PINK SATURDAY BLOGGERS UNITE TO HELP SUPPORT US TROOPS!

Happy PINK SATURDAY bloggers UNITE with me in my CHARITY effort to raise 50 bloggers who will volunteer to bake 2 dozen cookies and send them to US TROOPS abroad in time for Veteran's DAY! Visit Cans For Cookies US Troops to learn more about this admirable effort. Local girl scout  troops, high schools, and college campuses have joined to help support the troops. Will you?

Cans for Cookies US Troops was started this JULY by me to honor my son, Lance Corporal Hranek, US Marine stationed in North Marja Afghanistan, my two nephews serving in the Army overseas, one having earned a Purple Heart, and all the other brave men and women defending our homeland and our freedom.

Please email me here with your name, address, how many cookies you will bake and I will send you the name of a soldier or other US TROOPS person to whom your package may be addressed. If you have a troop member you would like to add to the mailing roster, please email me here with the details. I need full name, rank, stationed APO address and which armed force he/she is serving with. You may also email pictures or links to their units.

HOPING your hearts open with PINK sugar cookies to fill our cans with cookies, filling their hearts with homemade love!



Two Marines serving our country!

Many thanks to BEV at How Sweet The Sound for supporting this today for me. Everyone who volunteers will be entered in the giveaway for a special edition Vanilla Satin Hands Set from my Mary Kay Independent Skin Care Consultant website . Anyone who leaves a comment will also receive a sampler bag of limited edition products. Be sure to leave your email address and your name, address, and phone number in your email to me so I can mail your sampler bag to you! All orders will receive a 10% discount and all purchases over $40 will receive a surprise special gift from me. Place comments and orders by midnight 09/26/10 for the 10% discount!

  9. Valerie: What a great idea! I am actually going to be homeless for an unknown amount of time this fall. I will tell my sister about this and maybe she will do it for me. Or! If I am SO homeless I have to stay with her for awhile, we may do it together.

  11. What a wonderful thing, we'd love to help. We lost my dad this July. Veteran's Day would have been his birthday. It will be a great way to honor him (he served in the Air Force) and support our troops. Thank you for the idea.
