Thank you to alllllll of you who have made this whole project possible! We’d love to list all 100+ of you but just consider yourselves massively thanked! These Thursday posts will list items and blessings received for the last 7 days, so if you’re looking for confirmation that your package or monetary donation was received, check in on Thursdays.

Cards & supplies received this week:

1. DENISE W, Tampa, thank you to you and your friends for the cards!
2. VALERIE B, Jacksonville, bless you for all those storebought cards, they’re wonderful! The extra envelopes will come in handy too!
3. DEE N, Duluth, thank you for your wonderfully organized box of beautiful cards!
4. BOB S, Federal Way WA, thank you for the huge stack of paper!
5. PAM U, Madison AL, thank you for getting this site tweaked even more - having the sponsor-a-shipment link available now is awesome!

Vendor deals we are grateful for:

Imagine Stamps: Custom acrylic stamps
Rebecca at Imagine Stamps has the artwork for these cardsforheroes.org stamps shown below! If you’d like to order any for yourself, go to her website and email her to ask for whichever one you’d like, what your name is if you’d like to have the ones with a name, and she’ll email you the cost. It is much more reasonable than you’d imagine!

Agape Gifts: 10% discount on stamps!
Sandy R at Agape Gifts on eBay will give a 10% discount to customers who tell her they’re for cardsforheroes! She carries those awesome military stamps from Paper Inspirations as well as a great selection of all sorts of stamps.

Moulding Frame Supply Liquidators: ATG tape deal
An ebay seller, Moulding Frame Supply Liquidators (also comes through on ebay as Ty Products) has ATG tape at a really reasonable price (six 36ft rolls of 1/2 inch tape for $9.99) — if you purchase more than one box of 6, they give you a great break on shipping, so email the seller from the ebay site to let him know it’s for the cardsforheroes project.

Patriotic fabric swatches
If you’d like some fabric for making patriotic cards, send an email (link at right), and we’ll hook you up with Cheryl who saves the leftover pieces from projects she regularly creates. Fabric is a challenge for cardmaking, but it adds nice texture!

Got thanks to share?
We’d love to pass on the gratitude for donations, discounts, & deals, cardmaking help, hosts of parties/classes—whatever makes it possible for you to do more for our heroes. Email us with your kudos!
