Birth Month Goodness.

September is my birth month.  That's a big deal in my world, because I pretty much celebrate my birthday all month long.

For the past several years (2011 and 2012) I've made a simple birthday wish on my personal blog, Whiskey Tango Hello, asking that you send a letter to someone you love, to our troops, or to give to the USO.

This year, I'm stepping it up a notch.  To help celebrate me, please consider a gift to the USO via my USO page at http://www.teamuso.org/create/bethcovington.  Here you'll find an easy way give a donation - any size of donation will mean the world to me and to our troops and their families.

To say thank you for giving, I'm giving away this "Inspire" paper bag scrapbook to one lucky contributor!  For every $5 you give through my page, I'll enter your name in the drawing.  For those who give $25, you'll get 10 entries!

It's truly just a "Thank You" because the real gift is knowing a military family is staying in touch while mom or dad is deployed, tired troops are getting a morale boost from Robin Williams, Toby Keith, tor the Dallas Cowgirls, a wounded warrier is being visited by Jessica Simpson - it's just amazing what all the USO provides for our troops. So much more than this.

So I hope you'll consider joining me in helping our troops.  And Celebrate my birthday with me! :)

Work in Progress!

I'm so excited to have a large Christmas order... glitter, stickers and paper have exploded all over my house! It's wonderful! (My very most favorite holiday).

This is what a work in progress looks like. Paper, stickers, buttons, strips, and more pushed together into piles and usually I know where everything is that I'm looking for... usually.

In my spare time, I like taking the paper scraps and making cards to send to our troops and veterans, thanking them for their service.  I know I'm a random stranger, but I feel compelled to share with them my appreciation for their service.  There are several places online to find addresses to send letters and/or packages to, if you are interested.  Just google them!
