This is the time of year when everyone makes resolutions. Why not make a resolution to make more cards. Sending a card can make a real difference in a person's day. Don't just wait for birthdays to let someone know that you think of them often. Make up several types of cards in advance so when the need arises, you have the perfect card to share. You never know when a few words can make someone's day.Handmade gifts are also a way to brighten someone's day. Use up that stash you have and make some gifts to share. People love knowing that you went to the extra effort to make a gift for them.
Don't forget Valentine's Day. Cards aren't just for school kids. Make some valentines to share with those you love. Better yet, make a gift and a card.
Lastly, don't put away that Christmas stash just yet. Take a little time to go through it and put away anything that you are sure you will use next year. Put the rest in a box to give away. Schools are always looking for donations.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
