Operation Baking Gals Round 31 Roundup
I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who participated in Team Beantown Baker for Operation Baking Gals Round 31. Team members sent care packages to my friend Nate who is stationed in Afghanistan. Nate should be getting all of his packages later this month. Thanks again everyone who helped make Nate’s day a bit brighter.
I asked the members of my team to send me any pictures or links to blog updates about their packages. I love seeing all the hard work people have put in to help make a stranger’s day. Here are some of the things that Nate will be receiving from our team.

My kids and I are going to join you! This is really cool!
I joined a few weeks ago after reading one of your old posts about this. Your team wasn’t formed yet so I picked a different one. Maybe next month! I am so excited for this! GREAT idea!
I LOVE this idea. I’m going to look into this!
I am seriously impressed with how much time you give to others and share your love of baking with those who need it most!
YAY! I’m glad you’re back to doing teams…but I wish I had known earlier 🙁 already picked! Next time I’ll wait it out for you.
I joined 🙂
We finally got our package done! Here’s a link to what I wrote about it: My 8 year old did the whole thing.
