Santa Card Available in my Etsy Shop
Most handwritten cards and notes are sent around Christmas.
That is a shame.
Why? you ask.
Think back to the last time you found a handwritten letter among your pile of bills and junk mail retrieved from your mailbox. Now didn't you get just a little more excited about that particular piece of mail?
Did you rush to open it or save it until last so you could savor the knowledge that someone put a little extra effort into contacting you?
Sadly the art of sending personal notes and cards is being lost in our age of email and texts. Sure those forms of communication have a valuable place in our day to day communications but a handwritten note connects in way those methods never will.

Sending handwritten notes has a personal warmth and sets you apart in a really good way. When someone receives a note they automatically feel a little more special, a little warmer and creates a sweet little thought of you.
The late Maya Angelou said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

If you are unsure of the correct occasions to send a card or note I have made a list for you. But keep in mind it is never WRONG to send something handwritten!

- Reply to an invitation
- Condolences
- Congratulations
- Apology
- Love note
I recently created some blank note cards and placed them in my Etsy Shop
Go check them out and if you like them purchase a few. If they aren't your style or taste, the kindest thing you could do for me is share this post or links to my shop. Thanks!
Happy Writing!
