RAK for Iraq


Beate was collecting cards to send to her hubby for him to distribute to soldier's in Iraq. I e-mailed and asked her for the address to send a box myself rather than mail to her to mail to him. There are 150 cards and envies here. Such a small token for such amazing people. You can contact Beate through her blog if you would like to send her some cards or send some to her DH. I feel such joy sending this box I don't think I can even begin to tell you. Thanks to Beate for the opportunity.

Retail Therapy SC166
