OPERATION: LOVE FROM HOME

2006-10-05T07:09:00.000-04:00

Disclaimer: We are not affiliated with the following program. We just saw this on another blog and thought it was a worthy cause to promote.

During this holiday season, let's show our troops we love and support them!!!! From September 30 to November 30, I will be collecting holiday cards for troops stationed in high-combat areas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Being away from home and living in harsh conditions during the holiday season is especially difficult ~ they need to know we have not forgotten them!!! Mail from home helps to keep our troops' morale strong, making a very real difference in their lives.

Send your signed, unsealed holiday cards to:

Mrs. Kathy Orr
OPERATION: LOVE FROM HOME
P.O. Box 1660
Loganville, Georgia, 30052

The cards can be handmade or store-bought... for that matter, they don't even have to be cards; a hand-written or typed letter is just as wonderful! This is a great opportunity to get your Scout troop, school, church and other civic organizations involved in doing something to show support for our troops.

If you wish to send an email greeting (which will be printed off and mailed along with the holiday cards), please send an email to: LoveFromHome@Gmail.com

**IMPORTANT GUIDELINES: This is not a "dating service" of any type. Please do not send suggestive or otherwise inappropriate cards or materials. Please also refrain from making political statements of any nature. I will be reading and screening every card received to ensure that the above guidelines are adhered to. Remember: This is strictly to let the troops know that we love them, we are proud of them and that we HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN them! If you have any questions, please contact me at LoveFromHome@Gmail.com

Why would my design not be included?

2006-10-01T18:54:00.000-04:00

1. A design is not included if it does not fit into the topics for this site. Even wonderful designs.

2. A design is not included if it does not meet the criteria for this site. Even wonderful art.

3. If I didn't find the design, I can't include it. That happens for a lot of reasons. Make sure that you have words in your product descriptions and store or section description that will be found using the keyword search. Make sure your images are tagged and that those tags are obvious. Give your products useful names. If you submitted a design to be included did you provide the tags used for the image so I can find it in the marketplace?

4. I might skip a design if it is only on a few products. I don't want to frustrate my visitors by showing them a really great design but the only thing it is available on is a baby bib. If you have a basic shop, open a new shop for each design. Don't slap the design on literally everything, but do put the design on anything that it fits well on.

5. Give it two weeks before getting anxious. I like to get away from the computer, and sometimes other obligations mean something is going to give.

6. I ethicially or philosophically disagree with the design. I can be pretty wishy-washy on this one. It depends on how strongly I feel, and how the particular design makes me feel.

7. I just don't like you. Well it would be pretty darned hard for me to form an opinion of most people. But if you happened to be one of those folks who decided to publish my work without my permisssion, then yes, you are on my list to never include here.

8. You didn't submit the design. (Keep in mind the other above points before submitting).

Want to Add Your Design?

2006-09-01T18:58:00.000-04:00

You must be a CafePress shop owner to be included. If you have the right kind of art but don't have a CafePress shop you can open one for free. Learn how to open your own shop. It is really easy to get started, but if you need help, let me know. If you want to learn more about what it takes to operate a shop consider the book, Success with Cafepress.com.

Remember I'm looking for fun, family-friendly designs that celebrate holidays and special occasions. So that special picture of your dog playing fetch may be lovely, but not for Occasions: Design of the Day. A picture of your dog surrounded by Christmas ornaments has a good chance of being posted.

Feel free to submit up to 3 designs per shop. Contact: shopkeeper at bestdcgifts.com
