A few years ago I made a point to try to send out birthday cards to every family member, close friend, and even some random people. Like the President, Taylor Swift, Mickey Mouse, and Phil Mickelson. Oh wait…those were wedding invitations. Want to guess which two responded?
I have officially done a great job (if I do say so myself) of sending out cards to everyone. Or at least to all the birthday’s I’m aware of (thank you Facebook!). Cards can break the bank when you have 121 to buy. And yes, I totally counted. Either I hit up the Dollar Tree for 2/$1 cards, or I attempt to create something a little more personal. Who gets which card has nothing to do with how much I love them. Nothing at all. I suppose they know they’re really special when they get a gift too. If it’s handmade, extra point for them.
(Really my main goal is just to be overwhelmed with birthday cards on my own birthday. So far, this hasn’t happened. Each year I lose a little more hope.)
I found this card online (with a free printable and instructions) and I LOVE it. How fun is it? Visit Oh Happy Day in the link above for the instructions. Plus, she has cute little videos that look much more magical than my photo. I just couldn’t do it justice.
Super cute!
Thanks! 🙂
What a cute card 😀 People must be so happy when they get creative things from you <3
I’m not so sure! I think they’d rather get cash. 🙂
haha I see. If i got things like that I would be so happy! haha
I’ll have to send them to you instead. 🙂
Yay that would be awesome 🙂
I always love getting cards from you.. They make my day.. You always have something sweet to say .. I hate winters, so a card from you once in awhile is super.
I’m betting Taylor Swift and Mickey Mouse (you *must* let me know!)…….[though, perhaps, it was the President, actually, as votes are so precious these days?!]……love your post (send me your address, and your birthday, I’ll totally send you a handmade card for your birthday – I *love* making cards!)…….[sorry, haven’t been checking in as I’ve been in some sort of awful funk….am coming out of it so will be back with a vengeance ;)]
Yes!!! It was Mickey Mouse and the President!! I was wishing for T Swift, I totally thought I had a chance there. I had read before the wedding that if you send an invitation to the White House and to Disneyland, that both will send you a card, so I thought I’d see if it works! And I would LOVE a homemade card for my birthday! My friends typically steer clear of homemade cards for me! Haha.
Hah! I knew it! But Taylor let me down…..(LOL!)….send me your address/birthday, honey, and a card will wing it’s way to you 😉
