here.
Welcome to the Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop! I am so honored to be a part of this, and hope you enjoy my take on the Missing You theme!  You should have come from Gerda's , Stamp Fairy  blog.  If you just stumbled on the hop, and want to begin at the start, you can go to The Operation Write Home Blog, OWH,  Stars and Stamps.  I will warn you, however, that the hop is very long, and you can just begin here and loop around, if you'd like.
Operation Write Home is a wonderful organization.  Handmade greeting cards for any occasion are  created by the members, and are then sent to our Troops to use as they contact their family and friends.  If you are interested in more information, or how to get started with them, please check them out at Operation Write Home.
As many of you know, I am the proud Aunt of 3 Servicemen (Aaron is Career Air Force, Stephen is Career Army and Jonathan is a fairly recent Airman).  In addition, my daughter's boyfriend, Brian, is a Navy Man, currently aboard a nuclear submarine!  All four are/will be soon deployed, and could certainly use your prayers! 
My card was made with Brian in mind, as he will be leaving on a 7 month deployment soon. He won't be able to get mail for two months at a stretch, so we are sending a bunch of cards and things with him to open when he can;t get mail or email.  The inside says, "Missing U".  
 Now, you should head over to Jennifer's blog, Crafty Card Gallery, to continue the hop.
Say a prayer for all our troops and Veterans...and Be Blessed!

    Anyway, I like your play on the "missing u". I did something similar with my card for the blog hop. Great minds think alike! :)

Your comments are cherished--as are you. There wouldn't be a Blog without you to read it--and the flamingos would have stolen much more of my sanity without the Blog to give me a tenuous hold on the outside world. So, thank you. I love you all--Be Blessed.
