Four Hundred Sixty Nine

This is the 469th card that I will be sending or have already sent to OWH http://www.owhhomefrontblog.org/.  My goal was 400 for this year so I made it !  Now I will up it to 500 for 2012 .  OWH celebrated the one millionth card this past year.  That is one million happy recipients of cards from our deployed troops.  How cool is that?  Such a pleasure to be a part of this.  Check out OWH and hopefully you will decide to support this great operation.  It costs a lot to send these cards to our heros.  Would you consider donating?
This card is the last Valentine I will be sending to OWH.  They have to be at our shipping centers by Dec.31.

    Wowza, what a gorgeous card! And yay for your 469th card out to OWH! As the wife of a former Marine, it always warms my heart when I see crafters donating their cards to OWH! <3 I need to send out my box here soon to Carol, was stalling because of the holidays. I hope you had a lovely holiday! Definitely going to follow your blog now.
