Notes

testing where this goes in recipe

I like to call “just because” cards “Cheer you Up” cards.  It’s true you don’t need a reason for a card…but often a friend needs some cheering up and would enjoy knowing you care.  This Quirky Critters stamp set would be great to send a quick and easy card.

What kind of bird is it?  I think it might be a kiwi from New Zealand but perhaps you recognize the bird better than I do?  Leave a comment letting me know what type of bird you think it is.

A special card to remind someone how awesome they really are!

Sometimes a friend or family member needs to be reminded just how wonderful they really are.  Quirky Critters stamp set makes a cute card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.  This year I really want to mail people cards.

Do you remember how exciting it used to be to get mail as a child?  I’m sure that no one out grows that excitement when the mail doesn’t remind you of money owing.

Will you mail someone a card today? It’s really like sending them a hug and smile all wrapped up together.
