100 Reasons to Send a Card
 

The paper industry is pushing back on all things digital and has a great website that includes this awesome list of 100 reasons to actually take that paper card and put it in the mail!

100 Unconventional Reasons to Send a Card

Great list! I've emailed the link to my card-making friend back East (who is responsible for the fact that I even make cards). I'm sure that she'll enjoy it as much as I did! :)

I love it! Thank you SO much, Joan, for sharing!

I'm going to print this off and post it in a prominent place as a reminder.

Thanks, Joan. Great list. I especially like the one about recognizing made-up holidays.

My daughter always celebrates Ice Cream for Breakfast Day with her 8 children, which I think is wonderful! So do the kids.

Thanks for sharing!!!

That was a really cool list. Thanks for taking the time to share!

I like it! Thanks! I bookmarked it.

Great list! Thanks for sharing!

Love it. Thanks! I need to send more just because to brighten someone's day

what an awesome list Joan...

Joan, I love this list! Thanks for sharing it! Hugs!

I'd like to send you a Thank You card for posting this list...but there's that mail thing, and no address!

I'd be thrilled. I'll pm you my address!

How fantastic!
Thanks so much for sharing!

Love it. Thanks!!!

This is such a great list. I just printed it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks for posting this list!

This is a fantastic list! Thanks for sharing, Joan!!

What do they mean, "No one sends Happy Thanksgiving cards." ? I have for years. On top of this, a homemade card scores more!

You know the saying:Keep on trucking! Well, keep on Card Making. Thanks for sharing. More inspiration. There is nothing like getting a handmade card. In addition, receiving a card I had made just keeps me smiling and creating more cards.

Thanks for sharing this Joan! I shared it on my facebook page!

LOVED reading that delightful list! Happy to say that I've been sending out blueberry season cards for several years (July/August). Everyone expects Christmas cards, so I choose other holidays to highlight my handmade cards. There are Internet lists of nationally declared days, weeks, months and years. It's so easy to find an unusual day to celebrate! One of these sites is National Day Calendar (sorry, don't know how to link). You can look at future months to see what's coming. Today is National Soft Ice Cream Day...who knew? Such fun!

Great ideas!! One year I was swamped and didn't get to send out Christmas cards. When February rolled around and my life had settled down a bit, I sent Valentines to everyone on my Christmas card list. I can't tell you how many people said that they liked them better because it helped break up the winter.

Fun thread ... Thanks, Joan, for starting it.


I found this link for unusual holidays:
