Mit lands Bloghop/My country Bloghop

Link til Bloghop
Som mor til en soldat, der har været i Afghanistan, ved jeg hvor meget det betyder at få en håndskrevet hilsen, fra en udsendt. Som jeg før har fortalt, er det ubeskriveligt at få et brev, fra en man savner SÅ meget, at det gør ondt. Jeg har ikke tal på hvor mange gange vi har læst de kort der kom fra Mikkel, og det betød noget helt specielt at vi vidste at han havde haft det i hænderne. (det var stadig fyldt med støv og sand ;-)
Derfor er jeg også beget beæret over at få lov til at være med i en Bloghop, som er arrangeret af vores egen Charlie fra OSH og af Sandy fra operation write home i USA. Nyd Bloghoppen og få en masse skøn inspiration.

As the mother of a soldier who has been in Afghanistan, I know how much it means to get a handwritten letter from a deployed soldier. As I've mentioned before, it's indescribable to get a letter from someone you miss SO much that it hurts. I've lost count of how many times we've read the letters that came from Mikkel, and it meant something special that we knew he had it in his hands. (In fact it was still filled with dust and sand ;-))

I am therefore truly honored to be allowed to participate in a Bloghop arranged by our own Charlie from OSH and Sandy from the Operation Write Home in America. Enjoy the Bloghop and I hope you'll see a lot of wonderful inspiration.



På mit bidrag til Bloghoppen, har jeg valgt at sætte den lille havfrue, da hun, for mig, er noget af det mest "danske" og kendt over hele verden. God fornøjelse...

In my contribution to this Bloghop, I have chosen to put the little mermaid, as she, for me, is very Danish and known worldwide. Enjoy ...


Næste stop er hos en af OWH's kortmagere .
Your next stop on the bloghop is an OWH supporter .

  8. Love your card. The colors are so soothing and the image really adds to the message that the person sending the card is missing Home. Thank you for sharing and supporting your troops.

  9. I love cards that are simple to do in mass quantity but still look lovely. The squares would be so easy to cut/punch, and offers great opportunity to mix and match papers. Very nice!

  12. That's a great sketch and you did a wonderful job conveying the "wishing" and "missing" someone with that mermaid. We like mermaids too! Thanks for sharing!

  18. Such a beautiful card and the sentiments you've shared about knowing the card you are holding was also held by your son really touch the heart. Even in this day of amazing technology it is nice to know that some things we might label 'old-fashined' hold meaning. Thank you for joining in today's hop!

  28. Such a great card! Thanks for sharing. I love the Danish mermaid tie in. I also have a military son. My Trevor is in the US Navy and will be home soon after 4 years. He spent 8 months in Afghanistan. I know that sounds funny, the US Navy in Afghanistan, but it's true. He is in the Seabees (Construction Battalion) and they were over there building on the Marine Base in the middle of the country. It made my day when I got a letter from him!

    It's so much fun sharing with our Danish sisters!

  29. The Little Mermaid will definitely remind them of home. I still have my Little Mermaid from Copenhagen. It reminds me of the great visit to your beautiful country.

  38. I have loved the story of the little mermaid since I was a small child. Long before the Disney movie. Think you for such a beautiful card that represents a wonderful landmark in your country.

    SvarSlet
  39. Love the patchwork and mermaid. I am enjoying the little glimpses of Danish life...what's the same and what's different. As a military wife and mom, I know very well how cherished a card is from a deployed loved one. Thanks for being part of the hop.

    SvarSlet
  40. I can see you like to make multiples of a card design, just as I like to. Last week there was some discussion on OWH-TV about how many multiples folks are willing to do. Some folks prefer to use a different design every time, but that is just too slow for me! (It takes me a long time to design one card!!) Thanks for sharing.

    Hello from the U.S.! I really like tiled/patchwork cards. I well remember the Little Mermaid when I was in Denmark many years ago. My sister and I sat nearby and just looked that her. It was so peaceful. Thank you for taking part in this international blog hop. It's always fun to see new styles and expand my collection of sketches and inspiration.
