A note about this week's freebie:

Every other week, will be creating freebie sentiments picked by a member of the design team.  These are some of their favorite sentiments! Sometimes they will match the theme, sometimes they won't, but I still hope you enjoy ALL them.  This week the freebie is a set of three sentiments chosen by our design team member, Joanna! Joanna's creations always amaze me: they have a certain softness to them that I am always drawn to.  We're lucky to have her on the team!

Now, let me give you some more information as to why this challenge week is special.  We've partnered up with Operation Write Home to celebrate their birthday.  Don't know what OWH is?  Keep reading!

Operation Write Home mission:

Supporting our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.

Operation Write Home is an organization that sends blank handmade greeting cards for all occasions to deployed service members to write home on. They’ve mailed approximately 500,000 cards so far—and are still going strong! Our challenge to you is to make cards to send to them for our nation’s heroes.

Please read the basic guidelines here.  It’s important to remember that glitter is NOT allowed (it’s a safety hazard to our heroes), handmade cards only, and OWH needs A2 sized cards. “Operation Write Home” needs to be on the backs of your cards—it can be stamped, handwritten, or printed on labels. Please include a packing slip inside your box or envelope, and mail them to any of their shippers listed on the Mailroom page. In your package, you can also include notes written to a deployed service member.

We sure got a good variety of clean and simple cards last week!  Some not as simple, but still all very squeaky clean :)  Sometimes it's nice to take a break from over-embellishing, at least least I think so! Let's get on with this week's events:

I've never been very good at doing recipe challenges, so...I have no sample for this week : /  Plus, I'm going to a short weekend trip and I didn't have time to make anything.  But you shouldn't give up as easily as I did! I know you'll do marvelous things with this recipe, just like the design team have!
