Thank You!

Hi Everyone!  

I was very inspired and so touched at all of the wonderful comments from the Getting Cricky Blog Hop this past weekend.  Thank you all for making it so special! 

This month's hop was in support our fallen HEROES... each Design Team member featured a special "Thank You" card to be delivered during the "Run for the Fallen" in Maine...and featured the FREEDOM isn't Free stamp set.

This post is quite long- but so worth the read. 
I plan to print this post and send it along with my card!
As part of my blog candy "requirement", I asked everyone to tell me who  they would like to thank for making their lives a little better.

Here's what they said....

JulieK (Me)- I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all of the Military in this fine Country.  If you are a member of the Military, or if you have a child, another family member, or a friend who is-- Thank you for everything that you do!  It is people like you, who make life (as I know it) possible.

Brenda said....I would like to thank all my family and friends and those I don't know but who have or are serving our wonderful country. I salute you.

They are all my heros.
