Stationary for the Holidays

As a card maker, I truly believe in the written note. But with technology these days, many do not take the time to write a letter. So the next best thing is stationary that feeds from your printer. The Blog theme this week is paper. The first thing I thought about of course were cards, but then I found this Christmas Stationary at Eccentric Thrifter. This store not only has stationary, but books on many topics, including the holidays.

Holiday Stationary

During the holidays, along with sending a traditional card, many people take the time to type out what they have done over the year. We have family friends that put their year into a poem, along with pictures and print it out on Christmas stationary. It is fun to read and we look forward to it every year. The holidays are about Family and Friends, so make sure this year you do take the time to send a note to let them know even though our year may have been busy, you are thinking of them, and don't forget to take a moment to visit Eccentric Thrifter.

Forgotten Holidays

Did you know today is Aunt & Uncle Day? I didn't, but apparently it is. As a maker of greeting cards, you would think I should know that, but I didn't. Nowadays, it seems we have a special day for almost anything. We even have days to celebrate a flavor of ice cream, July 23rd was Vanilla Ice Cream Day. But lets not forget the reason Holidays or Special Days were created. They are a time for remembering and celebrating, whether it be your Parents,

Father

Grandmother

 Grandparents,
 or even the birth of Jesus. Now we don't need to have a particular day to tell someone they are appreciated, but we certainly should not forget the days that are dedicated to these special people. I found this link for 2013 holidays and Special Days. It is a way to keep us all in "the know" for up coming Days we should remember. Some of them are just fun days, but it will give you something to quiz your friends and family about. And just as a heads up, this Sunday is Parent's Day. So don't forget about Mom & Dad!
