Dear Readers,

I grew up in the military and as a result moved every 2 to 4 years. In fact , at 6 1/2 years, this is the longest I've lived in any one state (wow, just typing that makes me antsy). I apparently am ancient because there was no facebook or hotmail (at least not in my world) to keep in touch. Every time I moved I was determined to keep in touch with my BFFs. After all the second "F" means FOREVER right? Well it didn't last forever, but we would write letters back and forth to each other--sometimes pages and pages-- to update each other on our lives. I was always the better letter writer in all of my relationships. Not the best technically, just the most consistent.  I loved to write letters. I loved to put my thoughts down on paper and make the recipient feel like she was a part of my day, my week, my months, really, my life. Now we have e-mail and facebook and we keep in touch that way. But really, do we? A long letter seems like a given; a long e-mail seems like an annoyance. A long facebook message? Forget it. While I don't write letters anymore, I do try to keep up with sending my friends cards for special occasions, or even just because. Thank you cards, I'm sorry cards, I miss you cards, etc. I love finding sites that inspire me to send these cards simply because they have an array of witty, charming, poignant, or just plain beautiful sentiments. Here are some of my faves.
