It is Memorial Day, a day for somber reflection about the heroes who have sacrificed everything for our country's freedom. I am proud to be an American, even with all the work we have to do as a nation.
This is also the weekend for the Unity Memorial Day sale - lots of goodies over there so check it out! The sale ends on May 31. I am honored to be the Growing in Unity host this week. Remember to leave comments this week on each post for your chance to win $20.00 at the Unity shop.
A little history - this is also my Stampversary. I discovered stamping and Unity on Memorial Day Weekend of 2009 when my husband and stepson decided to go camping. Once they were out of the house, I came across the OWH (Operation Write Home) blog and Memorial Day blog hop and found someone using Unity on one of the stops. I raced over to the Unity site and placed my first order. I do order a few things from other companies now and then but no company speaks to me like Unity. I love their stamps and amazing design team and, of course, the beautiful people of Unity. Angela is such a positive person and I love seeing Nic and Whit getting really involved in the business. And the employees are the best - customer service is unmatched! Of course, it all stems from their beautiful red rubber stamps.
It has been a while since I had a chance to make a card and I am a little rusty so bear with me. Although these cards are not perfect, I sent them out anyway. Everyone appreciates a card you made yourself!
I think your cards are terrific and I know whoever receives them will love them, too.
