Support our troops

Calling all card makers---we've learned of an exciting opportunity to help our service men and women currently stationed overseas. As you might imagine, access to many items we take for granted each day are limited in the countries where they are serving. One of those items is greeting cards for when they want to send a note or something special to a loved one back home.

So, here's where we come in! Bloomin' Scrapbooks is collecting handmade cards to send to a division currently stationed in Afghanistan. If you would like to contribute, please bring your cards into the store by September 15. We will provide envelopes for each card, so we ask they be standard size, either 3.5 by 5.5" or 5" x 7". The cards should also be white inside so the soldiers are able to easily write notes or letters inside them.

It's an amazing thing when a hobby we love can make a difference in the lives of others. And in this case, it's a "double bonus." The soldiers will appreciate being able to send a beautiful card to their loved ones, and no doubt the final recipient will cherish it!
