I stayed kinda busy today so I didn't have time to get depressed! Ashley called me at 3:30 am during her layover in Bangor, Maine. We didn't talk for long but it was good to hear her one last time. I was really surprised when she told me the coffee shop & gift shop was open at the airport. Seems they open them for the troops when they fly in or out. It's amazing all the support out there that we just don't know about. There is also a group called the Freeport Flag Ladies who, like the Hug Lady, are there for support for our troops. These three wonderful ladies greet our soldiers giving them a small gift and taking their picture which they post on their website. I am patiently waiting for this morning's pictures to be posted! You can read about them HERE.
I am having a hard time with Ashley's address. For those of you who I e-mailed her mailing address (TWICE), I think it is still wrong. She gave it to me yesterday when I was on my cell phone (and she on hers). Don't know about you, but clarity is not always the best with cells. I repeated the address to her but think it is still wrong. Her friend, Dawn, who has just returned from Iraq from her second tour told me the address didn't look right to her. So, I am trying to get in touch with the FRG (Family Readiness Group) to get the correct address. I already have a letter and a package that I want to send to her so it will be waiting for her in Mosul when she arrives.
Here is a Christmas card that I made tonight. I still need to work with this stamp set. This was my first time playing with it.
I stamped the image (Christmas Collage from Holiday Mini) on red cardstock with Silver Craft Ink and embossed it in silver. Then, I stamped "merry" in the little rectangle. The Joy is actually stamped in black & cut out - very carefully! I used my Nesties to get the black circle around "25". What do you think?
