With the internet being such a part of our lives, now greeting cards can be sent with just a few clicks and key taps. When these things first started coming out I thought they were completely impersonal and that I would n-e-v-e-r send one.
Well, of course, never say never, and, now ever since last year with the Invasion of the E-Cards in our home, these cards we send these things to each other regularly. And, the cards from my children have just blessed my life. Who'd thought these things would become a part of my family scrapbooks!
The kids send cards to each other with such such sweet and funny words ~ being a house with mainly boys, you can begin to imagine the verbal exchanges :) This one from my daughter just meant the world to me ~ she giggled as I made my mouse kiss the little guy, and, be sure to click exit to read her message!!
While I don't print them all, I do print the screen(s) of the cards that are treasures to keep and save them in my album just as I would cards through the mail. Even now as we look at them in our albums they bring precious memories and moments.
So, start sending and saving your e-cards. All you have to do is click on one of the links below, browse through the 'card aisle' and forward to your loved ones. Then, be sure to hit "print" on your browser to preserve the cards that are sent or received that mean the most. I just crop around the printed card to remove the extra paper, mount it on some of my mounting paper, file it, and, then put it in my album when I get to that date. These have become a permanent part of our family's story and are now honestly are treasured just as much as a card from the 'real' card store.
- Crosscards ~ This one has some beautiful Christian cards. There are even some reminding us to set our clocks ahead Saturday.
- Hallmark ~ having just come from vacation, I think my kids have clicked and watched that car with the snakes card at least 50 times :) I just love the Interrupting Ghost and Mama's Little Vampire, they just make me giggle. And of course, I've received lots of 'nature cards' with "Mommy's birds and deer".
- Monk-e-mail ~ my kids LOVE this one!! Who can resist a monkey that you can dress up and make it say what you type!!! :)
- American Greetings ~ We having used this one too much, but, I'm sure they are just as good
Have fun, and, get those e-cards flying!
