Yesterday Marianne, David and I spent about 3 hours making up care packages to send to our troops ... and today Marianne and I repacked a couple of them ... weighed ... addressed ... filled out customs forms ... and added postage to 15 packages weighing a total of 200 pounds ... the soldiers should get them in about 2 weeks ...
it really felt so good putting them all together ... I had been thinking we didn't have that much stuff until we started making the packages ... then I realized we really had a lot of great stuff to send everyone ... and the boxes were awesome ...
I made mixed CDs for each ... 2 each of the 50's, 60's, 70's ... and an 80's a 90's and a holiday mix ... plus some homemade lip balm ... and then we had tons of books, magazines, catalogs, snacks, cards, toys ... they were just stuffed full ... it really was so awesome ... I am so glad we could do a bit for others ...
