Another card that I received today...


I am so fortunate to receive such lovely mail lately. Today I'm posting a card that Rita Made...I met Rita through a card forum at Yahoo. Rita makes such lovely cards.


I'm sorry that it's been so long since I visited my blog. I haven't had a chance to make a card this week, so I don't have anything new of mine to post.


I think some of my friends and family can't understand why I enjoy making cards so much. In the last four years or so, I have definitely lost count as to how many I have made. I know it's in the hundreds. Yes, Sometimes I do sell some for pin money. But I would never show a profit, I have too much money invested in paper and supplies. It's more fun to give them away, anyhow!


Today when I opened my mailbox and saw Rita's lovely card (by the way, my scan does not do the card justice) I realized why I make cards....

I so enjoy getting cards in the mail myself...but seeing Rita's homemade card (and remembering some of the other beautiful cards I have received recently) brought tears to my eyes. Getting a letter or card from someone is special, but getting something someone took the time to make and send your way is even more special. Thank you everyone. and God Bless.
