**********************************************************
Happy Veterans' Day! Welcome back for Day 2 of the Marine Corps Birthday Blog Hop! Thanks to all who stopped by yesterday and left comments. Remember--for those of you who stop by and leave comments all three days, you'll be entered into the big giveaway at the end of the hop.
Today is the day we honor all military veterans--past and present--who have fought to keep our wonderful country free. Thank to all of you! My dad is a U.S. Army veteran, serving as a military policeman in Munich, Germany, from 1962-1964. His uncle was a member of the U.S. Navy and fought and was killed during World War II in Japan. My husband's grandfather was a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and fought at Guadalcanal. Last--but CERTAINLY not least!--my husband is a proud member of the U.S. Marine Corps and has served proudly for the past 19 1/2 years. Thanks to my wonderful, handsome husband for giving up everything he has for the past twenty years!
For today's projects, I thought I'd post a few layouts I've done recently about my husband. I hope he doesn't visit my blog today, as he hasn't seen these yet!
As promised yesterday, I've got blog candy again today--another $10 gift card! This one will be to your choice of Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or JoAnn's, so when leaving your comment be sure to also leave a way to contact you. If you're trying for the BIG giveaway, you've got to leave a comment each day AND be a follower. As with yesterday, here are the requirements for the giveaways:
--Become a follower of my blog (if you're not already).
--Leave me a comment telling me you're a new follower or a follower already.
--To be eligible for the small drawings, you only need to comment on an individual day.
--To be eligible for the large drawing, you must comment each day of the hop AND be a follower.
All winners will be announced on Sunday, November 13.
Once again, here's the blog hop lineup in case you get lost along the way:
1. Ashley (That's me!)
2. Beckie
3. Anita
4. Alina
5. Angela
Your next stop on the hop is Beckie. Thanks for stopping by, and if you know a service member or veteran, be sure to take a moment to tell them thank you for their service. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have the freedoms we have today!
Semper Fi!
