They have started a non-political, non-profit group called Scrapbooks for Soldiers. Tony and Julie Leggieri of Frederick, MD collect photographs from people, along with words of encouragement and thanks to our soldiers, assemble them into scrapbooks, and send them military bases, both here and abroad. The Leggieri's are asking the public to send them photos, of individuals, families, civic groups, people with their pets...anything goes (within reason). Pictures can be either emailed or sent via U.S. Postal Service and only need to include the person's name, city, state, and if they wish, words of thanks and/or encouragement.

Souffle' Ink Pens The magic behind the new Souffle' Ink Pens is that when you write with them, the ink rises up, like an actual egg souffle, giving it an embossed effect. The pens are great on non-pourous surfaces like coated papers, glass, metal and plastic.The Souffle' pens, which are made by Sakura of America, are very similar to the Glaze pens, also made by Sakura. The difference is that Souffle' ink dries to an opaque matte finish, whereas the Glaze ink dries to a glossy finish. Unlike pens that offer similar results, the new Souffle' pens provides "writing you can feel", eliminating the need for heat guns and powders which crafters have had to use. Souffle' pens come in ten colors: yellow, orange, light orange, pink, purple, light green, green, blue, gray, and white. They will be offered in two-pack pouches of each color with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) per pack of $3.96. It will also be offered in a ten-color assortment with a MSRP, of $19.80.
