With thanks to the ladies & gents at DaisyTrail xxx

I asked the lovely members of DaisyTrail Scrapbook Forum if they could design some layouts suitable for Valentines Day that I could them make up into cards ready to be sent out with the next consignment of cards.

Here are the gorgeous pages I was sent, made up into cards. Its great to have such a variety of styles and I'd like to thank everyone that took the effort to send me their pages - you have all been very kind.

I will be using each image more than once to make the stash bigger

On behalf of those who will receive the cards, thank you

Visit to RAF Odiham, Monday 19th Oct

Yesterday I was able to pay a visit to RAF Odiham with the grateful help of James Cawley and met up with Flt Sgt Chris Gregory in person.

We were treated with the upmost respect and the 1st order of the day on our arrival, was a nice cup of tea which went down very well.

We were given a guided tour of the hangers and saw one of the chinooks being used as a training platform for future Chinook engineers

We then went outside and watched 2 of the huge beasts fire up their massive engines and haul themselves up into the sky. I know about how they create downforce and all the technical stuff, but as Flt Sgt Gregory stated - its magic that keeps them there and I believe him

I was transfixed and could have stayed watching them for ages - but it was flipping cold :-)

We then returned to James car and unloaded the 5 boxes of cards and went back to the office to get warm and we discussed making the scheme more "corporate" so will be working on a new corporate image and website over the next couple of days.

More details to follow about that :-)

Both I and James had a fantastic day and I want to thank everyone that has sent in cards from all over the country to help get this scheme off the ground (without the aid of a chinnok or a safety net either).

This is an ongoing scheme so will be busy making cards for the next delivery.

Thanks again and don't forget to look out for details of the new website.

Wednesday update

Hi all, sorry its been a few days since I updated the blog but its all go here - in a good way.

On Monday 19th October, I am being taken down to RAF Odiham, Hampshire to deliver in person the first consignment of cards and I am overwhelmed at the generosity of everyone who has contributed so far

Here is the 1st lot to go down, each box / bag is completely chocoblock full of cards that have been donated so far and I shall be going down to the collection point again on Saturday to gather any more that have come in.

A big thank you to everyone who has contributed and helped to support this cause and please check the deadlines on the RHS for future themed cards

More cards received and we've made it into the local paper

Good morning everyone, beautiful day here and I've just taken collection of another box full of cards for the box. They are stunning and I will be thanking the sender by e-mail very soon xx

And finally, there is an article in one of the local papers this week about the scheme so fingers crossed it generates some more "business" so to speak.

Keep spreading the word and keep an eye out for the deadlines
