Doodle Pantry Blog Parade

Good morning all! Welcome to the Doodle Pantry Blog Parade! If you are following along with the Blog Parade you should have arrived here from Sarah's blog. If you didn't come here from Sarah's blog please head to the Doodle Pantry blog for all the details (there are 5 prizes up for grabs!). You must comment on all blogs and link up at the end of the blog hop in order to qualify for the prizes.

I'm very excited to show you the set Patriotic Turtle used in a non-card form. Each Memorial Day we have a BBQ for our friends...we enjoy time together, good food, and salute the soldiers that have died in combat. This year I wanted to put up a little spot where people could write my son Jon a little note (he is serving in Afghanistan) to be included in a future box. I thought this Patriotic Turtle image and the 'God bless our troops' sentiment would be perfect so I made up this fun sign! See? You don't have to make just cards with these fun images!

Well, I hope you like my little sign and are enjoying the Blog Parade so far! Click HERE to go to the next stop, Karen's blog!

    I love your little sign. It's always fun to see digis used outside of "cards" (even though that's my favorite format)

    That is such a great idea. A lot of people are not always sure what to do and this little bit of encouragement is a sweet way of letting them know! He will be so excited when he opens his next parcel to see all the greetings.
    Blessings and prayers for your son and all your family!

    Love the turtle, Lorie. What a great idea to have everyone jot something for your son. My grandson is also serving and that has inspired me to do a lot of card for Operation Write Home. All of the patriotic images will make such wonderful cards for the troops. Thanks and God Bless Jon.
