    This is something we ALL need to do more of, me included. They mean so much to the recipient.

    I sure enjoyed reading about your background in the card business and your Zazzle cards are so lovely. I know how important Greetings Cards have been to me and I keep saying that I am going to do better about sending them. I try always send ones that I have made but it seems that I am either out of ink or paper when I get ready to make one to send. I used to keep a lot printed up so I could just grab one from the stack and mail and need to do that again. Thanks for reminding me about the importance of giving Greeting Cards.

    What a journey to get you where you are today. Your cards are beautiful. I used to send cards all the time but like others have gotten away from them. I really need to take more time and send some in "snail mail" form.

    You have made some lovely cards, Barb. I've been enjoying making cards on Zazzle, too.

    I used to own a greeting card business, custom greeting cards that businesses could send to their clients. I loved it, but I would have rather been involved in the creative end, rather than the business end of things. I sold it several years ago and have often wondered if places like Zazzle have affected the traditional card companies. Anyway, I enjoyed your lens! Nice to meet you!

    I love sending cards! Usually I pick up a Hallmark in the grocery store. Wow, you are a lady of many talents! :)

    I prefer sending and receiving traditional cards, but time constraints had made me send many "e" versions. You have such lovely designs, Barb! =D

    This is terrific. When I used to send cards, my favorites were Suzy's Zoo and Boynton, in fact, will always be my favorites. I did use Send out cards and Blue Mountain but think that I need to go back to the personal touch. Snail mail cards really become more important because they are no longer commonplace. Great lens

    I really enjoyed this! I love cards also, but right now I use SendOutCards since I can send regular (cardstock) greeting cards from my computer, so I haven't bought greeting cards in a store for awhile.
