get ready.....

let's create this whimsical wednesday.  create and share.  make a homemade card.  use very simple materials like a piece of paper for the printer or lined notebook paper used for schoolwork or construction paper or old wrapping paper, whatever is available at home.  decorate with crayons, markers, pictures cut out of any catalogue (i enjoy using seed/nursery catalogues because the pictures are of flowers).  send the card in whatever envelope you have handy to someone you'd like to enjoy the pleasure of finding real mail in the real mailbox.  if you are in a very creative, generous mood, make and send more than one.  enjoy!

  1. this is perfect! I *never* have the appropriate store made cards hanging around at birthdays or thank you times. The kids frequently make their own cards for all sorts of occasions. I have found it really personalizes any gifts given, and it helps us to reflect on our actual gratitude. I'm sure we have thank you notes to write!

  2. maybe you'll have a moment to turn your attention to card making even if it's not wednesday. if you do, please let us know about it. i've been spending today thinking about my card(s) and who to send them to.
