DONATIONS, ALL STARS, TROOPS AND POUCHES…May 22nd, 2009 @ 9:26 pm | Filed In: FRIENDS · TIP OF THE WEEK TUESDAY
I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEK.
SO SORRY FOR NO TIP OF THE WEEK AND FOR NOT BEING HERE SINCE THE 16TH 
I HAVE HAD SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON ESPECIALLY THE PAST 3 DAYS.
HERE IS SOME STUFF I AM WORKING ON OR WILL BE WORKING ON.
I AM DONATING 20+ BLYTHE DRESSES FOR A RAFFLE. THEY ARE EASY TO MAKE AND PRETTY FAST. THEY AREN’T DUE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE I THINK BUT I WANT TO GET THEM DONE ASAP. THANKS ERICA FOR INCLUDING ME!!
MY NIECE MADE THE ALL STAR SOFTBALL TEAM IN HER DIVISION. I DECIDED TO SPONSOR THE BANNER. THEY PUT TOPSTITCH.ORG ON THE BANNER AND SINCE THEY ARE TRAVELING AROUND O.C. MAYBE I WILL GET MORE VISITORS HERE!!
I ADOPTED A SOLDIER. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. MY COUSIN DIED IN IRAQ ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO SO I ALWAYS TRY AND HELP THE TROOPS. I HAVE TO WRITE HIM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND SEND A PACKAGE ONCE A MONTH. ALL HE REQUESTED WAS COOKIES, SNICKERS, TWIX AND SPORTS MAGAZINE’S. IF HE WRITES BACK I HOPE HE INCLUDES OTHER STUFF HE LIKES. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ANY INFO ABOUT HIM NOT EVEN HIS NAME BUT I WILL TALK ABOUT HIM ON HERE EVERY NOW AND AGAIN!!
TALKING ABOUT TROOPS.
MONDAY IS MEMORIAL DAY PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE OR AN HOUR TO THINK ABOUT OUT TROOPS, THOSE THAT ARE STILL WITH US AND THOSE THAT HAVE PASSED ON. DONT MAKE MEMORIAL DAY JUST ABOUT THE BBQ’S AND THE BOOZE. THEY DESERVE TO BE HONORED AND REMEMBERED, BUT DON’T LIMIT IT TO JUST MEMORIAL DAY.
ZIPPER POUCHES I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
THANKS FOR VISITING.

As the wife of an Army man I thank you for your post. I am sorry for your loss. This war has affected so many. And what a great thing to adopt a soldier. I have kind of adopted all the single soldiers in Jason’s platoon and will be sending out lots of pkgs when they leave for Iraq in Nov.
We are trying to teach the boys (4 & 1 1/2) that Memorial Day is so much more. Thanks for the reminder for everyone.
Take care,
Tania
