Karen’s Commentary: This week I had some serious mailing going on! I send manufacturer’s coupons to U.S. military bases all over the world. The base commissaries accept coupons that have been expired up to six months, and these coupons really help the military families to stretch their dollars. My envelopes full of coupons went to a total of nine Army, Navy and Air Force bases in Germany, Japan, Italy and Belgium. If you would like to help out these military families, go to www.ocpnet.org to get addresses of the bases that are currently accepting coupon donations.
Darlene’s Commentary: Have you ever received a one-of-a-kind handmade greeting card? Handmade cards are always special, and many become keepsakes that warm the heart each time you look at them. Karen and I enjoy making cards with our little group under the talented (and patient) guidance of Ms Sandi Arismendi, our greeting card guru! We have a great time and have learned many techniques with different types of materials. With a little bit of imagination, adhesives, cardstock, colored paper, textures, ink, stamps and bling – voila! – you have a one-of-a-kind beautifully handmade card to share with someone special.

Thought for Today: On June 30, 1953, the first production Corvettes were built at the General Motors facility in Flint MI. All 300 Corvettes were white convertibles with red interiors and black canvas tops.
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.
