Random Inspirationals

Feeling drowsy on a non-inspirational Monday? Feel drowsy NO MORE!

For tired writers everywhere--WRITE ON!

Super cute card by a wonderful new (CANADIAN!!) brand I've just found called Dani Press. Lots of wonderful, inspirational cards.

And of course, what about Megan Fox is NOT inspirational?

An Ideal Boy and Means of Recreation

Here are some Indian educational charts in the form of postcards. Mildly amusing, if I do say so myself. Look out for teeth-brushers and be sure to hit up the circus!

Sealed with love...

Anyone, anywhere can fire off an email, send a fax or post something on your facebook wall. It takes a grand total of two and a half seconds--some text, the click of a button, and you're done. Instant communication, lost in the abyss of cyberspace--hardly what you would call an expression of love. With the advent of internet, yes, it's tragic, but true--we have almost lost the beautiful permanence of letter writing. Sure, it's slower and it's more tedious than sending an e-card, but it's the effort involved that makes cards, letters, notes in the mail expressions of love; because in taking the time to choose your stationary, write your note, enclose a photo or magazine article, and deliver it to a mail box or post office--you've just proven the depth and beauty of snail mail. You've just told someone, through your actions alone, that you love them.

You love cards. I love cards. We all love cards.

It's a reciprocal business, sending cards, letters, postcards, packages, flying elephants (ok, probably not the flying elephants, but if you do happen to find one, you should drop me a line). And so card-sharing should be a reciprocal business, too! Send me cards, letters, cool stationery, tidbits of mail--anything wonderful and whimsical that goes or comes in the mail. Scan it, add a little blurb telling us what it's all about--why it's special, why it's cute, why you love it, why we should love it--send it (sadly via email: cooper22722@yahoo.ca) and I'll post it. With love, of course.
