What a Difference Sending a Card Makes!!!

Card stories to share with you today – some are heartwarming, some amusing!

On World Card Day I was traveling and couldn’t offer an event, so I just posed a question on my Facebook page:

Who are you making a card for or sending a card to today?

Just look at some of the responses! From very touching..

Every Saturday, I make 5 “Thinking of you” cards for my mom who has been bedridden at home for 4 years now. My dad can give her mail to open each day (Audrey W)

Making a thinking of you card for a friend that her 18 year old son was in a car accident last weekend and fighting for his life. I hope to cheer her. If anyone else would like to send her a card please let me know. Have a wonderful day. Be thankful for everyone in your life today. We never know what tomorrow holds.(Dawn D)

Sending a card to my grand daughter and her boy friend who were in a bad car accident this week….no card making for me this week….hospital sitting….please pray for them (Tammy F)

Working on thank you cards for all those who have been helping me during my breast cancer surgery and recovery (Doris J)

— On Monday’s Ultimate Pink Blog Hop, I shared that when I was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago and received cards from so many people … that is when the power of cards really hit home for me!

to the funniest combination I have ever heard of – the Big Shot and Turkey Hunting

I’m turkey hunting today in Minnesota, but lucky me. I have a big shot so I’m running leaves through on my breaks. I’m excited to make fall cards with them. (Conandjod T)

to a couple of self-serving ones

I’m sending a card to my mom because you taught me how to make one. Happy weekend. We missed your video this week. (Gail B)

and one – never happens anymore now that we have computers! (who else had pen pals in grade school?)

I’m sending a card to my friend, Kelly. In fifth grade, her name was one of hundreds of students I could choose from as a pen pal. She was from Oregon. I was from Maine. I wrote my first letter to her when I was 10 years old. Forty-four years later, we are good friends. We see each other every few years. We communicate via text, Facebook, 2-hour phone chats and cards. If it had not been for that pen pal project, we would have never met. (Ann P)
