Ten Hut!
Okay is that what they really say? "Ten hut!"? Or is it some shortened version of "AtennnnTION!"? I have no idea. But it works as my title for this blog post, so I'm going with it: Ten HUT!
Today was packing day, and we got 10 boxes done—10 pretty boxes lined up in a row! Three-quarters full of Christmas cards. . . the rest are birthday, general cards, and love cards. I'd been holding onto the Christmas ones for a while as they kept coming in; the last box of cards took only 3 days to ship, so I didn't want to get these out too early!
And these carry some VERY special treats: cards from children! What fun it was to put those in the boxes. Hope they help make our troops' holiday a little brighter!
The above 25 cards are from the Ho Ho Hero challenge for kids, and the winner was Brownie Troop 909—their craft box is on its way! And the cards are all packed in the boxes, too, so they're on their way overseas.
This is the last of the unphotographed cards—the latest to arrive.
Yeahhhhh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.. The kids cards are great. Love them. Oh, what fun..
OH! I see Sami's card in the first photo (she is not in the troop) and my cards in the 2nd! Can I tell you this brings tears to my eyes? So beautiful! What a wonderful gift to the men and women that are putting their lives on hold, and on the line, for us... God Speed to all of them..
That's my girls!!! I told them tonight about the challenge they won and they were so proud!
Thank you so much Sandy!
thanks for all you do Sandy! I love seeing the piles of cards! I know are troops do also!
LOL! Yes, "Ten-Hut!" is supposed to be "Attention!" Like standing at attention. We don't really say "Ten Hut!" LOL! Your blog always cracks me up and makes me smile. Thanks for being such a great "Battle Buddy!"
