Have you ever heard of sending cards for a cause?  Well, I hadn't until recently.  I came across this cause while I was blog surfing.  Jen at Iheart2stamp.com has the complete info. but here's the gist of it.

Dallas Baptist university (DBU) has students from over 50 countries and our cards will be given to them.  So if you have some extra time make a card and send it to :

Dallas Baptist Universary
Attn: Julie Carlisle
3000 Mountain Creek Pkwy
Dallas, TX 75211

Birthday and all occasion are best and please leave inside blank.

If you are interested in winning some great prizes for you efforts check out Jen Del Muro tart giveaway.  She is giving away $450 worth of goodies if you follow the rules to the contest and participate by sending along a card to DBU.

Here is the card I am sending along.
