Have you ever heard of the organization Operation Write Home? Have you heard of the Wounded Warrior Project? How about Soldiers’ Angels? Show your support of troops and country by getting your scrappy sisters involved in a community project. Though Close To My Heart has chosen to mainly support Operation Smile, CTMH also hosts many campaigns throughout the year to help many, many other worthwhile charitable organizations.

In June and July of this year, Close To My Heart donated several dollars for each patriotic stamp set sold! Of course, I am a huge supporter of the military and many of the organizations that support our military. So I bought several of these stamp sets to show my support and have several left to purchase. These stamp sets are perfect for cards, scrapbook pages, My Crush book projects and for gift and home decor items, too.

Besides, Courage B1437 $9.95+tax and Home of the Brave D1576 $17.95+tax stamp sets, Close To My Heart also carries other stamp sets perfect for showing your pride and patriotism. American Celebration D1458 $17.95+tax is just one of those stamps! Country-Born D1543 $17.95+tax is another down the Earth home town choice.

I encourage you all to pick a charity you feel strongly about in your community and find creative ways to provide support while having fun doing what you love whether it be card making, scrapbooking, paper crafting, painting, sewing, cooking or any of many other creative pursuits.
