We Did It! Love to Soldiers is Complete!

A few weeks ago I asked if any of you would be interested in gathering some items to send to a troop of soldiers in Kuwait. My hope was that we could send four large priority boxes. Well, we sent EIGHT boxes, 85 valentines, and made a $35.00 donation to the AnySoldier project!

 I should have known that my blogger friends would respond in this way!

You're a group of generous, kindhearted women!

Enjoy these pictures. :)

Jackson Brown checks out my contribution. My Aunt Judy donated $20 toward this batch too!

In addition, Marci and Susan, helped by making a monetary donation, which helped to send some of the things in this picture!

Several of the gals above also sent money to help with shipping costs. And for those of you who sent cards, I can't thank you enough! Because of you, we were able to make our goal of sending exactly 85 valentines!

 

I don't know what I would have done without Deb's help on this!

We got together on two different days at her house. We sorted, labeled, and boxed things up. Then we would realize we did something wrong, and have to take it apart and re-box things. lol

There was a lot of laughing, and sighing (from me not her), and then we (me) needed a couple of drinks when it was all said and done! We learned a lot about how to do this! And it was fun!

 

Sweet Pea and Jackson Brown helped out too!

 

Sending a HUGE thank you to Deb, and Everyone who participated in sending love to this particular group of soldiers! Maybe we will hear back from some of them. Let me know if you do!

Hugs- Erica :)
