Happy Day

Card by Beth of Seaside Dreamer


Today I came home to a good mail day!!! This wonderful card sent to me by my friend Beth! She told me she had a new stamp from Character Constructions and I asked her to make me a card. I forgot about that until today! I love her art so much and this card is just fantastic!!! It really made my day! It got me to thinking how much happiness a card in the mail can bring.

So, I had a BRIGHT IDEA, I am going to send a card to someone whose blog I really love, and so I thought if each one of us did that, just one card to one blogger, how cool would that be!!!! I am going to contact someone I don't know that well, but that will be the fun of it....so, come on, let's all join in! Let me know what happens if you do it!

Then, once I was unwinding from the day, getting ready to eat dinner with Mike, Miss Jane called with the news that the stamps that we were coveting and going ape over from
Hero Arts
were in! So, off we went to Archiver's. You know we have to have them tonight even though we won't be stamping with them until this weekend!

So, all in all, quite a lovely day! Now, let's send a card people!

Whoaaaa....gosh, if I had known I was going to get front page billing for this little card, I would have really "wowed" you with something more spectacular. This was just a quickie so you could see my new stamp...but, I'm so glad you loved it and the fact that it inspired an idea for you.

So now let's see who wants to play "cards"....it will be a fun little journey !!!!!

And Laura, what's the t-shirt logo....shares well with others....that should be your middle name !!! You're the best !!!

So YOU are the one that started this!

I was touched by a blogger I hadn't met before contacting me, saying she wanted to send me a card ... Because she enjoyed reading what I shared on my blog!

This is such a wonderful thing you have begun. I must tell you it made my day bright to hear from someone out of the blue ...

And now I know where it started ::smile::
It is so very like you!

Quite ... WoNdErFuL!

huge BIG hugs,
=^..^= love zU
