We’ve been getting loads of fantastic cards in recently… in fact you can virtually browse some of the selections on the very side bar of this blog —>\"12_4\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Like Avanti<\/a> …they have mastered the hilarious animal card (and did you know they are based in Detroit?)<\/p>\n

This one says, "Did you know how fast you were going over that hill?"<\/a> (this one is going to my dad in September)\"20\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And Dolly Mama<\/a> always puts a silly spin on things.<\/a> Inside it reads, "I enjoy every minute of it!  Have a wild & crazy birthday"\"7_2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Laini’s Ladies<\/a> are a card and gift in one because the fanciful center piece is also an ornament of sorts.<\/p>\n

\"6_2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Kathleen Taylor’s quirky characters<\/a> have a subtle way of telling it like it is.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Quoteable cards<\/a> – there’s always a number of them that speak to my heart.  I love this quote – what  a great reminder to have on my bulletin board.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Then there’s the always funny, Mina Lee<\/a><\/p>\n

\"9\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And the heartfelt Curly Girl<\/a>. ahhh… the colors, saying, composition – love everything about this design.<\/p>\n

I have to say there is something very special about getting a card in the mail just because.  A hand addressed envelope amidst the stack of bills and other offers always makes my heart smile.  <\/p>\n

And what’s even more exciting is finding a surprise goody inside the card like…<\/p>\n

Hmmmm… who could I surprise this August?  It’s fun to spread a little unexpected joy around.<\/p>\n
