I'm not sure I'm posting this in the correct forum but here's what I've been thinking...
I LOVE making cards and have seen some especially beautiful work, but do somewhat miss the quirky sayings that are printed on store cards. I was thinking we could start a list of great card sayings we've seen or thought of. Example,
Having a birthday? Inside: Me too! It's just on a different day.
You've got the quality I most like in a friend Inside: You like me!
Just a thought. I have more but I'll wait to see if there is any interest. Thanks!;)
Yippie!
I'm so glad some of you are interested in this. Keep posting them and I'll put them all on one sheet and will post that. I'll also find some more to add. Thanks!!!

I'll have to go looking in my files. I send out a lot of cards to our church...sometimes you just need to send something funny. I will look forward to the completed list. Thanks for doing that!
I will be out of town over the next two weeks, when I get back I'll compile what everyone has sent and post it. I'll let this run through the month to see how many we get.
I have no idea where I got these but here they are. Maybe you'll want to cut and past to your word program because this could take a while.

Warm cookies always make me feel better!
I�ll rise� but I refuse to shine!
I don�t have time to be this busy.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

It's the little moments that make life BIG
Savor the moments that are warm and special and giggly.
You're only young once, but you can always be immature.
My dh had Blue Comedy Tour on last night and Ron White had a good one that I thought would make a fun party invitation:
"If life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life handed them vodka and have a party!"
Ok, I'll play. I'm not the originator of ANY of these... I copy stuff down and keep quotes and things in a file I use when my mind can't come up with anything else ;) I also have some quotes for stamp-specific images (like Shoes, Martini glasses, etc.). Should I post 'em too?

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.
The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.
birthday (burth'da'), n: 1. a day on which the friends and relatives of a given individual express their affection for that person by remembering the day and the month of his or her birth and forgetting the year.
We thought your birthday was a great excuse to party...of course, we think anything is a great excuse to party...a parking space close to the door. New potato chip flavor in the vending machine. Toilet paper in all the bathroom stalls. Someone else had to refill the copier paper...
Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake.
Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

It's so funny that I found this thread (glad I went to page 2)
My aunt had breast reduction surgery today. No card in Hallmark for that occasion. So I went to the stamp store to browse, hoping something clever would come to me. Nothing did. I was thinking, too, that I can't make her anything sweet or cute. We've always sent over-the-top funny or even nasty cards to each other. Can't find stamps like that anywhere!
I've seen at least 4 on the lists that I need to use very soon; I can't wait to see the full list! I hope I didn't wake my DH laughing too loud! Keep em coming!
