*CLOSED*Comfort a Military Spouse and WIN some Blog Candy!

Hello Crafters! This is my first ever blog candy give a way and it's for a special cause. First let me explain by telling you, I am volunteer for my husbands brigades Care Team. In the event of a tragedy I may be called on to give support to a spouse. I had an idea of making sympathy cards to give to the spouses. Cards are given to them, but I feel handmade cards would seem more personal, then something from a store shelf. How does this tie in with blog candy you ask? I'd love to tell you! To enter this challenge you must mail your card to me. By doing so you understand it could be used to comfort a military spouse in the event of a tragedy. It also means you have the chance to win one of three blog candy giveaways! THE RULES.... 1. You don't have to follow my blog, but it would make me feel cool if you did... Actually you don't even need a blog to even participate. If you do have a blog you must repost this challenge. I don't have many followers so I'm counting on the few I have to spread the word! 2. You must mail the actual card to me. Pictures of it are not accepted. 3. It must be a sympathy card (sorry for your loss). Keep it simple and clean. 4. If you are interested in participating email me at jesslewis369@yahoo.com. there I will send you the address to mail the card to. Please make sure the return address is easy to read, as I will be mailing the blog candy to the same address on your envelope. 5. Please enclose a blank envelope with the card. Send as many cards as you like. It may make a difference for your chances to win the candy! 6. Last but not least the blog candy giveaway is only good till the end of this month (August 2009) I will be posting pictures of the winning cards and names Beginning of September!

    Wow. That is a tough job that you have. What a great incentive to have a set of cards, ready to give in the unfortunate event.

    Jess - I think I can help hook you up! I love anything and everything to do with soldiers (my son is USMarine) and I love the idea of giving comfort at all times not just during time of trial. Count me in and I will be a spreading the word!!

    Jess - I would love to donate a JustRite Thinking of you set to your cause- It is the perfect set for when they are just no words to express your sorrow. I am praying that you will not need to use the set very often, but wanted to be able to contribute in some way to such a worthy cause. I couldn't find your email address on your blog. Can you please email me at kellief@justritestampers.com with your shipping information so that I can send you this set.

    OK, I fixed up about 8 or so today, so they go in the mail tomorrow. And I want to add a Thank You to Just Rite Stampers - that's one of the stamps I used in some of my cards today - it's perfect!
