part 1 ~ operation shower: sunshine safariI am a sucker for Operation Shower. They say “jump”, I say, “how high?” If you haven’t heard me talk (gushing profusely) about them in the past, then you may be hiding under a rock.

Lemonade for JapanI received an email late last week from Missy, of Sweet Funky Vintage Boutique, with the most amazing story. Using our Lemonade Stand printables, she and her girls put together a fundraiser, selling – what else – Lemonade. I was also touched when she mentioned that her husband is currently on the USS Ronald Reagan, [...] |
Operation Shower: Sunshine Farmsa view of the Military Appreciation tent on the 14th green I know I do go on and on about Operation Shower, but I just can’t help myself. I have a total weak spot for anything “baby”, and when you top it off with our service men and women? I do whatever I can to [...] |

A little while ago, Amy from Stem Parties asked if we would design and donate a printable party for “Operation Give Thanks“.
