Important - New Store Hours

First, we want to assure you that the shop will NOT be closing!! But, due to the rising gas prices, the slow economy, and some family issues we need to cut our hours back for a while. This is only temporary, just until things improve. The new hours are:

Thursday and Friday – 10am – 5pm
Saturday 10am – 4pm

What could be better than doing what we love—making beautiful cards—and helping our nation's brave heroes at the same time? Thousands of cardmakers across America are joining forces to share their gifts and talents to bless those deployed far from home, and in return are bringing smiles to families and friends across the country! There are no Hallmark stores in Baghdad! Operation Write Home's mission is to support our nation’s armed forces by sending blank greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.

"What kind of cards do service members prefer?"
We're told that general cards are in greatest demand since they are not time-sensitive: miss you, love, birthday, thinking of you, hello, thank you. They send cards to husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, children and friends, so any of these themes directed to any of these audiences are fabulous!

"What kind of cards should I avoid?"
No glitter that will flake off the card—it is a safety hazard; it can make a mess on a uniform and make a hero visible to night-vision goggles! Please do not send suggestive or risqué cards; we do not wish to offend any of our service members. Funny cards are okay, but keep them positive and upbeat. Avoid odd holiday sentiments—like "congratulations on your new kitten" or "welcome to the neighborhood." All cards must be handmade, no store-bought cards are accepted, sorry. Also, envelopes are not necessary.

Discount Day

On the 15th of every month receive 15% off your entire order (regular priced items only, special orders excluded). If the 15th falls on a Sunday, Monday or a holiday the reward will be given the next day the shop is open. The discount will absolutely not be given before the 15th. You must be present in the store to receive the discount, mail orders not eligible.

Stamp of the Month Program

We offer a Stamp of the Month Program through a wonderful stamp company called Great Impressions. Each month we will have new stamps that were used to create an astonishing sample board. All of the stamps used on the board are available for purchase and one stamp is featured as the Stamp of the Month. You may buy that stamp at half price with a $10 purchase of anything in the store. There is also an instruction sheet and color photograph of the board that you can purchase as well. The Stamp of the Month section is located near the door at the entrance to the store. Please ask at the cash register if you have any questions.

Birthday Discount Program

Come in during the month of your birthday, show your driver's license and receive 20% OFF YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE! (valid only once during that month). Remember, you have only the month in which your birthday falls to take advantage of this discount. If you miss your month, you must wait until your next birthday.

Special Orders

We will be happy to place a special order for you, but please be aware that you will be required to prepay. This is due to the fact that minimums must be reached with the companies before we are able to place the order. Therefore, ordering and shipping times will range from 2-6 weeks, depending on how long it takes to reach that minimum.

So stop by soon and see what's new and exciting. Be sure to check out our upcoming classes, too!

Store Policies:

Returns: There will be no returns on magazines, books, stamps, punches, or any opened items. Please make sure you do not already have an item before you purchase it.
