This was an unexpected treasure we saw in Bishopville on our recent trip to SC.
Pearl Fryar created them in an area that had cornfields all around his house and are a living work of art! It is so awesome in person.

Operation Quiet Comfort Greeting Card Project
questions regarding cards. (diane52381@nc.rr.com)
All cards are mailed to:
D Schneider
6305 Cape Charles Drive
Raleigh, NC 27617
The type of cards should be:
Thinking of you
Patriotic
Thank you
Cheerful Card
SIZE: Approximately 4x5 or ½ sheet of cardstock to fit into a quart size baggie, which is how we ship them.
** NO GLITTER or LOOSE EMBELLISHMENTS ** This is at the direction of the medical staff.
Every card we send -- whether in a Go Bag or a staff shipment -- must have a personal message written inside. Start off with “Dear Hero” or something similar. This makes it appropriate for any military unit service member.
The message can be a simple “thinking of you”, “thank you for your service” or a letter describing yourself, your family, your town. Write from the heart. Sign with your name/city/state. Ask family and friends to sign cards too. We like to have cards from many different people from all over the United States.
If you do not know what to write, OQC has members willing to fill your blank card with a heartfelt message.
We also welcome cards from children that follow these guidelines. ** NO ENVELOPES ARE NEEDED **

white elephant swap: flat rate box filled with magazines, notions and fabric that was still good, and usable but not something they wanted anymore, and sent it to a person on the list.The person then took what they wanted out of the box, and put something of equal value in the box, and then send it to the next person on the list. It keeps going around, until it gets back to the person it started. a good way to get rid of some of your stash, and get new stash at the same time!
