Hope you had a happy and safe 4th of July! Most of us here at Stampendous had BBQs with our families and watched the fireworks to celebrate our independence! We wouldn’t be able to do so without the help of our heroes, the soldiers. Now that July 4 has passed, we have ended the Cards for Heroes card drive, but if you forgot about our deadline and wish to participate, you can send your cards directly to Cards for Heroes. Get more info by clicking here.
We would like to thank everyone who participated! We got some really great cards! Here’s a photo of some of our favorites:
And a big thank you to Nancy S., Piali B., L.G. and the others that chose to be anonymous. We know that your cards are going to create a lot of smiles!
