Squidoo!

In a fit of boredom (I've been sick for a few days), I created a lens at Squidoo about the handwritten note. If you have a chance, I'd love for you to stop by and, if you like what you read, give me some stars (at the top of the page). You can even leave a comment! click here to visit

Here's a teaser (more at the lens!)

Celebrate with Birthday Cards!

Birthdays are one of the few occasions that we still send snail mail across the miles. Unfortunately, often we get so busy that by the time the day has arrived we often haven't yet purchased a card to send and instead settle for a phone call.

An easy way to prevent this is to designate a few times a year in which you plan to buy birthday cards for that season. You can visit your local card shop, or head to EtsyGreetings for a great selection of handmade cards. Plan to spend some time and enjoy yourself!

If you want, you can even address and stamp those envelopes as soon as you get home. Then, as each birthday approaches, you will simply need to sit down to write that special sentiment and drop it in the mail!

Ducky Deal of the Day

It's time for another Ducky Deal of the Day! Today only, any purchase in my Etsy Shop will be delivered with one lovely, lavender-scented sachet (of my choice). Here's a sample ... now if we only had scratch and sniff computer screens!

You Rock!

I couldn't choose just one - so I'm featuring FOUR great etsy artists today. All have fun and unique items that go perfectly with our "you rock" card. Celebrate with someone in a unique and clever way! Great for graduations, job promotions, or just wow-you're-cool moments.

Perfect Pink

marie fly fly is a darling shop embodying the 'less is more' design concept. These earrings are a terrific example of simple design resulting in a stunning look. Perfectly paired with our in stitches card (sold individually as well as in a set of four), a wonderful way to say "I'm thinking of you."

Spring

Dandee Designs is a fun little shop full of gift tags, big clips, pillow boxes and the darling Spring in a Can kit featured here. Just 5 days to your own little green grass garden - a sure way to chase away those winter blues!
